Career

Sembrano started with Intercontinental Broadcasting Corporation as a newscaster before in 1998 moving to GMA Network, Inc. in 2000-2005 where she was the anchor of the first wishing program of the country, Wish Ko Lang. She and GMA had issues with a TV show she is hosting - exposing alleged graft and corruption of a government official, which the network had delayed airing but with certain disclaimer that made her walk-out on an evening news cast. GMA terminated her contract on 20 December 2003 but she continued to worked on for Wish ko Lang until 14 February 2004.[1] She was then wooed by the rival ABS-CBN Broadcasting Corporation in where she hosted the public service show "Lukso ng Dugo", an OFW Drama Anthology entitled Nagmamahal, Kapamilya and the morning show Magandang Umaga Pilipinas and as a correspondent in the ABS-CBN longest investigative journalism show, The Correspondents.

Sembrano is also a co-anchor in "TV Patrol Weekend", a newscaster in the DZMM radio station programs like Radyo Patrol Alas Dose, Gising Pilipinas with Nelson Lubao and currently anchoring Radyo Patrol Alas Kuwatro with Alex Santos when she replaced Jasmin Romero. And other news and public affairs programs of ABS-CBN.

And now, Sembrano was back to Umagang Kay Ganda as main anchor/host with Anthony Taberna after a few months when she left the show together with Rica Peralejo, Ginger Conejero and Bekimon. She replaced Pinky Webb, a former main anchor and host of Umagang Kay Ganda who already left the morning show last August 2011. She remains one of the more visible newscasters, television hosts, and correspondents of the ABS-CBN News and Current Affairs.

Private life

Sembrano owns the B Good Store located inside the ELJ Tower bldg. of ABS-CBN. She was formerly the co-owner and founder of a bookstore specializing in hard-to-find books in Quezon City, Philippines.
