Korina Sanchez-Roxas is announced as the new host of the hit talk show “Face To Face: Harapan,” a spot that Karla Estrada previously held.

Sanchez was confirmed as the host of “Face To Face: Harapan” in a press statement, with the community center-inspired talk show will follow an updated format. However, details on the show’s revamped format are yet to be revealed.

The talk show will air on TV5’s “Hapon Champion” afternoon block starting on November 11.

“While the relaunch is dubbed as the ‘Pinakamala-K na Makeover ng Taon,’ the program is still committed to its mission as a platform for addressing real-life issues and fostering genuine resolutions. With Korina as its new host, the show promises to deliver more heated confrontations, heartfelt resolutions, and a fresh twist on the iconic ‘barangay hall on-air,’” TV5’s statement said.

MQuest Ventures’ Facebook page also announced Sanchez as the new host of the talk show on Monday, October 28, which showed the veteran broadcast journalist walking toward TV5’s office.

“Magkakaharapan na. Ikaw, may mukha ka bang ihaharap (It’s time for a face-off. Do you have the courage to do it)?” she said.

Sanchez replaced Estrada, who served as the talk show’s host from May 2023 to October 2024.

“Face To Face” was originally hosted by Amy Perez, who earned the nickname “Tyang Amy” among viewers, from 2010 to 2012. Gelli de Belen took over her position for a year.
