Controversies
This station was reported to Kabayan in DZMM on Sep, 2015 when 2 (technically 3) of it’s reporters got fired, because the staff and reporters ate a lechon with a note saying “To Radio Ultra” by the son of then city mayor, Oscar Moreno. The lechon was originally meant to be brought to the owner’s house, Girlie Gualberto-Suan, for a dinner, but the technician panicked and said “Naubos na namin.”, so the reporters and staff raised money and bought another lechon.[5] Later, in March, 2016, the station lost the case.
