Radio El Shadai

DWXI (1314 kHz Metro Manila) is an AM station of Delta Broadcasting System, Inc. in the Philippines. The station's studio is located at Queensway Commercial Tower, Amorsolo Street, Legaspi Village, Makati City, Metro Manila.

In 1981, at the height of his real estate business expansion around the now Ninoy Aquino International Airport, Bro. Mike bought the DWXI (1314 kHz) AM Radio Station from its owner-operators for P2 million, because he needed the parcel of land on which it stood. Besides, the owners would not sell the land unless the radio station was included in the deal. Later, the radio station alone would cost him millions more to sustain its operations.

Brother Mariano "Mike" Z. Velarde, Servant-Leader of the El Shaddai DWXI Prayer Partners Foundation International, is a geodetic engineer by profession and a real estate developer in business. Among his real estate developments are the Moonwalk Subdivisions in Parañaque and Las Piñas Cities, and the Bricktown Subdivision and Multinational Village, located in Parañaque City, near the Ninoy Aquino International Airport. Actually, he had neither planned to lead any charismatic community nor dreamt of proclaiming the Good News of Salvation. However, God’s thoughts are not man’s thoughts, neither His ways are man’s ways. Here is the story on how God called him to be a "fisher of men for Christ Jesus" and how the El Shaddai DWXI-PPFI started.
