Iya replaces Pia Guanio who left the show after 11 years

MANILA, Philippines – It’s official. Iya Villania is the new host of 24 Oras’ Chika Minute segment.

According to a report from GMA News, the announcement was made today, June 11 at a press conference. Iya will replace Pia Guanio, who bowed out of the news program after 11 years.

According to the same report, 24 Oras program manager John Ray Arrabe said that Iya fits the person they are looking for the program. 

“We went out to look for somebody na wala sa mold ni Pia para iba na ‘yung direction ng Chika Minute. Nahanap nga namin (We found) is somebody fun, somebody active, somebody na different para magkaroon ng ibang (so there is a different) spin ang Chika Minute and we found it in Iya,” he said.

Iya said she is very happy about her new role.
