Apr 23, 2012 | DZMR, Feature, From Our Stations

With the theme “Pressing On Towards the Goal” (Phil. 3:14), 1143 DZMR Santiago City marked its 1^st anniversary last April 21. More than a hundred listeners from all over the Cagayan Valley and Cordillera Autonomous regions joined the simple celebration. A listener, from Tinoc, Ifugao, travelled almost a day just to celebrate with DZMR and have fellowship with the programmers. Other listeners also shared their respective testimonies of how the station’s broadcasts have ministered to them in the past year.

The Many Voices of Orpheus

Apr 23, 2012 | DZFE, From Our Stations

The next series on OPERAPHILE with Joanna Go (1930) will take listeners to the depths of the earth and of mortal love.

The Many Voices of Orpheus pivots on the mythology’s peerless musician-hero, whose music was so powerful it could take wild beasts and make rocks weep.

The series includes Claudio Monteverdi’s L’Orfeo, Joseph Haydn’s Orfeo ed Euridice, Gluck’s Orphée Et Eurydice (a second take on the opera in on OPERAphile, only this time with a high tenor singing Orpheus), and Offenbach’s irreverent Orphée aux enfers.

The Many Voices of Orpheus debuts on April 28.

Mar 7, 2012 | DZAS, Feature, From Our Stations

“Love Ko, Family Ko” is the theme of the Family Matters Summit of 702 DZAS in Bagong Silangan, Quezon City last February 25. “Family Matters” anchor Haydee Sampang hosted the program which featured Bishop Jonel Milan and Mommy Bessie Rios. Bishop Jonel talked about marriage and Mommy Bessie discussed parenting to the almost 300 parents present.

A young mom (a first-time attendee of this kind of seminar), shared that she’s glad she decided to attend the Family Matters Summit. She works in Paranaque but her kids are in Agusan with her mother. She also said that she will apply what she learned when she spends her vacation there in May. She was also one of the three recipients of the Portable Missionary (PM) radios given away during the event.
