Newscasting career

[edit]

Sembrano started with IBC as a newscaster in 1997 when she joined with GMA Network in 1998. She was anchored the late-night weekend edition newscast GMA Network News and the public service show Wish Ko Lang!.[2] After walking out in an episode of Saksi in September 2003, she was suspended by GMA,[2] and was later terminated on December 20, 2003, but she continued to work with Wish Ko Lang! until February 14, 2004. she was later replaced by Vicky Morales as its new program host.[3] She was then wooed by the rival ABS-CBN in 2004 where she hosted the public service show Lukso ng Dugo, an OFW Drama Anthology entitled Nagmamahal, Kapamilya and the morning show Magandang Umaga, Pilipinas. She also served as a correspondent for ABS-CBN's longest investigative journalism show, The Correspondents.

Sembrano was also a co-anchor on TV Patrol Weekend (previously TV Patrol Sabado/Linggo) from 2005 to 2011, a newscaster on the DZMM radio station programs like Radyo Patrol Balita Alas Dose, Gising Pilipinas, and Radyo Patrol Balita Alas Kwatro (alongside Alex Santos), and a host of Salamat Dok, Umagang Kay Ganda, and other ABS-CBN News and Current Affairs programs. She later anchored the morning program Lingkod Kapamilya on DZMM (until 2020) and TeleRadyo until 2023.

On August 3, 2015, she was named the co-anchor of the weeknight edition of TV Patrol, which replaced Korina Sanchez, after a decade of being in the weekend edition of the said newscast. She later left Umagang Kay Ganda on October 2 to focus on her duties as a TV Patrol anchor.[4] When DWPM Radyo 630 was launched on June 30, 2023 as the successor of DZMM on the 630 kHz AM frequency, she began anchoring Tatak: Serbisyo alongside Winnie Cordero, marking her return to AM radio after 3 years. On July 1, 2024, she began anchoring Klinika 630 alongside Dr. Dennis Ngo.

On May 5, 2021, one year after the ABS-CBN shutdown, Sembrano released her second single "Yakap", which she composed and performed.
