Barili, Cebu – From fishing to broadcasting, from farming to broadcasting -- until March 12, 2013, all that fishermen in Barili knew is to haul their nets and fishing rods. Likewise all that the farmers in Barili knew was to cultivate furrowed soil and all that municipal employees knew was to handle clerical jobs. Last March 10 to 12, 2013, thirty men and women completed the Hands-On Training on Community Radio Broadcasting for the Nutriskwela Community Radio Network Program. The training was held at the Cebu Technological University - Barili Campus in Barili, Cebu.
Among those who participated were representatives from the youth, senior citizens, women’s, farmers, fisherfolks, municipal employees and representatives from Cebu Technological University – Barili Campus.

Barili, Cebu –In fighting the giants of indulgence-driven advertisements, DYNE 97.5 Radyo Kahimsog held its inaugural broadcast last March 12, 2013 at the Cebu Technological University (CTU) – Barili Campus. The second only in Region VII, Radyo Kahimsog is especially dedicated to airing nutrition related issues.
The nutrition-themed radio stations put a pivotal milestone in aggressively imbibing proper nutrition, healthy lifestyle and regulated eating. In an advertisement-driven world that promotes food indulgence, the nutrition-themed radio stations make direct confrontations with multi-million budgeted advertisements of fastfood chains that encourage cholesterol building, junk food that promote eating trash for the body and infant formula that tends to compromise breastfeeding.
