Why Not Listen To Tiya Dely?


Tiya Dely. It’s the name that has long been known in every Filipino household. Others, upon hearing the name, wonder if she still lives. Only a few know she has two programs aired everyday at DZRH. One program that interests this writer is her 6:30 p.m. program she dubbed as Tiya Dely at 6:30.

The program is about public information. Thus, she makes her program more like a talk show. Tiya Dely would have a doctor, a politician, or a lawyer as a guest and she would ask different questions about medicine, governance, and law that concern a typical Filipino citizen. One could learn a lot from the lady radio veteran as she skillfully pulls out unexpected answers from her respectable guests. Unfortunately, her segment acts as a public relations show when the invited guest is a politician.

When her guest suddenly falls out of his or her serious character, you know why she has become a living legend among Filipino broadcasters. She treats them in an unconventional way, so don’t expect her to be very formal; she’s smart enough to know that too much seriousness would bore the listeners. It’s a fun, interesting, and lively show that gives newfound ideas and often startling facts but public interaction is not encouraged.

Knowledge is what you get from listening to her radio show. From the health hazards of pulling out one’s pangil to the basics of public service - you’ll be glad you learned something interesting and valuable. - EDREE ESTAURA
