Award-winning international news anchor Cathy Yang interviews ABS-CBN executive adviser to the chairman , chief content officer , ABS-CBN University president Charo Santos-Concio on this Thursday ’ s ( March 23 ) edition of “ The Boss ,” on ANC , the ABS- CBN News Channel .
Charo , who is launching her book “ My Journey – The Story of an Unexpected Leader ,” will open up to Cathy about her experiences as a young girl in a small town in Mindoro to becoming one of the Philippines ’ finest actresses , and finally being regarded as one of the most respected female media executives in Asia .
In an article published on ABS-CBN News Online , Cathy shared some quotes from the interview . She shared some of Charo ’ s most cherished values : the value of service , which she learned from her father who worked at a government hospital ; and the value of teamwork , which she has guided her through all her years working in media .
“ It ’ s never about one person . It ’ s never about you . Everything we do is collaborative ,” Charo said .
Charo also explained why she shifted from a thriving on-screen career to TV and film production , and eventually , the management of the country ’ s leading media and entertainment organization .
Asked what has kept her excited even after many years in the business , she said , “ it ’ s the thing of making an idea grow , seeing how from a germ of an idea , it can lead into a story , into a beautiful screenplay and executed into cinema or whatever medium that the story would fall into .”
Cathy also looked into how the former ABS-CBN president dealt during the most trying times for the company and her endeavors after retiring late last year , including a movie comeback that brought her back to the international limelight , and the launch of her own book .
Published by ABS-CBN Publishing , Inc , “ My Journey : The Story of an Unexpected Leader ” spans Santos-Concio ’ s childhood up to her retirement as ABS-CBN ’ s first woman president . The book is available at selected National Bookstore and Powerbooks outlets for P550 .
