Jannelle So

Jannelle has been working in the entertainment industry for nearly two decades — jumpstarting her career as a sportscaster in the Philippines before moving to the US.

In 2006, she was given the opportunity to create, produce and host Kababayan LA / Today, the first and only locally-produced daily talk show for Filipinos in the USA. Regarded as a pioneer in Filipino-American media, it successfully ran for eight and a half years, the longest-running daily Filipino talk show outside of the Philippines, before leaving the show in 2014 to start a family.

After 3 years, Jannelle is once again back on TV with a weekly talk/magazine show called SoJannelleTV with its mission to highlight stories of immigration and representation to entertain and inspire. The show features diverse guests from various backgrounds – artists, performers, celebrities, public officials, entrepreneurs, and global Filipinos with extraordinary stories. Previous guests include Jo Koy, Apl.de.Ap, Blues Clues & You’s Josh Dela Cruz, Miss Nevada USA 2021 Kataluna Enriquez, Filipino boy band SB19, and loveteam Donny Pangilinan and Belle Mariano, and more.

Jannelle and the show received numerous accolades, such as:

Honorable Mention - The Los Angeles Press Club (53rd Annual Southern CA Journalism Awards)

Outstanding Community Reporting - New America Media 
Supreme Hero Recognition & City Proclamation - City of Carson, CA USA
100 Most Influential Filipinas in the U.S. - Filipina Women’s Network
TOFA Awardee in Media & Publishing -The Outstanding Filipinos in America (8th Annual Awards) 
Achievement Award - LA Filipino Association of County Employees
Bayanihan Spirit Award - Historic Filipinotown Council, Los Angeles, CA
