  1. Thank you so much for this entry. These are two of my favorite voices on radio. Is there any way we can nominate Tiya Dely for National Artist or some high honor?

  3. A million thanks for these articles as I am reminded of my younger days. For how can I ever forget the voice of Eddie Ilarde as he uttered: "Marami pong salamat, give my regards to the family, mabalos!" followed by Kahapon Lamang's beautiful theme song (Can someone pleae share with me that beautiful melody. I would love to hear it again and again and again.) And the equally amiable Dely Magpayo as she announces: "Ito ang inyong, Tiya Dely!" (Does anyone have a copy of her program's theme music? Can I please request for it too) Saka naalala pa ba ninyo si Johnny de Leon pagdating ng takipsilim pag tumunog ang batingaw at sinasabi niyang: "Orasyon na naman, ganap na ika-anim ng gabi. Oras ng ating pag-isip, oras ng ating pagdidili-dili. Isipin ang mabuti, ang masama'y iwaksi." Saka sasabayan ng isang guitar music na hanggang ngayon ay hindi ko pa rin alam ang title. (Baka naman meron po sa inyo ang mayroong kopya ng instrumental music na ito, puwede po bang mahingi.) Kung minsan naman, pag sampa ng buwan ng Setyembre ay pinapatugtog din ni Johnny ang awiting Silent Night ni Mahalia Jackson. Ang sarap isipin ang nakaraan!

  5. Hi Sir,

    The title of Kuya Eddie Ilarde's Kahapon lamang
    instrumental music theme song is "Roses"! There's a vocal version in you tube by Sammy Kaye but I can't find the instrumental version they used at the show!
