MAALAALA MO KAYA, the longest drama anthology on TV is also an award winning drama series comes to life on radio narrated by Ms. Charo Santos-Concio, the President of Abs-Cbn.
Thanks to Mr. Neil Ocampo who paved me the way to meet the Executive Producer of MMK (DZMM), the ever dedicated Mr. JR Antonio. The good thing about Mr. Antonio, he is very supportive and encouraged talent to strive for excellence. He introduced me to Director Josie Galvez.
My first radio script assignment was The Rene Cayetano story. A true-to-life story of the good senator who suffered from life-threatening disease. His son Celino donated his liver to save his father's life. What we learned from Companero Cayetano is not death but the richness of life. Kept fear to himself but showed courage to others. Sa oras na iginupo ng krisis sa kalusugan pamilya pa rin ang tunay na sandigan.
The story of Basket dealt with violation against men.
Maskara was about medical malpractice in cosmetic surgery.
Lata was about child labor.
Salamin was the story of an ugly duckling turned into dignified woman. Nothing is impossible to the man who can will.
Ang Baraha ay istorya ng mga taong inaasa ang kapalaran sa sinasabi ng bituin, ng guhit ng palad, ng hula ng baraha. Isang pekeng manghuhula na pati sarili ay napaniwala na isa nga siyang psychic, clairvoyant.
Ang Takong ay istorya naman ng isang pasaway na ina. Kung puwede nga lang bang paluin ng anak ang kanyang ina ginawa na niya. Ang Dolyar. Ang Kalembang. Ilan lang sa paglalarawan ng tunay na buhay.
Maganda sana ang buhay pero kung minsan ay pinapapangit ito ng mapapait na karanasan.
Sa kabila nang lahat ay pag-asa, hope over fears. Pag-asa laban sa pag-asa.
In radio script, a good story creates substance and engaging character and sustain the interest of an audience or listener. There are three things a listener hear in radio drama: dialogue, music and sound effect. Kailangan siyempre ang clarity of idea. In terms of audio, it creates crisp vivid visuals in the mind of the listener. Timplado ang elements of sounds, music, words, and silence. Music can act as the stage curtain.
When drama plays in radio, the melody was almost regretful in tone, and lyrics is pleading with nature. Ang dialogue, music, sound effect na binibigyan ng buhay ng mga sikat na talento sa radio.
MMK sa DZMM, voiced by veteran radio talents and digitally mixed by skilled engineers, airs weekdays, from 2:00PM to 2:30PM.
