Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho (KMJS) remained the Philippines’ most-watched television program in 2025, continuing its two-decade tradition of delivering stories that connect with viewers.
Nielsen TV Audience Measurement data showed KMJS recorded a combined GMA and GTV people rating of 12.8 percent nationwide and 14.4 percent in urban areas from January to December, maintaining its position as the top program for the second consecutive year.
The Sunday night news magazine strengthened its focus on investigative reporting, tackling community issues, corruption, and public service stories. Despite the trend of audiences favoring lighter entertainment, viewers tuned in consistently, driving strong ratings and engagement on digital platforms.
KMJS expanded its online reach in 2025, recording 4.7 billion views across Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube, and building a social media following of over 45 million. Its most-watched segment, the 16-part Katakot takot na Kurakot series on alleged corruption and anomalous government projects, drew more than 90 million views online.
Jessica Soho, marking her 40th year in broadcasting, led major field reports, including coverage of earthquakes in Cebu and Davao, typhoon devastation, mining conflicts in Rizal and Palawan, and shoreline erosion in Zambales. Extended interviews from the investigative series were adapted into the KMJS Podcast, where long-form conversations drew strong listener engagement.
“So many thanks to our loyal viewers and followers,” Soho said. “2025 was KMJS’ 20th and most challenging year. We would not have made it without your support.”
Soho’s influence extended beyond television. She spoke at academic and leadership events such as the National Schools Press Conference, the Global Youth Summit, and served as commencement speaker at the University of the Philippines Diliman. She was also recognized in 2025 and 2026 by PeopleAsia, Tatler Asia, and inducted into the Rolling Stone Hall of Fame.
“Stories have the power to inspire, change lives, and shine a light on issues our people need to know,” Soho added.
KMJS airs Sundays at 8:20 p.m. on GMA 7, with full episodes and extended interviews available on its Facebook page and GMA Public Affairs YouTube channel.
