Karambola is a Philippine political talk radio program. It airs every weekday mornings on DWIZ in Metro Manila, and nationwide via syndication on Home Radio Network (provincial stations) and RPN Radyo Ronda.[1]
Since 2018, the program has been live streaming through social media platforms such as Facebook and YouTube, as well on the station's official website and mobile application.[2]
History
The program was first conceptualized by Aliw Broadcasting Corporation founder and former Ambassador Antonio Cabangon-Chua, as a way to debate and tackle issues on politics, featuring a panel of prominent journalists and broadcasters.[1]
In 2018, blogger RJ Nieto ("Thinking Pinoy") and attorney Trixie Cruz-Angeles joined the show's third batch. Robles died on May 23, 2019.[3] Senator Imee Marcos and attorney Larry Gadon joined as guest commentators in 2019, while Nieto left the program on August 3, 2020.
