4 unusual facts about Christine Jacob


Christine Jacob

After her contract with TAPE, Inc. (producer of “Eat Bulaga”) expired, Christine hosted its rival, “Magandang Tanghali Bayan”, in ABS-CBN (“Eat Bulaga” is already airing in GMA Network).

After joining athletics, she was requested by her aunt to co-host in “Eat Bulaga” in 1990 (then airing on ABS-CBN) as her aunt knew that Christine’s mother was also a TV host.

She stopped hosting in showbiz in 2001 when she got pregnant with her first child with husband, Francisco "Paco" Sandejas, the brother of Manu Sandejas (Agot Isidro's husband).
