After raising her family, Sansu hosted her own variety TV show, the Sansu Show, a weekly variety talk show featuring inspirational, talented and successful Global Pinoys. Sansu had always envisioned that “a little bit of comedy, some singing and dancing, my uniquely-hearty laughter, and her Bisaya- accented English with English sub-titles” would bridge the gap between young and old, communities of color, and lifestyles.
