"Hindi pala baha ang magpapalubog sa ating bayan, kundi kasakiman."

This powerful line by multi-awarded broadcast journalist Jessica Soho, from the Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho (KMJS) special series 'Katakot-Takot na Kurakot,' has recently gone viral, capturing the nation's growing outrage against corruption.

Viewers praised the series for its depth, courage, and clarity, saying it helped them better understand corruption and its real-world impact. Some even credited the Kurakot reports for fueling awareness that led to the recent “Trillion People March.”

The investigative special, which delved into the large-scale corruption and anomalous government projects, has already generated over 92.4 million total views across Facebook, YouTube, and TikTok, with its first episode alone surpassing 14 million views on YouTube. Since its TV premiere on August 24, it has become the most-watched KMJS segment online this year, sparking massive conversations about good governance and public accountability.

Beyond television, KMJS is a digital powerhouse. The Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho (KMJS) Podcast has already positioned itself as one of the fastest-growing digital current affairs programs in the Philippines.

In just over a month since its launch, the podcast racked up more than 105 million views across all platforms: hitting 68.3 million views on Facebook, 21.6 million on TikTok, and 14.8 million on YouTube - clearly reflecting the public's growing demand for credible and in-depth journalism.

Available on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple podcasts, the KMJS Podcast features the full interviews of multi-awarded broadcast journalist Jessica Soho with prominent newsmakers whose conversations are only partially seen on television. This gives audiences the chance to listen to the complete exchanges and deeper discussions on national issues.

Among those featured so far are Baguio City Mayor Benjamin Magalong, Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto, Senator Panfilo Lacson, DPWH Secretary Vince Dizon, Representative Kiko Barzaga, former Finance Undersecretary Cielo Magno, and former Commission on Audit Commissioner Heidi Mendoza. Excerpts from these interviews have gone viral, with netizens praising Soho's calm yet incisive questioning style that draws out compelling insights and accountability from her guests.

The overwhelming response to the KMJS Podcast and 'Katakot-Takot na Kurakot' series proves that storytelling remains a powerful force for accountability and reform. Through fearless conversations and incisive reporting, Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho continues to move Filipinos to reflect, engage, and demand change - across all platforms.

Earlier this month, KMJS won as National Winner for Best Infotainment Programme at the 2025 Asian Academy Creative Awards for its “Inside the Crocodile Cage,” while its "Kidneys for Sale" episode was shortlisted in the Investigative Documentary category at the 2025 AIB Awards in London.
