In a night dedicated to honoring excellence in Philippine broadcasting, Bombo Radyo Philippines proved once again that true service knows no boundaries, not even the divide between Metro Manila and the provinces. From the heart of Iloilo came a powerful statement: provincial voices matter, and they can rise above the noise.
At the 28th Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster ng Pilipinas (KBP) Golden Dove Awards, the network’s flagship station, Bombo Radyo Iloilo, took home two of the evening’s top honors: Best AM Station – Provincial and Best Newscast – Provincial for its morning news program, Bombo News and Views Morning Edition.
For those behind the microphone, these awards are more than just trophies. They are a validation that every early morning sign-on, every breaking news update, and every story delivered with integrity truly makes a difference.
Nine Finalists, One Network’s Commitment
Bombo Radyo Philippines had nine entries make it to the finals across multiple categories, an extraordinary achievement that highlights the network’s range, creativity, and unshakable dedication to public service.
Here are the Bombo programs and stations that also stood out apart from the two winners:
Best Newscast – Metro Manila: Bombo Network News (BNN)
Best FM Station – Metro Manila: Star FM Manila
Best Special Program: Star FM Manila and Bombo Radyo Cauayan
Best Culture and the Arts Program: Bombo Radyo Iloilo
Best Science and Technology Program: Bombo Radyo Iloilo
Best Sports Program: Star FM Baguio
This level of recognition speaks volumes, not just of the network’s technical skill or content quality, but of its heart. Behind every successful program is a team working with passion, often under pressure, fueled not by fame but by a deep sense of mission.
Broadcasting with Purpose
In an era of clickbait and noise, Bombo Radyo continues to anchor itself in truth, relevance, and responsibility. The KBP Golden Dove Awards serve as a powerful reminder that thoughtful, community-centered journalism still has a place, and a future.
From big cities to remote towns, one message rings clear: “Basta Radyo, Bombo!”
