Cathy Yang

2024 TO REMEMBER 🙏🏼🥹 2024 has been truly eventful — the full ecosystem of Tech, Media and Telco (TMT) coming together for me in quite unexpected ways, deepening and broadening my roles as journalist and corporate citizen. I am immensely grateful for the international recognitions that have come along while straddling both worlds for nearly four and a half years — from Asian TV Awards’ 2023 Best Talk Show Host to Stevie® Gold Award for Technology Excellence 2024 Executive of the Year — Communications Technology. And most recently, as the Asian Academy Creative Awards’ 2024 National Winner (Philippines) for Best Factual Presenter. For 2025, the clarion call comes from Media. With five seasons in — and multiple international awards to boot — Thought Leaders with Cathy Yang turns out to be just the start. Thank you to all my Kapatid at @PLDT Group — I am incredibly privileged to have worked with you all. And to all my Kapatid in Cignal One News, I look forward to the new year creating more content and conversations for our fellow Pinoys — on air, on ground, and online. ❤️ See you all soon! 🤩
