About Ramon "RJ" Jacinto
The real story is that it was RJ’s Dad Don Fernando's birthday on Sept. 7, 1972 and the family celebrated it in Rome. RJ was on his way back through the United States when he made a decision to stop in Tokyo on the way back to the Philippines. That decision saved him from jail. Martial law had been declared by Pres Marcos and his father ordered him to go back to Rome where he started a 14 ½ year exile. 12 years of which were spent in the U.S.
His father Fernando bravely resisted President Marcos' attempt to take over his steel mills before martial law but martial law was declared on Sept. 21,1972 . All Jacinto family assets were forcibly seized and placed under military control including 2 of RJ's radio stations DZRJ & DZUW. The family's executives were jailed with no charges.
In 1977 while in exile, RJ, pining for his country, got together with some filipinos in San Fransisco ( Burnell Bunch, Mike Salvador, Edmund Ungson ) and recorded "Muli" and "Don't Let Go". RJ secretly sent the record to the Philippines for airplay. DJ's of his radio station could not mention the source nor the artist, lest they be castigated by the military management.
The songs became turntable hits. No copies were available.
While in exile, RJ worked closely with his co-exile, the late great Philippine hero, Ninoy Aquino and provided inspirational oppositionist songs to the movement for a free Philippines.
Right after the peaceful Philippine revolution, RJ returned on March 5, 1986 and the military led by Defense Minister, Juan Ponce Enrile, returned his radio stations and the family's steel mills except for the largest one which was the already government-owned "National Steel Corporation".
On June 1986, manning his radio station for two weeks and 8 hours a day while awaiting the formal turnover from the military, RJ became the pied piper of retro/revival music. His call was straightforward enough..... "Hi, this is Ramon Jacinto. Some of you know me as "RJ". Some of you don't remember me and don't even know there is a man behind the name "RJ". Well, I own this station but I've been gone for 14 ½ years. Help me by calling in and suggesting what I should do...." After which, he played the music he knew best. The music of the 50's, 60's and 70's.
