MANILA (Asia Pacific Report/Pacific
Media Watch): Operating out of a modest three-roomed
rooftop suite overlooking the local marketplace in the
rice-producing Bicol township of Vinzons, a tiny Filipino
community radio startup is quietly making its mark.
Radyo Katabang 107.7FM only began
broadcasting two years ago out of a studio lined with
egg-container acoustic buffers in the Camarines Norte
community in the central Philippines island of Luzon.
But
it has already picked up a national community radio award
for best coverage of current events.
