Christine Sotto Jacob-Sandejas (born April 30, 1967) is a Filipina swimmer, actress, TV host, and newscaster.

Early life

She was born in Manila, Philippines to a German American father George Jacob and a former TV host Rosemarie (née Sotto), and grew up in the United States in her elementary years.

Biography

She and her family returned to the Philippines in 1980s. She joined Southeast Asian Games in Singapore in 1983 where she won a gold medal.[1] Jacob then competed in the swimming competition in the 1984 Summer Olympics.[2]

After joining athletics, she was requested by her aunt to co-host in Eat Bulaga! in 1990 (then airing on ABS-CBN). She became a news caster for PTV while hosting Eat Bulaga!, where she had a short-lived relationship with the main host Vic Sotto (no blood relationship to Jacob's mother). After her contract with APT Entertainment and TAPE Inc. (then-producer of Eat Bulaga!) expired, Jacob hosted its rival, Magandang Tanghali Bayan, in ABS-CBN (Eat Bulaga is already airing in GMA Network until 2023/2024 amid a trademark dispute between the new management of TAPE Inc. and TVJ in which TVJ won their trademark dispute against TAPE Inc. and the show subsequent move to TV5 on January 6, 2024).[3]

She stopped hosting in showbiz in 2001 when she became pregnant with her first child with her husband, Francisco "Paco" Sandejas, the brother of Manu Sandejas (Agot Isidro's ex-husband). After four years, GMA Network gave her her own TV show, Mobile Kusina. This ended in early 2007.

Currently, she working as a journalist of NewsWatch Plus on RPTV (where Eat Bulaga currently airing together with TV5) and its half-sister channel Aliw Channel 23.
