"If what you have done is all you could – The Best, Then be content and leave to God the rest. Things fluctuate, nor joy nor sorrow stays; Oft changing scenes and changing moods amaze; But he who learns that in all things there’s good, That passing failures are but strengthening food, Will climb the hill, though his defeats confess, And push his way through all to sweet success"
Dr. Rene Reynold Villanueva CBE.

“Rene always struck me from day one as a person totally
committed to the business of radio and broadcasting, somebody who had fallen in love with this kind of occupation, if you like. He is very good at what he does and only he can do it the way he does it. ”

“I attribute a lot of my growth to Chief. When I started here, I was 18, emotional, green, you know, and he taught me a lot of the things I know today. When I became a Manager, I didn’t know anything about management. Chief pulled me aside a lot of times and taught me, showed me how to handle situations.”
