A native of Dipolog City, Nalzaro has received notable recognitions including Outstanding Public Affairs Program Host, 13th Annual KBP Golden Dove Awards, Garbo Sa Sugbo Awardee, October 12, 2004, and SunStar Cebu’s “23 of Cebu’s Most Influential People”.

DJ Mo Twister, an announcer at Magic 89.9 DWTM Manila, is temporarily leaving from the primetime game show ‘Willing Willie’ as a segment host to attend to health reasons.
Mohan Gumatay, in real life, disclosed on TV5 Monday that his body needs to rest after showing sings of respiratory problems due to the rigorous hosting and announcing schedules he has.
“Kuya Wil kasi parang… Alam mo ‘pag nandito ko super, like, bigay talaga yung energy at yung voice at ‘pag umuuwi na ko sa gabi medyo nawawala na yung boses ko. Tapos may radio show pa ko na 6 AM at may gabi na radio show rin ako pagtapos ng ‘Willing Willie.’
“So parang sa radyo ‘pag paos yung boses mo, ang hirap din ‘no? So humihingi lang ako ng konting break para lang maka-recover na yung lungs ko. Sorry!” Mo explains to Willing Willie (WW) Host Willie Revillame. (quote from http://mb.com.ph/articles/303174/dj-mo-bows-out-willing-willie-now)
Aside from his 6 am morning show on Magic 89.9, DJ Mo is co-hosting Juicy, a celebrity gossip noon time show, and a late night radio podcast show after Willing Willie. He does all of these shows on a daily basis.
WW host Willie Revillame has no qualms with the DJ leaving the show for the moment. Replacement is yet to be announced.
It is pretty normal for radio DJs to be having a lot of jobs, especially because radio’s income not enough. But even for a decently earning DJ Mo, who probably can be likened as the Ryan Seacrest of the Philippines, he, and everyone else still needs rest.
Do you believe DJ Mo Twister’s leave on Willing Willie temporary or permanent?
Along with the announcement of GMA News TV 11, the new news and public affairs channel of GMA Channel 7, Philippines, DZBB also launched its 24-hour streaming at www.gmanews. tv/radio/dzbb Its internet news portal, gmanews. tv has also rebranded to GMA News Online. The announcements were made last night on 24 Oras and News on Q, both news casts by GMA. GMA News TV, will showcase hourly newscasts, prime time public affairs programs and documentaries. The said channel will be the first all-news programming on terrestrial TV. GMA News TV will officially take its place on Channel 11, come February 28, 2011.
Radio stations are now redefining their broadcasts by integrating online streaming of not just audio but video content. The leading AM station DYHP in Cebu is one of those who recently jumped into the bandwagon. Finally, the fans of the station can see the anchors and reports doing the newscasts live.
The daily soaps however are canned productions. So don’t expect to see actors doing live drama on cam.
Cebu City Hall owed P1.7M to 7 Local Media Stations, Mayor Here Decides to Pay. Image from CebuCity.org
Cebu City, Philippines. Finally, 7 radio and TV stations here get paid for unsettled advertisements amounting to 1.7 Million Pesos. The debt was left by previous administration lead by then Mayor Tomas Osmeña.

TV5 a rising TV network in the Philippines is expanding broadcast operations to radio, taking on NewsTalk programming on the FM band. 92.3 NewsFM opened last November 8, a format flip from its predecessor DWFM U92. The claim is ambitious: the first NewsTalk Radio on FM, the catchphrase – “Iwanan mo na ang lumang tunog ng AM Radio”, ditch the old sound of AM Radio (referring to the mono static sound of AM band).
But is this going to work? Are Filipinos ready to listen to news on FM?
Indeed, it is a breath of fresh air for Filipinos to listen to news on FM. It’s not surprising for some however since FM stations have already been carrying hourly news segments on their programs. But a complete newstalk radio on FM is a novel idea.
It will take a lot of marketing however before TV5 captures an audience as huge as those of established AM stations like DZMM and DZRH. People will need to get used to listen to news on FM. TV5 will have to offer the same dynamism, quality content at par with those of major AM news stations. Quality sound does not guarantee a top rating. The leading AM station in Manila right now, DZMM broadcasts at 50,000 watts. 92.3 News FM is only throwing 25,000 watts. News FM may have CD-like quality sound, but DZMM still covers more places.
The establishment of this FM news station may also imply a new category on media awards and recognitions. 92.3 News FM cannot certainly qualify in the category “Best AM Radio Station”, so award-giving bodies will have to come up with a new category – “Best NewsTalk Radio Station”.
92.3 News FM has only been on the air for less than month, so there’s a lot to prove. The answer to the question “will it work” will depend on how the audience will react to the quality of the content News FM produces.

A Concerned Listener Appeals To New Station To Re-consider Programming
It has only been months since the launch of 103.5 Wow FM and they’ve already caused a stir in Manila’s airwaves. Mr. Fu captains the station with his usual funny and witty personality. DJ Laila Chikadora jumped ship from DWRR which shocked everyone. And yes, as expected, they sounded pretty much like every “masa” station brands itself. Some people find the station worth a listen.
But a concerned listener from Metro Manila, sent Wow FM a message and brought her opinion about the station’s approach. The message was sent by someone named Maruja de Vera. We wish there is a way we can contact this person for verification and clearance to re-post her message. But in the internet, we always assume anonymity. And since her post was made publicly available, we decided to quote her below.
What is your vision as a radio station? do you really know the “masa”, what we need and like? how can you reconcile enjoyment, escapism, social relevance and moral upliftment in the lives of the masses, especially the youth, in your programs? How can you market your djs and utilize their potentials without compromising their credibility and respectability? If you can answer that, then you are in top form for the radio competition– just look at where energy fm is now, in so short a time.
1. As a housewife, mother and teacher, I have reservations about recommending your station because you dwell too much on green jokes, “chorvahan”, double meaning words and suggestive sounds. Do you really think the masa is sexually hungry, guided only by sexual instincts and do not want any informative or socially/spiritually/morally relevant issues? For instance, Mr. Fu was much more interesting and helpful when he was a funny adviser in energy fm. Now he is much more preoccupied with senseless things like pronouncing the word lahveet as ridiculously as one can, making animal sounds with the help of his assistant Emily.
2. As a woman, I feel insulted that the talented and kind-hearted dj, Ms Tina Ryan, is being marketed as a seemingly cheap, sex siren. Her introductory spiel says it all. The terms short time, quickie, L na L, pink na upo, they make me cringe, and thankfully, Ms Ryan knows how to control her guests when they get vulgar. By the way, she has many student listeners. They love Tina, and unconsciously they may imbibe and may easily be influenced by the “green-ness” of her guests. I love Tina too, and will follow her to whatever station she will go; however unlike the students, I’m a discerning adult and can take the theme of her show.
3. I think you are in dire need of a program director and consultant — one who has a strong sense of what the masa wants and needs and can balance these with business.
With the increasing popularity of ABS-CBN’s Christmas Station IDs and its official theme songs, listeners are now pouring in radio air play requests of such hits as “Star Ng Pasko” and the new “Ngayong Pasko, Magniningning Ang Pilipino” (2010 Official Theme). The question is can competing radio networks play these songs?
ABS-CBN, the leading TV and radio network in the Philippines is known for its catchy and heartwarming Christmas Station IDs. “Star Ng Pasko” (Star Of Christmas) is among the most popular theme songs. This and other original compositions are produced by the network and performed by its own talents. The songs, although associated with the network, has generic lyrics that convey message of unity, hope, faith, love and family.
It’s definitely an issue of identity. The Christmas Station IDs will be aired hourly on all of ABS-CBN satellite TV and radio stations. And if a competition station plays any of the songs, that would indirectly identify ABS-CBN. And what kind of radio station would want to promote a rival network?
In the end, however, it’s the call of every listener-pleasing radio station whether or not they will play a song that is directly associated with a rival company.
