RADYO5 Launches New Look with 92.3 TRUE FM

Spent the afternoon at Quezon City Circle for the launch of 92.3 RADYO5 TRUE FM as they roll out programs for the only news station on FM frequency. Their tagline is "Dito tayo sa totoo!", and we all got to see hosts of the several show which will comprise the programming schedule of the rebranded station.

Present during the occasion was Mon Gualvez, Ted Failon, DJ Chacha, Lourd de Veyra, Danton Remoto, Dr. Love Bro. Jun Banaag, Dr. Edinell of Healing Galing. Broadcaster Cheryl Cosym, Balita Pilipinas hosts, and several more personalities involved in the station. TRUE FM wants to provide entertainment, music, true news and public service to all corners of the Philippines. This is the first two in one station in the country, and they are putting that into good news.

Ms. Cherry Bayle says "As you all know we had a Radyo5 liner saying you have to leave the usual, that's why we did public service on FM and news too. We changed the lineup of programs and did a lot of things people can experience on the station. We came up with TRUE FM, truth in journalism, relatable stories, unwavering public service and entertainment."

 We also talked to Dra. Edinell of Healing Galing which will be back after a 2 year hiatus

In the morning Mon Gualves will do Bangon Bayan, Ted Failon and DJ Chacha will do a self named show for commentaries. Ted adds "I hope there will be more mobile journalists, we need to have citizen journalists that can do it right. Pam and Julie will be doing it on our show, like feature stories, political ones, and true news."

As for showbiz talk, there was a part where the title Queen of FM was being pitted with DJ Chacha and Laila Chikadora, and they cleared things during the press conference

 

Also, Senator Raffy Tulfo was phone patched as he was still traveling from a different province when the press conference happened. He told us why he wouldn't be stopping radio anytime soon.

There are still a LOT of things to look forward to now that they've changed their radio station's name and direction. They continue to become different, and will be making change in bringing what the TRUE people need to hear on radio, TV and online. Congratulations on the launch of 92.3 RADYO5 TRUE FM!

New People, New Programs at Radyo5

Looks like programming will become a little different this 2023 for Radyo5 92.3FM as they launch new shows and put some of the top broadcasters in the industry on their frequency. True to their tagline of "Ito na ang totoong tunog ng Serbisyo Publiko!" much of the changes they'll be having is the addition of public service centric shows that would cater to different folks which would make sense once you hear their names.

I've been listening to Dr. Love aka Brother Jun Banaag in his previous radio station. Let's just say he starts his program in the evening up to the wee hours of the morning so you have someone to accompany you do your work. He gets the 10 to 12am slot every Friday and talks more about family life, relationships and deep faith hence his moniker Dr. Love. Aside from that, his voice is of legends and very deep which I think is really cool to hear.

Aside from him, the new show Bangon Bayan will be ON on weekdays 4 to 6am hosted by Mon Gualvez. If you miss Cheryl Cosim, she's in the late afternoon show Sagot Kita! which will be from 4 to 5pm to tackle current events and public service. Your favorite FM DJ Laila Chikador on the other hand will be hosting Good Vibes together with financial guru Stanley Chi. This will be on prime time at 6:30 to 8pm. For a bit more help for the Filipino people, there's Pinoy Konek hosted by LGBTQIA stalwart Danton Remoto which will be doing legal, OFW affairs and public service talk from 9 to 10pm.

This has been a welcome addition to the RADYO5 hit shows of Ted Failon and DJ ChaCha, the entertainment show Cristy Ferminute hosted by Cristy Fermin  and also Wanted sa Radyo with your idol Sen. Raffy Tulfo. This is just the start of the year and there's a lot to look forward to on RADYO5, make sure you follow them on their social channels as they update you with even more changes in the coming days.

Congratulations Radyo5!

Papa Obet Releases Second Christmas Single "REGALO"

Looks like Papa Obet is going to make Christmas even sweeter as he launches his second single, a timely one at that called REGALO.

Papa Obet says "It's not just every Christmas but I've always wanted to do songs and record them but it's just too difficult when the pandemic hits. For me, it's magical to do Christmas songs, to listen to them, it just sets you into the mood no matter what day it is. I base the songs from different artists, I get inspired from them as I've been always a classic guy. It's just attacked in different words and lyrics, plus the music arrangement is now going to be Gen Z like. It's going to be different. I initially made this with the chorus first, and said to myself that if ever I needed to make a whole song, I'll have this in hand. It's for a loved one, for those who are at work, for those who cannot celebrate Christmas at home with their families. My favorite line is "Sana ngayong Pasko, kahit wala akong regalo magkasama naman sana tayo!" (I wish this Christmas even if I don't have a gift, we'd be together!)."

He adds "If ever people want to give me gifts, I only ask for toys. It's what makes me happy, I hope I could have those that I don't have in my collection yet. I grew up not having any when I was a kid and now that I'm earning a bit, I would want to have vintage ones and re-issues, I feel it's very fulfilling to have that. I wish I would have time to go to Toy conferences but I just have no time since I have full time work. I wish to have toy hunts also abroad soon, that's on my wishlist. Aside from that, I'd want a house and lot, a home for me, my family, my parents so that I could give them comfort now that they're on their senior years."

 

Here's our interview with him this afternoon:
