Love Notes (IBC)

Joe D'Mango's Love Notes is a Philippine drama anthology series broadcast on IBC every Saturday after Iskool Bukol and Maya Loves Sir Chief, and is hosted by the love adviser Joe D'Mango. It premiered on January 24, 2014 and reaching its 3rd year in 2017. The program features weekly love stories through letter sending where Joe has been reading love notes and after it, he will give advice and the right song for the story.

Love Notes evolved into a television drama anthology from the well-loved 15-minute counseling program on radio with the same title, it airs on the FM radio station Magic 89.9 from August 1988 to February 23, 2001 when  it moved to now-defunct Wave 891 (now known as 89 DMZ) from March 2, 2001 to 2008 and returned to Magic 89.9 as the original home  since November 6, 2015 and aired every Friday from 10:15 to 10:30 a.m. with the replay at 7:00 to 7:15 p.m. as part of Friday Madness (the best of the 80s and early 90s: 1980-1992) and reaching its 28th year in 2016. This format also served as a template of drama anthologies aired on Philippine television.

It also became a movie that produced by Viva Films with the same title Love Notes: The Movie in 1995, a popular book and compiled as the pocketbook love stories.

The radio version (counselling program) of Love Notes continued to air on Friday (10:15-10:30 am with the replay at 7:00-7:15 pm) even as the show's TV counterpart (drama anthology) was being produced and taped.
