Koji Moralez & The RT Ford Fiesta!

06.20.2011 - For years, I've been a radio junkie. Listening to FM radio was part of the daily routine. Those where the days in my youth I wanted to be a radio DJ myself. Back in high school, I usually hang out at the former station in 89.1 DMZ FM, and it's where I first met the late great Francis Magalona aka The Mouth. He had this show every Friday afternoon up to 8PM, and he was definitely great to see spin some music. By the year 1994, I was going to Joe D' Mango's mid-morning show. I became a regular listener on Magic 89.9 FM until 1995. This was around the time I was able to travel and visit the radio stations.

But before going to these radio stations as a young adult, I've been tuned in to Monster Radio RX93.1 FM going back to my grade school years.

I was not familiar with the jocks back then, but I've been an avid listener until I first visited Strata 200 (now Strata 2000). If anyone hasn't known, Collectibles Unlimited and Toy Con co-organizer Cholo Manlillin was actually Mike Gomez, a former radio DJ for RX93.1 FM, and sort of a mentor during those days being part of "students DJs-in-training" going on-air Staturday nights on Radio1.

Though the training I recieved was not from Cholo directly, but from Koji Moralez a former RX jock, who bounced around from Love Radio 90.7 FM, Campus Radio 97.1 DWLS FM, and current jock of Rythmn of the City in 99.5RT FM. You can catch Koji from 10AM to 12PM sort of competing with Jude Rocha and Rico Robles of RX93.1 for that time slot.

I haven't seen Koji since the mid-2000s up until Toy Con recently, which was packed yesterday. Seeing him is like not seeing a familiar face in a long time, and that's how I see him as a big brother. It's refreshing to see my former mentor at the RT booth, where the RT Ford Fiesta is on display for anyone, who would like to have a photo opportunity with their latest mascot.

Its like back to the old RX93.1 FM reunion along with Cholo in a convention filled with pop culture fandom that we have been into as our interest to the hobby.

Definitely you guys should get a chance to see the RT Ford Fiesta, and tune in to Koji Moralez on 99.5RT FM an awesome combination of driver with the Maximum Music Authority!
