Other Relevant Information

GMA Network has named Nessa Valdellon as Senior Vice President for Public Affairs, effective January 15, 2025.

Valdellon's leadership was instrumental in shaping GMA Public Affairs into a creative content powerhouse. Diversifying from documentaries and news magazine programs, GMA Public Affairs has also brought audiences soaps, romantic comedies, historical dramas, and even drama anthologies. These include the multi-awarded programs "Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho," "I-Witness," "The Atom Araullo Specials," “Reporter’s Notebook,” "Lolong," and "Black Rider."

Valdellon is also credited with creating the full programming grid for GMA News TV, which launched in 2011. While running the channel, she also co-wrote and produced the award-winning social realist series Bayan Ko and Titser.

In 2018, she won for GMA Network a YouTube innovation grant for the digital newscast ‘Stand For Truth’ – the Network’s pioneering mobile journalism newscast.

Valdellon is also the concurrent Executive Vice President for GMA Pictures, the Network's film-producing arm. Most recently, GMA Pictures achieved back-to-back wins at the Metro Manila Film Festival, with "Green Bones" winning Best Picture in 2024 and "Firefly" in 2023.

Under Valdellon's helm, GMA Pictures has also collaborated with GMA Public Affairs for its first-ever investigative documentary film, "Lost Sabungeros." Released in 2024, the highly controversial film delves into the disappearance of over 30 cockfighters.

A Kapuso for more than 20 years now, she started her work in GMA as Program Manager and pioneered in reality production with programs such as ‘Wish Ko Lang,’ ‘Extra Challenge,’ ‘Imbestigador,’ and ‘Survivor Philippines’ – bringing these to the top of Philippine television ratings.

She has served as a New York Festivals grand jury member for six years and running. Valdellon has also been a juror for the Asian Academy Creative Awards since 2018.

Valdellon is a graduate of Ateneo de Manila University, earning a bachelor's degree in Interdisciplinary Studies focusing on History and Communications.
