Weekly radio program welcomes
the youth (FIN)
MAKATI CITY - 7
July 2013 -- Langit Sa Lupa (Heaven On Earth), is a
weekly Radio Program managed by the FIN SocCom that is aired
every Sunday, 6:00-7:30pm. This broadcasting facility, located
a few minutes away from the FIN Provincial House in Makati, is
owned by the Philippine Daily Inquirer, a leading newspaper of
the country. The newspaper had put up its own radio station in
order to cater to the masses that listen to the AM band. This
radio station, called Radyo Inquirer 990kHz, had approached
the Salesians in the later part of 2010 and offered to them
the possibility to manage an hour and a half slot every
Sunday, dealing with themes related to the Sunday Liturgy.
Thanks to the confreres who had first accepted to realize this
apostolate through the Radyo Inquirer 990kHz, the Salesian
style and the concern for the young had been reaching the
whole Philippines for almost three years. Now, the new SocCom
delegate (FIN), Fr. Bernard “Drans” Nolasco SDB, continues
this service as the main anchor together with co-anchor Miss
Imelda Benitez, a Salesian Cooperator.
Every now and then, the program allows guests or invited
persons of different ages and background to be part of the
program so that it becomes more connected with the ordinary
people. So this Sunday, Fr. Drans and Miss Imelda welcomed a
group of AB Communication Arts students from Adamson
University. Aware that these students are doing a school
requirement, the anchors seized the opportunity to make them
part of this program's Sunday reflection on the Word of God.
The students gamely participated all throughout the program,
spontaneously answering questions and sharing their own
reflections and reactions to the anchors' inputs.
