Cecilia Victoria Oreña-Drilon (born July 8, 1961), better known as Ces Drilon, is a Filipino broadcast journalist. She presented news and public affairs programs for the News and Current Affairs division of ABS-CBN Broadcasting Corporation, which she joined in 1989.
Ces Oreña-Drilon is married to painter Rock Drilon, a nephew of Senate President Franklin Drilon. They have four children: Ory, Miko, Gian and Andre. She graduated from the University of the Philippines Diliman with a Bachelor of Arts degree in communication research.
Ces Oreña-Drilon began her television career in 1985 when she joined the MBS (now PTV) as a news reporter. Her reporting on the capture of Army renegade Col. Gregorio Honasan caught the attention of ABS-CBN Network, which hired her in 1989 to cover the Philippine Senate. Ces appeared regularly on The World Tonight as the program's business correspondent.
Together with Cathy Yap-Yang (now with Bloomberg Television Network), Ces Oreña-Drilon was hosted Usapang Business, a weekly business-oriented show which was soon cancelled due to budget cuts. She later presented several news and current affairs programs for ABS-CBN and for the ABS-CBN News Channel, including Pipol and The Correspondents. Since the 2000s, Oreña-Drilon has served as a co-anchor of the ABS-CBN flagship nightly news programs ABS-CBN Insider and Bandila, and as alternate anchor for TV Patrol.
