OFF-THE-AIR

I received more than a hundred text messages on Christmas eve and on Christmas Day. I am posting here a few of them. Some messages were outright funny; others were serious and still others were inspiring. Instead of texting them all to you. let me just share them in this corner.

This Christmas season, may you be showered with girls, or showered by girls, or with girls in a shower …

It’s Christmas! Rejoice, for God is with us Praise and thank God for the everlasting gift of Christmas! Indeed, ‘Man will live forevermore because of Christmas Day!’ A blessed Christmas to you and your family! God Bless!

Maalab na Pasko at Mapagpalayang Bagong Taon po sa inyo at sa inyong mga kasambahay at katoto!

I want too keep three things: the sun, the moon and my friends. The sun for daytime, the moon for nighttime and my friends, for lifetime. Happy holidays, my friend! God bless.

Our merriest Christmas wishes for you and your loved ones. May we all have peace in our hearts as we reflect on the true meaning of the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ.

May you and your family enjoy a meaningful, joyous celebration of the child Jesus! A safe and peaceful night ahead! Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas! May the Lord reward each thoughtful deed you do and hear each prayer you say. May He bless you and your family with His graces all through your life.

Fulfillment doesn’t merely mean achieving your highest dreams in life, but also living a life that has made the lives of others worth living. Merry Christmas!

The Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster ng Pilipinas (KBP) Pangasinan Chapter has recently elected its new set of officers:

To serve for a term of one year as KBP officers are: Gabriel Cardinoza (Aksyon Radyo Pangasinan), chairman; Marvin Modelo (Bombo Radyo), vice chairman; Gemma Cacas (ABS-CBN), secretary; Noel Sibayan (Love Radio), treasurer; Jun Pardo (I-FM), auditor; and Bernie Errasquin (Radyo ng Bayan-Dagupan), standards performance officer.

Cardinoza succeeded outgoing chairman Earl Santos (Energy-FM), who begged off to be reelected.

Santos, who took the reins of the KBP last June, was responsible for the active participation of KBP member stations in the province to the recently concluded KBP Golden Dove Awards. He also saw to it that broadcasters in the province are KBP-accredited by encouraging them to take the accreditation exams last July.

Other members present during the election were: Sheryll Palaganas (MOR/ABS-CBN); Romeo Umipig (Radyo ng Bayan-Tayug); Dolly Ijares (I-FM), (Maricel Bigleto (I-FM); Rusty Roca (Star FM); Reynald Alwin Abaya (DWPR); and Mags Mallow and John Donut (HOT FM).
