Growing and moving forward is a difficult journey for anybody, in whatever aspect of life. No one
is exempted from the test of life’s sailing. Reaching the fifth year for Canadian Pinoy Radio-Montreal
serving here in the heart of the city, isn’t excluded from negativities yet, optimism outlook of our
supporters conquered it all. Looking forward and letting go, is the best choice to counter all the
hindrances that tried to block our way. KINDNESS championed it all among the virtues of our supporter
who surrounded the radio. Provision in terms of financial, material, time and effort sustained the
strength to go on. Music is the common ground that connected people. Slowly and simply with all our
ability and capacity, we continue moving to realized our aim. Move forward for our advocacy and be a
partner for change even in the least we have and we can to make this planet a lovable and peaceful place to
live.
Increasing followers in various social media motivated CPRM to move forward and
enthusiastically caters to requests and queries of our listeners specially to migrants and OFW’s that move
from one place to another. Our advocacy of preserving one’s culture thru music, playing the song of
someone’s mother tongue which is a music to their ears, is a proven fact that brings smiles and joy to
listeners, as we received expressions of happy feelings messages in our chatroom and inbox. Increase of
new songs from new and old composers fed our inbox requesting to be played so their stories can be
heard. The radio played anybody’s music for as long as it is pleasant and acceptable to the public, neither
from an amateur nor a professional singer. We encourage new artist and composers to keep on doing what
they are doing for it is their stories not ours are conveyed. No one knows who got inspired hearing the
message of their song. Somebody somewhere had just brightens its day. Last year, a Filipino music hit the
top list of most requested song in the internet. And it was a song composition where mother tongue of a
certain dialect which is widely used in the Philippines.
Year 2017 was another momentous year but successfully conquered. A lot of challenges defeated as
we open our palm and spread our service of giving authentic news and information. Declaring as media
partner for change, we tried to increase our connection. Thru the help of friends, government and non-
government leaders, we were able to convey to the public true information. Able to link people to the right
person or institution they need aside from the entertainment of music provided daily. Attending press
conferences, borough council meeting and public information dissemination, city council press con,
international public transport summit and community events here in Montreal, made us always on the
run in our daily routine. As a new and small media amateur, we work hard according to our meager
human and financial resources. The help extended from our donors and sponsors helped us able to buy
some of our gadgets needed to improve our service and maximize these tools capacity to reach and
connect our listeners not only thru audio but also video conversation as we encourage participation in
communication during live streaming.
