In 1997, Sison's first job was being a field reporter at Studio 23, ABS-CBN's sister network owned by ABS-CBN Corporation,[1] and SNN (later rebranded as ANC).[2] ABS-CBN promoted her after 8 months and she became a reporter for hard news in TV Patrol.[1] Later on, Sison became an anchor of La Niña Watch, a program that focused on climate change, and she was also included in Hoy Gising!, ABS-CBN's public service show.[1]

In 2001, Sison was included in ABS-CBN's morning program Alas Singko Y Medya[3] as one of the show's hosts. Sison also hosted a reality television program called Kakasa Ka Ba? that she co-hosted with JV Villar.[4] In 2006, she exited ABS-CBN through a retirement package.[1] Sison moved to RPN 9 in the same year while awaiting for her non-compete clause to end.[1] The only considered rival network of ABS-CBN at that time was GMA Network.[1] Sison anchored evening newscast NewsWatch Aksyon Balita with Erwin Tulfo and Aljo Bendijo as their co-anchors for a year.[5]

In 2007, as soon as her non-compete clause contract ended in ABS-CBN, Sison continued her career in GMA Network.[1] She was entrust to do several news and current affairs shows in GMA's main channel and its secondary network, Q Channel 11, which was later rebranded as GMA News TV. Among those shows were DoQmentaries (a monthly documentary program),[6] News on Q,[7] On Call: Siksik Sa Impormasyon. Bilis na Pag-Aksyon,[8] and Balitanghali (a daily noon newscast on GMA News TV which she co-hosted with Raffy Tima).[9] In GMA's main channel, she is one of the hosts of the morning program Unang Hirit.[10] She also hosts the medical-focused show Pinoy M.D.,[11] which got a radio version in DZBB (GMA's flagship radio station) and officially titled as Pinoy M.D. sa Dobol B.[12]

In 2018, she is the very first recipient of the Bantog award for Media Practitioner in Television given by Department of Science and Technology as a result of her hosting of Pinoy M.D.[13] She was also rewarded with a P 100,000 cash, which she opted to give to the Kapuso Foundation as a donation.[13] In 2020, her professionalism in her work was tested when she interviewed Senator Richard Gordon and she was unpleasantly interrupted by Gordon in the midst of the interview.[14] Despite the situation, Sison remained calm and some netizens condemned Gordon's actions as being rude and lauded Sison's composure.[15]
