RADIO GAGA

Erle Frayne Argonza y Delago

God’s grace it is those exposures to radio talks
Commencing when I was young man of age 23
In beloved Tuguegarao did I share insights fame
On livelihood to folks across the valley enthused

Living by Manila from 83 and onwards
Did I awash in fame a bit for radio talks
As university mentor and civil society leader
Was I invited to talk in many stations famed
DZRH, DZMM, DZRV, Radio ng Bayan
Roland Simbulan’s hosted program
Mentong Laurel’s nationalist platform
And more to count

Likewise did I visit radio stations in Visayas halls
As teacher leader to share insights on issues’ calls
Radyo Bombo in Bacolod and Iloilo cities
And more to go by counting of my hands

Truly thankful to Almighty for such short fames
Did I love so much to enlighten folks & listeners
Till now I open myself to invitations on radio anew
To discourse on issues like they were beau d’ bamboo

RADIO’S MALAISE

Erle Frayne Argonza y Delago


Radio should be a gentle mentor
whose teachings we take as our own
as we cherish each fact and fable
that it offers us canned lessons;

but Radio is consumed up
by its seeking for money and profits
as every sound that it releases
makes us believe that we are in New York
or London or elsewhere other than Filipinas.
Alien sounds can only nurture best
the filthiest image of our national stature.
