ABS-CBN Corporation has appointed former ABS-CBN president and CEO,  Charo Santos-Concio, to its board of directors. She replaces Augusto Almeda-Lopez, who died earlier this year. 

The appointment tops decades of involvement with ABS-CBN, initially as one of the country’s most powerful broadcasters and then, when its franchise was not renewed, in its new incarnation as a content company.   

In addition to her long career as an actress and entertainment personality, Santos-Concio held a number of senior roles at ABS-CBN, including chief content officer and head of Channel 2 Mega Manila management. 

She was also the host of the Philippines longest-running TV drama anthology programme, "Maalaala Mo Kaya".

In 2014, she was named ContentAsia’s Asia Media Woman of the Year.
