Main article: Charo Santos-Concio

Charo Santos-Concio’s career in television started in her teenage days when she and her sister, Malou Santos, both movie buffs, would watch movies of Nora Aunor and Tirso Cruz III. She has established herself as an award-winning dramatic actress, starting with her haunting performance in the 1976 Asian Film Festival Mike de Leon entry "Itim" where she won Best Actress. She also got the critics’ nod for Lino Brocka’s "Gumapang Ka Sa Lusak" where she also bagged another acting trophy for Best Supporting Actress. She reunited with Mike De Leon in "Kisapmata" and got rave reviews from discriminating critics of the 1981 Directors’ Fortnight in the Cannes Film Festival. While working for Vanguard Films, she was invited to join the newly-opened ABS CBN.

Mrs. Santos-Concio has been credited in creating the station's top-rated programs and even Star Cinema’s box-office successes. She put together the station’s top-rating programs like Esperanza and Pangako Sa 'Yo and her film background proved handy in producing Star Cinema’s box-office hits like "Anak". She is also the brains behind the most successful and longest-running TV drama anthology program Maalaala Mo Kaya, which she also hosts.

Today, Mrs. Santos-Concio is responsible for total channel programming, on-air operations, and the overall revenue and profit delivery of Channel 2, which is the flagship station of ABS-CBN.
