    Since 1986, Kabayan (Kapangyarihan ng Mamamayan, Balita at Talakayan) is the longest-running radio program hosted by Noli de Castro allowing to place a timeslot after DZMM Balita (renamed Radyo Patrol Balita) which focused on issues related to political and social situation. In February 2001, the last episodes of Kabayan (Kapangyarihan ng Mamamayan, Balita at Talakayan) aired. At the time, it was DZMM’s top-rating radio program anchored by Noli de Castro. The show had to end its run in order to allow de Castro to run for the Senate. Replacement programs like notably, Todo Balita were on this slot. In July 2010, Kabayan returned to DZMM and de Castro serves as the current host on weekdays.

    The program is combined with Radyo Patrol Balita: Alas Siyete at 7:00 a.m. with Ted Failon. His program ends with the program's signature closing song, What a Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong and Kenny G.

    In some occasions when the de Castro would not appear on his program, alternate hosts like Gerry Baja or Ricky Rosales will occupy the program. The RPB: Alas 7 portion will be hosted by Failon and an alternate host.
