Jessica Soho and GMA Public Affairs Connect Global Filipinos to the Heart of the Vatican
Jessica Soho and GMA Public Affairs Connect Global Filipinos to the Heart of the Vatican The world mourned the passing of Pope Francis on April 21, a moment that deeply resonated with the global Catholic community—especially in the Philippines, where over 80 percent of the population is Catholic. In this time of sorrow and spiritual reflection, GMA Public Affairs ensured Filipinos were front and center in witnessing history unfold. Spearheading GMA Public Affair's comprehensive coverage was Jessica Soho, the country's most awarded broadcast journalist and host of Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho (KMJS). Just days after the Pope's passing, Soho flew to Rome, becoming one of the first Filipino journalists accredited by the Holy See Press Office to cover the entire papal transition—from funeral rites to the conclave, and the election of the new pontiff. From the public viewing at St. Peter's Basilica to the transfer of Pope Francis' remains, Soho shared real-time updates on the ground, using mobile reporting to deliver timely coverage. While equipped with professional broadcast gear, she often relied on her phone to document and upload moments on the go, bringing the story swiftly and directly to Filipinos online. Through GMA Public Affairs' vast digital network—boasting over 160 million followers—her Vatican coverage reached a global Filipino audience and amassed over 47 million views, underscoring its powerful resonance and impact. KMJS also aired two special reports: one honoring the life and legacy of Pope Francis, and another chronicling the historic rise of Pope Leo XIV. Both episodes drew strong viewership, reinforcing Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho's position as a trusted source of news and storytelling—even in global events of historic significance Beyond the rituals, Soho spotlighted the voices of the Filipino community in Rome—from pilgrims and seminarians to clergy working in the Vatican. Prior to the conclave, Soho joined a Thanksgiving Mass presided over by Cardinal Luis Tagle—where she was invited to read the Prayers of the Faithful—and secured an interview with CBCP President Cardinal Pablo Virgilio David. When white smoke finally rose over the Sistine Chapel, Soho was there in St. Peter's Square as Pope Leo XIV emerged. During the Pope's first meeting with the media on May 12, Soho personally offered a zucchetto to be blessed—a deeply symbolic act on behalf of the Filipino people. She humbly asked the new Pope for a blessing for the Philippines, carrying with her the hopes and prayers of a nation preparing for its midterm elections. Through its Vatican coverage, GMA Public Affairs built a bridge connecting Filipinos to the heart of the Catholic world. Anchored by Jessica Soho's steadfast storytelling and faith-filled presence, Filipinos were not just informed — they were there. Catch KMJS every Sunday night on GMA and GTV. Viewers can also watch the livestream via KMJS' Facebook Page and GMA Public Affairs' Youtube Channel. Global Pinoys can catch it via GMA Pinoy TV. For more stories about the Kapuso Network, visit #
