Korina Maria Sanchez-Roxas (born 5 October 1964), known professionally as Korina Sanchez, is a Hong Kong-born Filipino broadcast journalist, television news anchor, senior field correspondent, magazine show host, radio anchor and newspaper columnist. She is currently Chief Correspondent for the Integrated News and Current Affairs Division of ABS-CBN ABS-CBN Corporation airing on TV Channel 2, AM Radio DZMM and cable TV ABS-CBN News Channel. She also has regular column in The Philippine Star entitled That Does It, as well as a Tagalog column entitled K Ka Lang in its sister newspaper, Pilipino Star Ngayon. She is the wife of Mar Roxas, the former Secretary of the Department of Interior and Local Government.
Korina attended St. Theresa's College in Quezon City for her elementary and secondary education, and then Maryknoll College, where she earned a bachelor's degree in Communication Arts. Sanchez also attended Ateneo De Manila where she graduated with a master's degree in Journalism on 26 June 2016. Her first love was writing, but she was also active in extra-curriculars like singing, theater, public speaking and high school varsity volleyball. In college, Korina excelled in courses related to creative writing, thesis writing and speech. Already working at the time, she was a two-time awardee for scholarship of the United States Embassy's Thomas Jefferson study grant for Investigative Journalism which brought her to several colleges and universities in the U.S. for post graduate short courses. She completed a third-level French language course at the Makati-based Alliance Française de Manille. Sanchez had inclinations towards the performing arts but believed her "calling had always been in the field of information and communication" and maintains that, before being an on-camera personality, she is "first, a writer".
