Ginebra San Miguel Inc. (GSMI) officially kicked off the countdown to the new year by unveiling its newest muse. In a romantic, harana-inspired media launch held at the Diamond Hotel Manila, dancer-turned-television host Jackie Gonzaga—affectionately known to millions as “Ate Girl”—was introduced as the 2027 Ginebra San Miguel Calendar Girl.
Carrying the theme Sulyap (Glimpse), the 2027 campaign moves beyond traditional glamour to offer fans an intimate look at the woman behind the bubbly, high-energy persona seen on television every day. Through six distinct calendar layouts, GSMI celebrates Jackie’s individuality, confidence, and unfiltered authenticity.
Who is Jackie Gonzaga? A Quick Look at Her Showbiz Journey
For those who have followed Philippine noontime television over the past decade, Jackie Gonzaga’s rise is the ultimate feel-good story. Entering the entertainment industry in 2015, Jackie started out behind the scenes and in the background as a member of the It’s Showtime dancers.
Her big break came in 2018 during the show’s popular Miss Q & A segment. What began as simple, unscripted banter with Vice Ganda quickly turned into a viral sensation. Dubbed “Ate Girl,” Jackie’s natural charm, quick wit, and endearing sincerity won over the Madlang People almost overnight. Since then, she has seamlessly transitioned from a backup dancer to a regular co-host, actress, and sought-after endorser—proving that staying true to yourself is the ultimate formula for longevity in showbiz.
“It was like fantasy turned into reality,” Jackie shared upon learning she had been tapped for the coveted role. “As any woman would, I view being on the cover of a calendar as very empowering.”
According to GSMI AVP for Marketing Ron Molina, Jackie’s genuine connection with Filipinos made her a natural fit. “Beyond the spotlight is a woman with many other passions, aspirations, and stories worth discovering. She embodies the confidence of a modern Filipina who knows her worth, embraces her uniqueness, and is not afraid to pursue what makes her happy.”
