Students of a Japanese college in a southern Philippines city are propagating Japan's culture and language among locals via a commercial FM radio station.
The show, "MKD Nihongo Radio," has been broadcast since 2010 by students of Mindanao Kokusai Daigaku (Mindanao International College) in Davao City, using airtime bought from 105.1 Easy Rock Davao, a radio station owned by Manila Broadcasting Co.
It features talk shows, educational segments and dramas broadcast in Japanese, Tagalog and English — all with Japan-related content — as well as popular Japanese music.
