June Cheryl Cabal-Revilla, Chaye to friends and associates, PLDT’s comptroller and first Vice President, has won the TOYM award under the Community Service category for leading PLDT’s Gabay Guro.
Chaye and her team of volunteers want to make sure that the teachers are looked after, believing that education is key to poverty alleviation and national development. “We have been doing PLDT Gabay Guro to try and give back by changing the lives of those who changed ours in God’s grace,” Chaye said.
Apart from providing scholarships and training, PLDT Gabay Guro’s thrust now includes providing livelihood, broadbanding/computerization and housing/education facilities.
They paid tribute to teachers recently at the Mall of Asia Arena via “Pahalipay,” inviting such stars as Cesar Montano, Robin Padilla, Derek Ramsay and Anne Curtis, to cheer up the teachers, particularly those affected by super-typhoon “Yolanda.”
The group also turned over classrooms in Tagbilaran, Loay and Cortes, less than two months after the calamities. “They were all ready for use – complete with blackboards, chairs, electric fans and classroom supplies,” Chaye said. “These were built to withstand 250 kph storms and 7-scale earthquakes. The classrooms we built in Cebu were to withstand the earthquake in October 2013 and the winds of ‘Yolanda’ in November 2013.”
Chaye is taking cue from PLDT’s top honcho, Manny V. Pangilinan. “The weekend after the Bohol earthquake, MVP texted us to do more than just provide relief goods; he wanted us to help rebuild devastated areas in Bohol,” Chaye revealed.
She underscored the importance of teachers in times of tragedies, saying, “They are key to disaster control and recovery. When schools are used as evacuation centers, they are expected to help out in the shepherding of evacuees.”
That the teachers do all these things and yet largely remain unsung heroes moves Chaye.
Asked to paint a picture of the Pinoy teacher, she related, “A happy and fulfilled Pinoy teacher inspires all students to wake up every day excited to go to school and learn. Teaching is more than just imparting technical knowledge; it’s enabling and producing competent and moral students who will become wholistic and passionate Filipinos who will catapult our country to excellence in the future…”

DZBB’s New Programs
Here’s interesting news for radio buffs: Super Radyo DZBB 594 kHz, the flagship AM radio station of GMA Network, has further strengthened its programming with the simultaneous launch of three new programs.
The tandem of Arnold “Igan” Clavio and Ali Sotto is back via “Dobol A Sa Dobol B” every Monday to Friday at 10-11 a.m.
“It is essentially political satire,” explains Ali. “You will see the humor in the situation, which is what the Filipinos are all about – we see the humor, however dire the situation is. It is how we survive.”
The program starts with a funny yet substantive satire segment called “Jeng Jeng,” a musical commentary on the day’s issues with original lyrics written and performed by Clavio, Sotto and Mike Enriquez to the tune of well-known songs.
“Mahilig ako sa political satire. Ayoko ng diretsong banat, gusto ko dinadaan sa jokes. And Ali is a singer so I wanted to maximize that talent,” says Arnold of the segment. “Nag-click siya sa morning, pang-gising sa mga taong nata-traffic. Ang maganda sa ‘Jeng Jeng,’ pati ’yung mga tinitira mo natutuwa.”
Another is “Easy Easy Lang,” which will air from 11-12 noon, Mondays to Friday, as hosted by Susan Enriquez and Lala Roque. It will tackle a variety of health, wellness, and social issues.
“Listeners can expect a wholesome, informative and entertaining show. Lilihis tayo sa mga isyu na nakakabigat sa puso natin. Nakikinig ka at natututo ka, at the same time, nag-e-enjoy ka,” says Susan.
“’Di ba sa panahon ngayon puro bad news, kami naman ’yung good news. Kasi kailangan din natin ng positivity sa pang araw-araw na buhay. Simpleng bagay kaya nating pagusapan ng malaliman. ’Yun ang maaasahan nila sa programa namin,” adds Lala.
“The Long Tall Howard Show” is hosted by pioneering radio personality Howard Medina who will treat listeners with hits from the ’50s, ’60s and ’70s every Monday to Friday from 1-2:30 p.m.
In a statement issued by GMA, DZBB News Operations Manager Norie Temblor said, “The launch of our new programs is just the beginning. There will be more in the next few months. Exciting times indeed for DZBB and for Philippine Radio.”
