Netizens Speculate Korina Sanchez to Replace Karla Estrada as “Face 2 Face” Host
KORINA SANCHEZ – Netizens are speculating that the veteran broadcast journalist might replace Karla Estrada as the host of TV5’s “Face 2 Face.”
This rumor started after TV5 hinted at a new host whose name begins with the letter “K.” The teaser, posted on the network’s official Facebook page, asked, “May ‘K’ ka bang harapin ang mga isyu? Kami, MERON NA! Abangan. #KFaceNaTV5” along with an image of a woman’s silhouette with long hair. Many viewers immediately guessed that this mystery person could be Korina Sanchez.
“Face 2 Face” returned on May 1, 2023, due to “insisted public demand.” Amy Perez and Gelli De Belen previously hosted the show. Korina’s name quickly became the top guess since she is a well-known figure in broadcasting, having appeared on multiple networks after leaving her former home network, ABS-CBN.
Karla Estrada’s possible exit from the show might be linked to her political commitments. She recently became more active with the Tingog party-list, where she serves as the Director for Community Engagements, and she is also a nominee for the 2025 midterm elections. These responsibilities could be limiting her time for TV hosting.
The reaction from fans to the idea of Korina taking over has been mostly positive. Many believe her extensive experience as a veteran broadcaster makes her a perfect fit to handle the show’s intense discussions and confrontations. Viewers left comments like, “Korina na ang bagong host ng Face To Face. Exciting. Go congratulations inyo” and “Ay mukhang mas okay kung si Korina nga hehehe.”
However, despite the growing buzz, there has been no official confirmation from Karla Estrada, Korina Sanchez, or TV5 regarding the change in hosts. For now, the future of “Face 2 Face” remains uncertain until an official announcement is made.
