Career
Guanio was born on October 24, 1974.[1] She began her career in entertainment as a lively traffic reporter for CALTEX's RoadWatch in 1999. Guanio caught the attention of travelogue channel Lakbay TV and her career has been on the move ever since.
After Lakbay TV, Guanio was one of the hosts of ABS-CBN's morning show Alas Singko Y Medya. Her biggest career move though was when she transferred from the ABS-CBN to GMA Network in 2004 when she became a regular host of Philippines longest running noontime show Eat Bulaga!, as a segment newscaster in 24 Oras Chika Minute and in a Sunday talk show program S-Files.
Personal life
Guanio was initially involved in a relationship with Vic Sotto, whom she met in 2003. Sotto and Guanio broke up in late 2010. Several months later, Guanio met businessman Steve Mago and tied the knot in 2011. The couple produced two children: Scarlet Janine (b. 2012) and Soleil Brooklyn (b. 2017). Her birth caused her to be on hiatus from Eat Bulaga! and 24 Oras, and officially left the latter in 2015 and was replaced by Iya Arellano.
