World Radio Day 2026 Special with Tatay Tony Custudio

"Dummy lang na ang imo nga report... Mas nami gid ya personal.". — Tay Tony, 88 Valentine’s Day and World Radio Day have just passed, but the lesson from 88-year-old Antonio "Tay Tony" Custodio is timeless .In a world where we treat our cellphones like spouses—getting angry if we are separated from them —Tay Tony reminds us of the 2026 theme: Radio and Artificial Intelligence: AI is a tool, not a voice.He argues that while computers can copy a voice, they can never replace the effort of a human reporter who physically goes to the scene to get the truth. For the former Barangay 3 village chief, an AI reporter is just a "dummy" compared to the real thing.Listen to why the human heart—and voice—still matters most.
