GING REYES: A LEGACY OF EXCELLENCE AND SERVICE
ABS-CBN recently announced the retirement of Integrated News and Current Affairs head Regina “Ging” Reyes after 36 years of dedicated service and excellence in the field of broadcast journalism, including 12 years as news chief of one of the country’s leading media companies. Reyes successfully transformed ABS -CBN News into a fully integrated news organization that delivered news and public service to Filipinos worldwide across different platforms even during the pandemic. She was hailed as the 2022 Southeast Asia Laureate for Women in News Editorial Leadership by the World Association of News Publishers (WAN-IFRA) in Spain last September for her editorial integrity and outstanding leadership.
During her tenure, ABS-CBN News won numerous awards including the Cannes Corporate Media and TV Awards, Society of Publishers in Asia, and the US International Film and Video Festival Awards.
She was in the advisory board of the New York Festivals World’s Best TV and Film Awards.
Reyes leaves a legacy of excellence and service, which began when she joined ABS-CBN as a production assistant in 1986. She rose from the ranks to become executive producer and head writer of the award -winning “The World Tonight” and other special events, before getting promoted as director for news production.
Prior to her appointment as news chief in 2010, Reyes led the expansion of ABS-CBN News’ operations in the US and Canada as North America news bureau chief for eight years. She was named by the Filipina Women’s Network as one of the 100 Most Influential Filipino Women in the US.
