“It’s Showtime” Host Jackie Gonzaga Unveiled as Ginebra San Miguel’s 2027 Calendar Girl
Jackie Gonzaga, one of the hosts and dancers of ABS-CBN’s “It’s Showtime,” has been named Ginebra San Miguel’s Calendar Girl for 2027. She was introduced to the public during a launch event at Diamond Hotel Manila on Thursday night, November 12, Philstar.com reported.
Jackie described the milestone as something she had long imagined. “It’s a fantasy of mine that has become reality,” she said, adding in Filipino that she was happy and touched to be the one chosen, since not everyone is given such an opportunity.
She also framed the recognition as a shared win. “It’s a win not only for me but for those who have been supporting me all these years,” she said, according to Philstar.com.
The campaign is titled “Sulyap,” or “Glimpse,” and features six layouts that aim to show different sides of her personality, Dot Daily Dose noted. The report said the concept goes beyond a traditional calendar shoot and focuses on individuality and self-expression.
At the launch, the six layouts were shown between production numbers, and Jackie promised to be “manggugulat” (full of surprises) and “manlalamon” (a scene-stealer), according to Journal News Online. The same report said she named the layouts for Ginebra San Miguel Premium Gin, Vino Kulafu and Ginebra San Miguel Blue as her top three picks, and that the shoot involved gym workouts and pole dancing, among other themes.
Jackie entered the entertainment industry in 2015, according to Dot Daily Dose, and moved from dancing to television hosting while becoming known for her candid, down-to-earth personality. Philstar.com noted that she is still one of the show’s dancers on “It’s Showtime.”
The Calendar Girl role has long been given to some of the country’s best-known female personalities, and Jackie now joins that list. Beyond the calendar, she told reporters she hopes to try acting soon. “Kahit anong role,” she said, meaning she is open to any role.
For fans of the “Ate Girl” nickname, the new title adds another chapter to a career that began on the dance floor and has now reached a national calendar.
