“Famous Last Words”
History has recorded some of the famous last words of renowned personalities. Though the late, great home of nu rock NU 107 is not a person per se, let us remember its famous last words before signing off as seen and heard inside the booth.
Station Manager Chris “Cris Cruise” Hermosisima was the last one to speak to the microphone and utter the now-memorable parting words of the station:
“So let’s do this for the last time. It’s a minute before 12. NU107 is DWNU FM at 107 dot 5 megahertz in Pasig, once the loudest and proudest member of the KBP. This has been NU107, the Philippines’ one and only Home of NU Rock. This is NU107. We are signing off.”
And after those words, “Ang Huling El Bimbo” by the Eraserheads was played for the last time by the station.
Also seen inside the station are owner Atom Henares (wearing blue), his former wife Dr. Vicky Belo, and daughter Crystal Henares.
Thanks for the memories NU 107. The music will live on. Padayon!
Entertaining and Informative at the same time.
Pain is what i feel right now.
On average, a language becomes extinct every two weeks, usually when the last living speaker passes away.
