Anchor Cathy YangABS-CBN News Channel (ANC) anchor Cathy Yang was hailed as Best News Presenter at the 24th Asian Television Awards held recently in Manila.

Cited for her work on the ANC business news program “Market Edge with Cathy Yang,” Yang told ABS-CBN News after her win that the award takes her “full circle” as a journalist.

“From being a Kapamilya where I learned all the ropes and then I went abroad from Manila to Tokyo to Hong Kong and back, here I am again. Thank you, ANC, and thank you, Kapamilya, for all the support,” she said.

Yang, in her acceptance speech, talked about the honor of telling the story of Asia’s growing economies from her homeland.

“As a financial journalist I am so proud to be the storyteller of that narrative and to be doing it with my Kapamilya at work and my family at home.”

Yang’s award comes on the heels of her recognition as Best News or Current Affairs Presenter/Anchor at the Asian Academy Creative Awards in Singapore in December 2019. (Story/Photos by: Kane Choa)
