AI TALKS WITH THE VOICEMASTER CELEBRATES ONE YEAR OF “AI PARA SA MASA,” ANNOUNCES SEASON 6 PREMIERE ON OCTOBER 17
Episode 61 opens a new season as the Filipino AI program celebrates international broadcasts and its animated reporters, AIRA and AIVAN.
MANILA, Philippines, October 9, 2026 — AI Talks with The VoiceMaster celebrates its first anniversary with a renewed commitment to making artificial intelligence understandable, useful, and accessible to ordinary Filipinos. The program will premiere Season 6 on October 17, 2026, with Episode 61, continuing its advocacy under the slogan “AI Para sa Masa.”
Created and hosted by Pocholo De Leon Gonzales, The VoiceMaster of the Philippines, the program brings conversations about AI to radio, television, and digital audiences. It connects emerging technology with the everyday concerns of students, teachers, workers, creators, entrepreneurs, and Filipino families.
The anniversary also celebrates AIRA and AIVAN, the program’s AI-generated, animated reporters featured in Balitang AI. Introduced on Radyo Pilipinas in September 2025, the pair were identified by the Philippine Information Agency as the first AI reporters of Philippine government media.
With their recognizable personalities and Filipino-centered presentation, AIRA and AIVAN help explain developments in technology through engaging news reports and accessible storytelling. Their presence demonstrates how AI-generated voices and animation can support public education, with people guiding the purpose and message.
A Filipino program with an international journey
During its first year, AI Talks with The VoiceMaster expanded its journey beyond the Philippines. According to the production team, the program has broadcast from locations across the United States, Canada, the United Arab Emirates, Singapore, Malaysia, India, and the United Kingdom.
These include New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Toronto, Montreal, Dubai, New Delhi, London, and Scotland.
The international broadcasts bring a Filipino perspective to the global AI conversation. They connect experiences abroad with questions that matter at home: How can Filipinos use AI to learn, create, improve their livelihoods, and participate in a changing world?
For the program, the value of international exposure lies in bringing knowledge back to the communities it serves.
AI Para sa Masa: technology people can understand and use
At the heart of AI Talks is a clear belief: ordinary people deserve access to conversations about technologies that increasingly affect their lives.
AI Para sa Masa means explaining AI in language people understand, showing practical applications, and helping audiences ask informed questions about its benefits and limitations.
The program explores how AI can assist teachers preparing lessons, students developing skills, entrepreneurs running businesses, and creators producing content. It also addresses responsible use, misinformation, digital trust, and the importance of human judgment.
By combining the VoiceMaster’s broadcasting and voice-performance experience with emerging production tools, AI Talks makes AI both a subject of discussion and a practical part of its storytelling.
Season 6 begins with Episode 61
The October 17 premiere of Season 6 marks the next chapter of that mission.
With Episode 61, AI Talks with The VoiceMaster continues its commitment to accessible AI education, Filipino storytelling, and conversations that connect global developments with local needs.
The anniversary recognizes the audiences, guests, collaborators, and broadcast partners who have helped the program grow. It also celebrates the creative team behind AIRA and AIVAN and the shared effort to bring AI literacy to more Filipinos.
One year into its journey, the program’s message remains clear:
AI PARA SA MASA.
Inform. Educate. Empower.
