Manila — History was made at Okada Manila during the Asia’s Pinnacle Awards 2025: Summit of Excellence, as AI Talks with The VoiceMaster received the prestigious recognition as Asia’s Most Innovative AI Program on Radio and Spotify — the first of its kind in the region.
This milestone aligns with the 20th AnniVoicesary of CreatiVoices Productions, the pioneering Filipino voice company founded by Pocholo De Leon Gonzales, widely known as The VoiceMaster of the Philippines.
What Is AI Talks with The VoiceMaster?
AI Talks with The VoiceMaster is the first Filipino radio and podcast program that blends human voice, AI education, and Filipino storytelling to make artificial intelligence understandable, relatable, and usable for every Filipino.
Airing on Radyo Pilipinas 738 kHz and streaming globally via Spotify, the program breaks down AI in simple Taglish conversations — helping students, OFWs, MSMEs, teachers, creators, and government frontliners learn how AI can improve daily life, productivity, business, and opportunities.
“AI should not replace the Filipino voice… it should amplify it,”
said Pocholo De Leon Gonzales, The VoiceMaster.
“I created this program so that in the age of technology, the Filipino will not be left behind… but will LEAD the way.”
BALITANG AI – A NEW VOICE IN ASIA
Alongside the program’s success, AI Talks also introduced AIRA and AIVAN — the first AI news reporters in Asia — under the segment Balitang AI.
They are designed to help Filipinos understand AI news in simple, engaging, and localized storytelling… proving that AI can educate, empower, and serve the public when guided by purpose.
Their presence in AI Talks with The VoiceMaster contributed to the recognition, symbolizing the fusion of AI innovation, Filipino identity, and responsible media.
HONORED WITH THE COUNTRY’S MOST RESPECTED LEADERS
The VoiceMaster stood proudly alongside other esteemed awardees who represent integrity, national service, and leadership:
• Sec. Eduardo Año
National Security Adviser of the Philippines
• Hon. Teresita Leonardo-De Castro
Former Chief Justice, Supreme Court of the Philippines
• Atty. Nilo Divina

• Mr. Frederic DyBuncio
