About

Hi… welcome to my blog– http://juntariman.wordpress.com.  I’m consolidating in here all my blogs for my radio programs and other interests to maximize my time and your time also…

For those who don’t know me, my name is jun tariman–a broadcast journalist with almost 22 years Radio-TV experience. I am based in Cebu, Philippines. My media colleagues call me juntar (short for my complete screen name)

I’m also a part-time instructor for mass communications subjects at the University of San Jose Recoletos (USJ-R). Among the subjects i have handled: Introduction to Broadcast Media; Radio-TV Writing; Media Laws and Ethics; Cebuano Journalism; Radio Management and Workshop; Investigative Journalism; Radio-TV Advertising with Public Relations; and Media Planning and Promotions.

Currently, i have three radio programs over DYAB 1512–the local AM radio station of   the  giant network ABS-CBN Broadcasting Corporation in Cebu. I am reporting early morning in DYAB for “Merkado Patrol” (2am-4am/Tuesday-Saturday); “Kapamilya, Negosyo Na!” (Saturday/12:30pm-2pm); and “Hi-Tech ‘Ta Bai” (Sunday/2pm-4pm).

My previous radio programs were “Hoy Gising” (public service) and “Miting de Avance” (political issues).

Working with the media is fun and very challenging. I could still remember the first time i heard the work of a journalist when i was in Grade 4 back in Clarin, Misamis Occidental. My Mommy Hera (my mother’s younger sister) encouraged me to take up journalism in College hence we had a relative who was a journalist (i forgot who?). But mommy Hera died few months later in 1977 which forced me to go back to my parents in Mandaue City, Cebu. By the way, i was like an adopted son of mommy Hera.

Hence my parents couldn’t send me to a private school… i took my intermediate education (Grades 5 & 6) at the former Cebu School of Arts and Trades where i graduated first honors in 1979. I enrolled in the same school for my secondary education while availing the PTA scholarship grant. I finished Third Honorable Mention in high school. Again, i chose to take up my bachelor’s degree in the same school hence my parents couldn’t send me to a private university. Besides, i have two scholarship grants if i enrolled in CSAT (which eventually became Cebu State College of Science and Technology when i was in third year high school). I finished my Bachelor of Science in Industrial Technology, major in Industrial Electronics with the highest honor during my batch(1987)–Magna Cum Laude.

My trade and technical education background made me well-versed with technology which is now my foundation in handling the sci-tech radio program–Hi-Tech ‘Ta Bai! every Sunday.

I started my career in broadcasting at the Radio Philippines Network Channel 9 in Mandaue City who hired me first as a radio reporter for DYKC in January 1987 and then as a TV reporter for the first ever Cebuano newscast–“Newswatch Cebuano Edition”. Before joining the editorial department of the station, i was an apprentice technician (on-the-job trainee as a requirement of my course) in the engineering department of Channel 9.

While working with ABS-CBN Cebu as a reporter, i took a chance  studying in an informal computer course with now Cebu City Councilor Rodrigo Abellanosa as my principal mentor.

Because i didn’t have a formal education about journalism, i took my masters studies in developmental communication at the University of the Philippines (Open-U).

Then in 2006 i finished the six-month fellowship grant of the Konrad Adenauer Asian Center for Journalism making me as the first (the only at that year) Cebuano journalist to be conferred with the Diploma in Radio Journalism.

From being a TV reporter to News Manager, i served ABS-CBN (Cebu, Iligan and Davao) for 15 years as a regular employee before i availed the early optional retirement program of the company.

Now, i’m back after my six-year “exile” in Mindanao, working as an anchor of DYAB 1512–the local AM radio station of ABS-CBN in Cebu.

I’m now busy blogging. I consider myself a value  blogger and a tech-blogger. This blog site complements all my three radio shows. It has also some of my interest and advocacy.
