MANILA, Philippines - A few days before 2015 ends, Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho (KMJS) takes its viewers back to the meaningful stories that left a mark in everyone’s heart. Tonight, the award-winning news magazine TV show will recount the year’s events that made watching KMJS a Sunday habit among Filipino households.
Every week, KMJS never fails to trend — a proof of the show’s relevance to its viewers even after more than a decade of being on Philippine TV.
One of the things viewers look forward to every Sunday is the one-on-one interview with prominent personalities. Last April, host Jessica Soho (photo) sat down with Willie Revillame a few weeks before the latter made a TV comeback. Willie opened up more about his life to Jessica — from becoming one of the country’s most successful people to facing life’s difficulties and getting back up again.
KMJS has also been a venue to showcase Filipinos’ innate talent. Dancing to the tune of Twerk It Like Miley, the Bukidnon linemen wowed the viewers with their balancing act on top of electric posts.
The show also sent us to memory lane with its weekly throwback segments. One of the stories that trended this year was the retro episode last March where KMJS relived our growing up years with childhood food such as Lala, Sergs chocolate, ice buko and Mikmik. Viewers also learned the stories behind their favorite brands Spartan slippers, Good Morning towel and Liwayway Gawgaw (cornstarch).
Stories that went viral and trended online did not escape KMJS. Even before he became part of Eat Bulaga’s Dabarkads, Baeby Baste have been featured in KMJS. Social media love team Norbing and Lourin met in person through KMJS.
True to its slogan “I-KMJS na ‘yan!”, the show never failed to dish out topics that are truly informative. The Antique Rice Terraces, for one, was first featured on Philippine TV through KMJS.
And what is 2015 without AlDub? KMJS goes back to what the AlDub Nation considers as “the best interview so far” with Philippines’ hottest love team to date — Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza.
KMJS airs Sundays after Ismol Family.
