Philippine Showbiz Newscaster Gretchen Fullido | Photos

At present, Filipina Gretchen Fullido is newscaster of the entertainment (showbiz) segment of ABS-CBN's primetime news cast, TV Patrol.



I cannot argue against the station's choice. After all, she went to University of the Philippines - Diliman with a course on Film at Audio Visual Communications. Not only that, she has a voluptuous body with a well-endowed chest in a proportional curvy frame! In below photos, she poses in swimsuit while enjoying the surf, sand and sun in Boracay.




She is a self-confessed dog lover (see her Twitter account: #gretchenfullido) and avid swimmer (she was varsity in college, a member of the UP swimming team). Gretchen was also once part of the cheerleaders of said state university.

She attracted the attention of audiences through the Colgate talent search, "Ang Trip Kita", where she won as first runner-up. Miss Fullido was then recruited as part of ABS-CBN's "Star Magic" pool of talents, where she became a showbiz celebrity as sports newscaster of the ANC news channel, a reporter of the amateur league Philippine Basketball League, host of Dateline Philippines and radio program DZMM Sports Talk.

In video below, she reports (and actually tries!) pole-dancing in a segment for Studio 23. Check out 1:55, she's really athletic.

Filipina television host Bianca Gonzalez | Photos

Born on March 11, 1983 as Bianca Monica Malasmas Gonzalez, our featured Filipina is a television host since 2001. But before her high profile stint in front of the camera, she was a “brainstormer” for the Creative Development Group - a production team of ABS-CBN.


She is a real brainy Pinay, who seem to be tailor-fit for television. She graduated high school from the posh De La Salle Zobel School. Bianca Gonzalez switched camp to rival school Ateneo de Manila University for college, graduating with a degree in AB Communication Arts (ComArts) with a minor degree in Philosophy. 

In photos below, she poses for Esquire Philippines magazine.
