Radio Veritas 846 marks 47 years of service to Filipinos through the proclamation of truth and new evangelization.
On Easter Sunday, March 27, Radio Veritas 846, the leading faith-based AM radio station in the Philippines, celebrated its 47th anniversary at SM City North Edsa Skydome.
This year’s theme is “Truth meets Mercy” in line with the celebration of the Extraordinary Jubilee Year of Mercy declared by His Holiness Pope Francis.
The anniversary celebration commenced with the Holy Mass at 1 p.m. presided by His Eminence Manila Archbishop Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle, D.D., with Cubao Bishop Most Rev. Fr. Honesto Ongtioco, D.D., and other priest-anchors as concelebrant. Performances of singer Zion Aquino, Migs Cuaderno, and the inspirational diva Jamie Rivera also graced the celebration.
For 47 years Radio Veritas continues to uphold its mission to spread the word of God through our social communications ministry. Thanks to the support of our Kapanalig, who are regularly listening to Radio
Veritas, we have been able to continue in the ministry over such a long period of time. We would like to express my sincere gratitude for your continued patronage.
Owned and operated by the Archdiocese of Manila, Radio Veritas continues to be the leading social communications ministry for truth and new evangelization providing religious and magazine programs, church advocacies and social concerns to its listeners.
It was on April 11, 1969, that Manila Archbishop Rufino Cardinal Santos, D.D., with the presence of Antonio Cardinal Samore representing the Vatican, inaugurated the studios of Radio Veritas formerly in Fairview, Quezon City.
In 1986 it was through Radio Veritas where Manila Archbishop Jaime Cardinal Sin made the call to the people to converge in Edsa to prevent the bloodshed, and ushered in the four-day bloodless
revolution known as Edsa People Power revolution.
That same year, Radio Veritas received the Ramon Magsaysay Award for Journalism, Literature and Creative Communication Arts. The Ramon Magsaysay Award Board of Trustees recognized Radio Veritas’s crucial role in using the truth to depose an oppressive and corrupt regime and restore the Filipino faith in the electoral process.
Currently, Radio Veritas is also going beyond radio through its web site, www.veritas846.ph, and its social-media platforms. It is also extending its reach to television through its partnership with TV Maria.
