Charo Santos-Concio, new ABS-CBN president

Congratulations to Charo Santos-Concio who has just been appointed president of ABS-CBN by Gabby Lopez, the company’s chairman and CEO.

Charo assumes the position formerly held by Freddie M. Garcia, then Cito Alejandro and then (temporarily) by Gabby himself. Charo was formerly EVP and channel head.In its New Year Mga Halu-Halong Hula-Hula last January, Funfare predicted that Charo would be promoted during the first quarter of the year but Charo didn’t believe it then.

Besides FMG (now happily retired), nobody perhaps deserves and is more qualified for the position than Charo who knows the business as she does the lines on her palms. She knows the ins and outs and the secrets of the trade, whether radio, TV or movies.Not many people know that Charo had her OJT (On-the-Job Training) at the ABS-CBN, under the late director Tony Santos, when she was about to graduate from St. Paul’s College (and after her reign as Baron Travel Girl and Miss Green Revolution). Yes, Charo rose from the ranks.Good luck, Charo! [source of news]
