Fast Facts: DJ Ram of 93.1 Smash FM - Cebu's Rock Fortress

Ramil Dizon, otherwise known over dyWF 93.1 Smash FM as DJ Ram, made his way to the program "Your Voice, Your Choice Tingog Kabataan" aired Tuesdays and Thursdays 9:30 am to 11:30 am when he first backed up anchorman Bré Ambungan as technician.

His voice was later on heard when he started to be vocal about the indispensability of Bisdak talents (in Cebu, Iloilo, Samar, Leyte, Negros Oriental, Bohol, Negros Occidental, and Siquijor).
