The Return of Halikinu Radio

I have been part of many groups and many barkadas and the one barkada I missed a lot is the group that meets every monday for one common cause - The Ateneo. To make matters even interesting is that this group of volunteers are the people beyond the favorite radio show of every loyal Blue Eagle fan - Halikinu Radio. The show has been on air since 2004 and has guested almost every Blue Eagle from that year until 2007. Last year the show was cut off the air because of various factors beyond its control.

Chris Tiu and Martin Quimson back in 2005

Just recently I got a call from two former PAs of the show who have since graduated and asked the organizers of the show if they can continue the Halikinu Radio tradition. Luckily Ralph Aligada and Trina Alejo supposedly got the rights to air Halikinu Radio and now its back. After two years of hibernating its finally here and its bigger and better. Back in 2007 I remember having to go on air with DLSU die hards Richard del Rosario, Jason Webb, Mr. Magoo and Bobby Yan. That was the last time I served Halikinu Radio and the only time we weren't on air was the time the Blue Eagles captured the title.

The hosts

Its high time for the UAAP season once and the Ateneo Blue Eagles are raring to repeat the 1987-1988 back to back wins. Halikinu Radio will definitely be there to give fresh inputs and stories on the season of the Blue Eagles. This year I will be with new hosts, Rick Olivares, Chuck Araneta, Martin David and Portia Silva. Returnees if they are available are Mico Halili, Gabe Mercado and Lia Cruz. Former Blue Eagle Macky Escalona and Current Blue Eagle Jai Reyes will also be part of the team of Hosts. We hope that this year all of you will plug in to Halikinu! The show is now on its new slot, EVERY THURSDAYS still at 9:00 pm. So for everything Blue Plug in to Halikinu!
