Christine Sotto Jacob-Sandejas (born April 30, 1967) known professionally as Christine Jacob, 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

Her parents are the ones behind her swimming talent. She and her family returned to the Philippines in 1980s and she joined Southeast Asian Games in Singapore in 1983, and then competed in the swimming competition in the 1984 Summer Olympics. After joining athletics, she was requested by her aunt to co-host in Eat Bulaga! in 1990 (then airing on ABS-CBN) as her aunt knew that Christine's mother was also a TV host. She became a news caster for PTV while hosting Eat Bulaga!, where she had a short-lived relationship with the main host Mr. Vic Sotto (no blood relationship to Christine's mother). After her contract with APT Entertainment and TAPE Inc. (producer of Eat Bulaga!) expired, Christine hosted its rival, Magandang Tanghali Bayan, in ABS-CBN (Eat Bulaga is already airing in GMA Network). She stopped hosting in showbiz in 2001 when she got pregnant with her first child with husband, Francisco "Paco" Sandejas, the brother of Manu Sandejas (Agot Isidro's husband). After 4 years, GMA Network gave her her very own TV show Mobile Kusina as GMA knew that she came from the longest-running noontime show Eat Bulaga! which GMA co-produces. This show ended in early 2007.

gollark: If you force the price to be fixed low, you just get a shortage where the quantity actually sold is below the quantity demanded.

gollark: No, markets in the economicsy sense.

gollark: Limiting purchase numbers seems like a bad hack to prevent the market from working properly but at least make some people vaguely happy since they're paying the normal price.

gollark: … also, what if someone wants to buy an entire set of computer parts in order to, say, build a computer?

gollark: That's not very libertarian of you.
