Apolona's group is responsible for the efficient management of the Kapuso workforce. Also through HRDD, the network has instituted a training and development program anchored in valuing employees as the network’s best asset.
Under his leadership, the HRDD played a vital role especially at the onset of the pandemic to enable the network to quickly adapt to the new normal through different work arrangements and safety precautions to ensure the safety of all employees. Apolona has been a Kapuso since 2009.
Similarly, Glenn F. Allona is now the First Vice President for Radio Operations Group.

With more than two decades of industry experience, he oversees the branding and nationwide programming of AM and FM radio stations resulting in higher ratings and profitability.
During his tenure as Vice President, his team launched the highly successful ‘Dobol B sa News TV’, now titled ‘Dobol B TV’, which provided radio news content to TV viewers through the simulcast of Super Radyo DZBB on GTV. Further, the Network’s flagship AM and FM stations Super Radyo DZBB 594 and Barangay LS 97.1 have been consistently No.1 in Mega Manila.
