DJs react to bishop’s call for censorship: We’re not obscene

Manila, Philippines – TWO radio jocks have addressed the call of Sorsogon bishop Arturo Bastes for the Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster ng Pilipinas (KBP) to monitor, censor, and punish DJs that use what he deemed as foul language especially during their late night programs.

DJ Chacha of Tambayan 101.9 and Papa Jack of Love Radio 90.7 stood their ground on the matter, saying in an interview with “Umagang Kay Ganda“ that their late-night radio shows, where they entertain listeners’ calls and gives advice on their personal woes, is not all about sex.

In the same taped report, Bishop Bastes lamented that DJs who use obscene language “tempt people to sin, especially sexual innuendos.“

He even advised these DJs to play religious songs at midnight instead. He added that although he has not caught an episode of the radio shows, a number of people have voiced their complaints to him. (Bulletin Entertainment Online)
