March 24, 2022: Sibalom, Antique--- Ms. Sheryl Sedantes, Nutrition Officer III and Ms. Romela Dee Candoliza, Nutrition Officer I, conducted an on-site monitoring visit at Nutriskwela Community Radio Station in Sibalom, Antique. The said community radio station was established by the National Nutrition Council in collaboration with the Municipality of Sibalom in 2017 with the assistance and support of then-Mayor Joel Occena and MNAO Dr. Eleanor Jornada.
Ms. Sedantes and Ms. Candoliza met with the new Asst. Station Manager Camille Erica Raymundo, Program Assistant Jann Mari D. Margallo and Mr. Keinth Albert O. Barrientos, Operation Assistant. They talked about Radyo Kaabyanan's latest upgrades and enhancements, such as the newly bought headphones, new mixer, podmics, compressor limiter and the NTC recommendation in making the transmitter room cooler and turn the wood table into steel. They also shared the good news of upcoming collaboration with Department of Agriculture Region VI on its School-on-Air program.
The Team congratulated the current Mayor, Hon. Gian Carlo Occena for his unwavering commitment to the station. For the time being, the Radio Station's coverage has extended not just in adjacent municipalities, but also in other LGUs that are relatively far away from the municipality and also to the different parts of the world due to the evolution of technology. This only proves that a Community Radio Station dedicated to nutrition is an effective and efficient platform for reaching out to individuals in the community, particularly in remote locations.
