Joni, who succumbed to an auto immune disorder last May at 42 years old, was the wife of former party list congressman Sherwin Tugna, who is now the chairman and president of Zoe. Before her entry to showbiz and politics, Joni was also programming head of Zoe, which Valenciano supported in several capacities.

“The Villanuevas are very close to the Valencianos, “ Valenciano told ABS-CBN News Wednesday in a voice message. “ In fact, the only event that i went to the last six months, aside from ABS-CBN 'ASAP' taping was during the wake of Sherwin Tugna’s wife, our dear sister Mayor Joni. We are all beyond grateful to the Zoe group for opening their network to ABS-CBN. We are grateful to Sherwin and his team for this huge collaboration, in this new endeavor of both parties working together for the glory of God.”
