charlie brown . dzrj s radio personalities the bossmen then the rockjocks became celebrities in manila s counterculture . pinoy rock n rhythm edit the daily pinoy rock n rhythm radio show which was

cola s then coo cesare syjuco . more than 200 new songs were said to have been recorded for the pinoy rock n rhythm show and these entries were aired in succession through many weeks as the

. sometime between 1979 and 1980 dzrj am moved to the current frequency of 810 khz in response to the frequency adjustments owing to the adoption of the current 9 khz spacing on am radio stations in

opened with former president ram n magsaysay s political jingle mambo magsaysay composed by ra l manglapus because it was also the theme music of the disabled radio veritas and thus enabled keithley to clandestinely identify herself to listening protesters . for her role in providing both information and morale to protesters during the revolution keithley was awarded the medal of the legion of honor by president cory aquino after the fall of the marcos regime . to honour the station s key role in the 1986 revolution dzrj am was officially rebranded radyo bandido and switching to a public
