QTV-11 Proudly Filipina - The Life and Career of Mel Tiangco - FULL Interview (2008)

Carmela Corro Tiangco (Tagalog pronunciation: [ˈtjaŋkɔ]; born August 10, 1955), professionally known as Mel Tiangco, is a Filipino television newscaster and television host. She is one of the news pillars of GMA News and Public Affairs and a multi-awarded news anchor.
Mel Tiangco was born as Carmela Corro Tiangco on August 10, 1955, in Pilar, Bataan to Arsenio Tiangco, Sr. and Florencia Corro.
After graduating from De La Salle University, she became one of the leading presenters in Philippine television journal programs. She began her television career in September 1981 by working at the government station MBS (now PTV) where she anchored the station's newscast "Newscenter 4", as well as hosting a cultural program titled "Encore". Tiangco worked at the government station until the end of the Marcos regime, where she moved to ABS-CBN and became co-anchor of Balita Ngayon, one of the network's former newscasts. She gained fame by being one of the original anchors of ABS-CBN's flagship newscast TV Patrol from 1987 to 1995. She then transferred to GMA Network and became the anchor of Saksi from 1996 to 1999 and Frontpage: Ulat ni Mel Tiangco from 1999 to 2004. She was also a co-host for talk show Mel & Jay with fellow journalist Jay Sonza, Mel & Joey with comedian-TV host-writer Joey de Leon, and public affairs show Sanib Puwersa with Arnold Clavio. She also hosted Powerhouse from 2011 to 2013 on GMA News TV. Currently, Tiangco co-anchors GMA's flagship newscast, 24 Oras and hosts the weekly drama anthology Magpakailanman.
She is involved in philanthropic work at the GMA Kapuso Foundation, the network's socio-civic arm. Tiangco served as the foundation's Executive Vice President and Chief Operations Officer until April 2016.
She is the mother of Wency Cornejo, a musician best known as the lead vocalist of Philippine rock band AfterImage (active in the 1990s). Her three other children are Ana Teresa, Melanie and Jose Miguel.
Suspension and transfer to another network
On January 16, 1996, ABS-CBN suspended Tiangco for three months without pay as co-anchor of TV Patrol and Mel & Jay (radio program but not the Sunday television show) following her appearance in a television advertisement for Tide in December 1995, allegedly a violation of an earlier-issued circular prohibiting news personalities from doing so without the network's prior approval, which was considered a breach of company rules. Reportedly, this is universally enforced in all print and broadcast meant to avoid any suspicions of bias or favoritism.
She then went on indefinite leave of absence; while Sonza resigned. Both transferred to GMA-7.
