If you told me years ago that I would one day become a radio host, I probably would have laughed. Media was never part of my plan, nor did I ever imagine myself sitting in front of a microphone with thousands of listeners tuned in. But life has its surprises—and mine came during the pandemic.
It all began suddenly, without much preparation. When I was first invited to try hosting on DZME 1530, I honestly thought I couldn’t do it. I had no background in broadcasting, and the idea of “spilling” live on-air made me nervous. My voice trembled, my hands shook, and I kept asking myself: What if I mess up? What if people don’t like how I sound?
But here’s the beautiful part—once I started, I realized I could. The fear slowly turned into excitement, and every episode became an opportunity to grow. Radio gave me something priceless: it boosted my self-confidence and sharpened my public speaking skills. Today, those moments behind the mic remain one of the skills I’m most grateful for learning and continuously improving.

Through the show, I also found a meaningful way to honor and highlight my fellow veterinarians.
I featured colleagues from the industry, giving them a platform to share their stories, struggles, and triumphs. Among them were respected figures like Dr. Robert Lo, Dr. Elizardo V. Reyes, and Dr. Edgardo Unson. Each conversation wasn’t just an interview—it was a learning session for me, filled with wisdom and inspiration.
Looking back, I still can’t fully believe how I ended up in media. But I know one thing: stepping into radio was a turning point. It wasn’t just about broadcasting—it was about finding my voice, building confidence, and connecting with others in ways I never thought possible.

For that, I will always be thankful. Thank you, DZME 1530, for giving me this chance. Special thanks as well to Sir Ed Sarto, Hazel Sarto, and Congressman Prospero Pichay for their support. And of course, to my co-host DJ Josa, who made the journey lighter and more enjoyable—I am truly grateful.
