SuroyPH Drone Shots Featured on GMA’s Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho
Showcasing Cebu from the Skies
Suroy.ph drone footage of southern Cebu was used in a segment of GMA’s Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho (KMJS), “Sino ba itong viral poging konduktor ng Cebu?” This post was first published on 12 March 2025, after the segment aired.
Bringing Cebu to a National Audience
KMJS is one of the most-watched and respected documentary shows in the Philippines, telling compelling human-interest stories that resonate across the nation. In this particular episode, the spotlight was on a charming and hardworking Cebuano bus conductor who went viral for his good looks and dedication to his job. But beyond the viral fame, the segment also highlighted the bustling streets and scenic routes of Cebu, a perfect backdrop for this feel-good story.
That’s where our drone footage came in. As the story unfolded, aerial shots of Cebu’s roads, urban landscapes, and scenic routes helped set the scene, giving viewers a more immersive experience. The frames gave a national audience the south coast from above.

The Power of Aerial Storytelling
Drone videography has transformed the way we tell stories. In just a few seconds, an aerial shot can capture:
• The pulse of a city : showing Cebu’s transport routes and daily hustle from a bird’s-eye view.
• The beauty of nature and infrastructure : showcasing a contrast of urban landscapes and coastal views.
• The movement of life : giving a dynamic feel to the narrative, making viewers feel like they’re soaring through the scene.
The aim has always been to capture the essence of Cebu: its coast, its streets and the everyday lives of its people. Having that footage carry part of a story on KMJS, one of the most watched programs in the country, is a milestone for a Cebu publication.
