History
[edit]Early years
[edit]Asenso Pinoy was launched in 2004 as an agribusiness-livelihood radio program. At almost the same time, a column with the same name is also published weekly in The Manila Times.[2] Aired every Saturday morning since its radio premiere,[3] the program was moved from DWSS-AM[3] to state-run DZSR-AM Sports Radio in February 2005.[4] The program, currently airs over DZXL-AM,[5] has been simulcast over stations and affiliates of Radyo Pilipino Media Group[6] (RPMG; formerly Philradio).[2]
The project was expanded later through a half-hour Sunday magazine program on television, also with the same name, which was premiered at noon of July 3, 2005, at ABC-5.[2] More than a month later, the program moved to an early Saturday afternoon slot.[7] Segments in the program feature topics related to entrepreneurship and personal development.[8]
Francis Cardona
[edit]Both programs were produced and hosted by Francisco "Francis" L. Cardona[2] (May 26, 1957 – April 28, 2024)[9] In the programs' early years, he had been serving as the executive vice president and chief operating officer of the Philradio,[2] which later became RPMG, a Tarlac-based provincial broadcast network where he eventually became its president.[6]
Cardona's media career began in 1976 as a radio reporter.[3] He also served in the Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster ng Pilipinas as a long-time director,[6] and later as the vice president for radio.[5]
Cardona died due to pneumonia at a hospital in Quezon City in 2024.[6] At the same time, the program is reformatted without the hosts.
