Radio Career
BabyMike's radio fame started by accident after he graduated from college when he tried to audition for Bombo Radyo Philippines' 90.3 Star FM Naga after his short vacation from Cebu in November 1997. He successfully passed the rigorous audition given to him by Star FM's production supervisor Justo "Joe Boss" Manuel P. Villante. The latter recommended the 20-year old Mike to Star FM's station manager Cody Cledera.

During the late 90's, the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO),referring to a global coupled ocean-atmosphere phenomenon was once a household name, thus the name radio name Mel Niño, Mike's very first radio name was born. Mel Niño actually started as a mystery jock on-board a tedious graveyard shift. On 90.3 Star FM, handled the program "Early Morning It's All For You" (1am to 5am) mostly featuring slow, love songs. After 2 months, Mel Niño was transferred to an earlier night schedule of 9pm to 1am (Evening It's All For You). And after he became accustomed of the radio FM programming, style and format, he was now allowed to handle all the other timeslots of Star FM.

In January 1999, Mel Niño felt that his career is not doing well amidst pressure from Star FM management to do sales to help boost the station's tumbling revenues. He called it quits when he resigned from the station to look for other alternatives.
