The 21-member Community Radio Council (CRC) of Radyo Kalilang in Kalilangan Bukidnon was re-oriented on the Nutriskwela Community Radio Network Program of NNC last March 10 facilitated by NPC Marissa DM. Navales and NOII Sherill Faith B. Pineda. Radyo Kalilang is one of the community radio stations set up by NNC in 2008.
The re-orientation was conducted in an effort to revitalize the Radyo Kalilang CRC as the advisory/consultative group on all matters regarding station direction and programming. The CRC underwent re-organization last year, 50% of which are new members.
The move to revitalize the Radyo Kalilang CRC was fully supported by Mayor Omaradji Pizarro who stayed with the CRC in the whole duration of the re-orientation. Among the challenges and issues to be resolved by the municipal government of Kalilangan and the CRC are: 1) expansion and strengthening of CRC to include representation from other sectoral groups such as farmers, women, students/youth and indigenous peoples; 2) the numerous designations of the Station Manager and the enhancement of station’s programming in terms of program schedule and program content. mdmn
