Ramon Virgilio Fernando Pereira Perez was a well-known pioneer in radio broadcasting in Panama, best known as the founder of Radio Mia.
Pereira, from a family of humble means, managed to capture the attention of the Panamanian people with radio programs like "Los Monarcas del Aire" ("The Monarchs of the Air"). At the age of 91, Monchi Pereira now lives in Chiriquí Province province, and though he is officially retired, he holds forth with eloquent analyses on topics of national interest when justice warrants it.
