It was July 8 last year when ABS-CBN’s official FM station in Metro and Mega Manila was relaunched as MOR, with Daniel, Vice, and Toni Gonzaga as the new “faces of MOR.” From then on, MOR ruled the hearts of on-air listeners and online viewers in the country and abroad.

Alongside the hit relaunch of MOR is the growing popularity of DJ ChaCha. Aside from her top-rating “naughty and nice” radio show “Heartbeats with DJ ChaCha Babes,” her book “Napakasakit Ate ChaCha” also made it to the best-sellers’ list of bookstores nationwide.
