Education

Musñgi studied his last two years of high school at the La Salette Seminary in Isabela.[4] Musñgi graduated from the University of the East with a degree in business administration, major in accounting in 1972.[4][5] A year later, he passed the CPA Board Exam.[5] At the Ateneo de Manila University, he earned his Master of Business Administration degree.[1]

Career

As a high school student, Musñgi served as a DJ for a local pop radio station where a relative was the manager.[5] Following his stint as a radio personality, he was tapped to provide voice as announcer in commercials and film trailers.[3]

He became known to the wider public when he accidentally sang the nursery rhyme, "Little Peter Rabbit" over the radio which caught the attention of actress and radio personality, Helen Vela. This performance led to Musñgi being dubbed as Peter Rabbit from then on.[3]

Musñgi first joined ABS-CBN in 1972, as an announcer for its radio station 101.0 DZYK FM, learning how to play a prepared and approved list of songs as well as doing time check and voice overs for the station ID. Later that year, he was left unemployed after ABS-CBN was shut down following the declaration of Martial Law by Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos. He later worked for various other AM radio stations.[4]

However, when the People Power Revolution deposed President Marcos in 1986, Musñgi rejoined ABS-CBN. He became the main voice-over of the company's television network since then.[3] From 1988 to 1994, he was station manager of DZMM and DWRR.[1] He is a key person on the media conglomerate's Manila Radio Division and ABS-CBN Sports.[3]

Style

In his childhood, Musñgi had already developed an interest in creating his own voice. He said that in his home province back then, there were no television yet and he would often listen to the radio. Musñgi said that he initially imitated the voice he heard on the radio before developing his own voice-over style. He also read newspapers aloud as part of honing his voice. He has once cited Joonee Gamboa as one of his inspirations in making his own style.[3]
