Cignal CEO named Asia Media Woman of the Year

ContentAsia has named Cignal TV President and CEO Jane Jimenez-Basas as 2017 Asia Media Woman of the Year. The awarding was one of the highlights of ContentAsia Summit 2017 held in Singapore recently. ContentAsia is a premier information resource that covers the entertainment media industry across the Asia-Pacific region.

Janine Stein, editorial director of ContentAsia, said Jane Jimenez-Basas talked about steering Cignal TV in the Philippines “in a space inspired on all levels by regional giants, global streamers and is confident that Cignal could be part of the push towards 35% of subscription-video penetration in the Philippines.”

In her keynote speech, Jimenez-Basas said, “The consumer palate for content is becoming more discerning, not only for the breadth of choice, but also for the relevance of content.”

She views the award as a challenge to Cignal’s stature as an industry innovator. She cited the mentorship and guidance of superiors Manuel V. Pangilinan and Ray C. Espinosa as key in pushing her and her management team to seeking premium Filipino service.

New attraction on ‘ARH’

A new attraction on GMA primetime series “Alyas Robin Hood” is boy Bingo (played by Kenken Nuyad).

The budding actor has thrilled viewers because of his natural and spontaneous acting. The camera loves Kenken for his wit and lively but gentle tone of speaking.

Even the bad guys on the series, KC Montero and Jay Manalo are seen dancing to Kenken’s viral song “Baby Shark!” in a video posted by KC.

Meanwhile Pepe (Dingdong Dantes) has learned that Bingo was with her mom Nanay Judy (Jaclyn Jose) before she was nabbed by unknown characters. Because of this, will Alyas Robin Hood and Yoyo Boy (Ruru Madrid) find it easier now to find her?

“Alyas Robin Hood” airs weeknights after “24 Oras” on GMA Telebabad.
