Back home in the Philippines, Ruby Rodriguez had a life that many could only dream of. From 1991 to 2021, she appeared as one of the hosts for “It was planned. It takes years to uproot yourself, you don’t just do that on a whim. I’m not single, if I was single I can do that… but if you’re carrying baggages and you have your family, you can’t do that in a snap. This has been planned for years,” said Rodriguez in a recent episode of, a Filipino-American lifestyle magazine show which airs US-wide on cable channels The Filipino Channel and ANC; as well as on local Southern CA digital channel KNET 25.
After submitting her requirements and taking a test, she received an email informing her that she had been accepted. She went to Los Angeles in December of 2019 for an interview with former Consul General Adelio Cruz, keeping her plans secret to all in her industry except for her best friend, Pauleen Luna.“I said, ‘I didn’t let them know.’ Then he started laughing and I said, ‘Sir, I have to notify my producer formally, they don’t want to be put in a spot if I go AWOL,’” remembers Rodriguez.
“I enjoy what I’m doing because finally whatever I learned I’m using. I’m learning everything new again. This I tell you, my job here, it’s like I’m still in showbiz. Because when I’m in front it’s like, ‘Hi Ruby!’ And then when I brief them on the important things it’s like I’m still entertaining people because that’s the way I speak. The people like it, they laugh. I don’t mean for them to laugh,” said Rodriguez, who also hosts events for the consulate.
