He showcased another side of him to the public.
Last Tuesday, March 17, Gian Bernardino, vocalist of the original Filipino music (OPM) band Cup of Joe, visited the ABS-CBN newsroom for the afternoon newscast TV Patrol Express.
During which, he appeared as the guest celebrity Star Patroller for the 15-minute bulletin, where he promoted the band’s upcoming Sandali concert at the Philippine Sports Stadium in Bulacan this May.
Meanwhile, when he was asked about their highly-successful single Multo, the singer shared, “Sobrang unexpected kasi we just released the song dahil it’s a reflection of what we’ve been through sa mga buhay namin.”
“Nagulat na lang din kami na naging most streamed OPM [song na] siya sa Spotify.” he added.
Following his appearance, he earned praise from netizens for his newsreading ability. Not much of a surprise, as in a tweet in February 2025, he sjared with Joewahs that he had been a part of his school’s broadcasting team back in senior high school.
That was also seen by people at the Kapamilya newsroom, as on the following day, March 18, he returned and “got promoted on his first day” as he was tapped to do the same role for the flagship newscast TV Patrol.
A few days prior to his stint in both newscasts, Gian, together with the rest of Cup of Joe, represented the Philippines alongside P-pop groups SB19 and BGYO at the D.U.N.K Showcase in Japan that ran from March 13 to 15 in Yokohama.
