Being a Radio Host in The Edge Radio Davao 104.3 FM?

I have been a radio host in the Philippines from time to time since 1999, when I decided to stay in this wonderful country for good. Being on air has been just for fun. I wasn't thinking about earning a lot of money. I was happy being able sharing music from my private library with people tuning in the stations or following us via live stream.

Since some weeks I got the chance to be back on air. It wasn't just the music i am able sharing with my listeners. I got the chance again (since 2001, while leaving DXGN 89.9 FM The Good News Radio, a member of CMN - Catholic Media Networks) sharing wonderful classical music and some inspirational thoughts, direct from the bottom of my heart.

Now I am back on air. It's 104.3 FM "The Edge Radio Davao", also via live stream www.davao.theedge.ph. 

This radio station belongs to UCB Media Philippines. It is a non-stock, non-profit cooperation that raises up and operates a network of independcent FM radio stations play positive and contemporary Christian music.

The goal is to put up a network of media centers and contemporary Christian radio stations all over the Philippines. Right now, the media center is in Makati City and there are more FM stations in Lucena, Agusan del Sur, Kidapawan, South Cotabato and Pagsanjan. They are getting to rock Dumaguete and Laoag as well.

UCB Media is going around the nation and bring the latest and the best from  urban extreme games and local contemporary Christian music.

 (With my station manager Liza Faye...)

I am honoured  and blessed being part of it.

Again On The Top?

Mindanao Daily Mirror fellow columnist Bert Tesorero commented it very well:

"There are varied reactions among the local residents on the victory of the Filipino boxing icon Manny Pacguiao against his Mexican challenger Juan Marguez in a grudge fight in Las Vegas, Nevada, last Sunday. They feel dismayed or even frustrated that thePacman failed to topple the Mexican pug. Others even think Marguez won the fight just because he stunned the Filipino boxer idol with a couple of staggering power punches during the bout. But the ring judges gave the cards to Pacman and that's it."

Government driver Dodong Salvador of Sandawa Homes in Kidapawan City stated:

"Manny is old. His fist doesn't have strength anymore.  He is no longer the Manny of yesteryears!"

Kidapawan Bishop Romulo dela Cruz said Marguez could have gotten the nod of the judges if he had been more on the offensive. Manny was more like the challenger. We have to admire Marguez for the improvement he has shown. But I like the decision!"
