Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho’s (KMJS) special series Katakot-Takot na Kurakot has become the latest viral topic online, drawing nationwide attention for its hard-hitting look into corruption and government anomalies.
The line “Hindi pala baha ang magpapalubog sa ating bayan, kundi kasakiman,” delivered by veteran journalist Jessica Soho, resonated with viewers, fueling conversations about accountability and public service.
Since its television premiere on Aug. 24, the investigative report has amassed more than 92 million views across Facebook, YouTube, and TikTok. The first episode alone surpassed 14 million views on YouTube, making it KMJS’s most-watched segment online this year.
Many credited the series for raising public awareness that helped inspire the recent “Trillion People March,” a nationwide call for transparency and reform.
Alongside its TV success, KMJS continues to strengthen its digital presence. The newly launched KMJS Podcast has exceeded 105 million views across social media platforms, including 68 million on Facebook, 22 million on TikTok, and nearly 15 million on YouTube.
The podcast features extended interviews by Soho with public figures such as Baguio City Mayor Benjamin Magalong, Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto, Senator Panfilo Lacson, DPWH Secretary Vince Dizon, Representative Kiko Barzaga, former Finance Undersecretary Cielo Magno, and former Commission on Audit Commissioner Heidi Mendoza. Viewers praised Soho’s calm but incisive questioning style that drew candid insights from guests.
The popularity of the Kurakot series and the KMJS Podcast underscores Filipinos’ growing appetite for credible and in-depth journalism.
Earlier this month, KMJS was named National Winner for Best Infotainment Programme at the 2025 Asian Academy Creative Awards for its “Inside the Crocodile Cage” episode. Its “Kidneys for Sale” story was also shortlisted in the Investigative Documentary category at the 2025 AIB Awards in London.
Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho airs Sundays at 8:20 p.m. on GMA 7, with full episodes and extended interviews available on Facebook and the GMA Public Affairs YouTube channel.
