(ANS – Makati City) – Langit Sa Lupa (Heaven On Earth), is a weekly Radio Program managed by the Social Communication department of the PhilippinesNorth Province (FIN).  It is aired every Sunday, 6:00-7:30pm.

This broadcasting facility, located a few minutes away from the FIN Provincial House in Makati, is owned by the Philippine Daily Inquirer, a leading newspaper of the country. The newspaper started its own radio station in order to cater to the masses that listen to the AM band. This radio station, called DZIQ Radyo Inquirer 990kHz,  approached the Salesians in the later part of 2010 and offered them the possibility of managing an hour and a half slot every Sunday, dealing with themes related to the Sunday Liturgy.

Thanks to the confreres who first agreed to carry out this apostolate through the Radyo Inquirer 990kHz, the Salesian style and concern for the young has been reaching the whole of the Philippines for almost three years. Now, the new Social Communication delegate, Fr. Bernard Nolasco, continues this service as the main presenter together with co-presenter, Miss Imelda Benitez, a Salesian Cooperator.

Every now and then, the program allows guests or invited persons of different ages and backgrounds to be part of the program so that it becomes more connected with the ordinary people. So this Sunday, Fr. Drans and Miss Imelda welcomed a group of AB Communication Arts students from Adamson University. Aware that these students are doing a school requirement, the presenters seized the opportunity to make them part of this program's Sunday reflection on the Word of God.

The students gamely participated all throughout the program, spontaneously answering questions and sharing their own reflections and reactions to the presenters’ inputs.
