If you are a big fan of radio stations here in the Philippines
or if you are an avid listener of radio, you will notice that every radio
station claims that they are the number one radio station here in the Philippines.
But is that really true? I always asks people why every radio stations here in
the Philippines especially fm stations always has this “tagline” that they are
the number one radio station like for example this line “You are listening to
the number one radio station” or maybe “You are tuned in to the number one
radio station” and then when you change the frequency and listen to other stations you will hear
some lines with the same thought but with different way of delivery like for
example, “There’s only one radio station that you need to listen to and that is
blah blah blah”. See? I don’t really get why almost ALL radio stations think
that way and I know that it is not only me who is confused about it. But never
mind that, I think that is one of their strategies so many people would stay
tuned in to their station knowing that the station they are listening to is the
number one here in the Philippines.
In terms of being populace or “pang-masa” in tagalog, I
believe that iFM has proved that they are at the top. Not only because of their
set of music that is wanted by people who are not in the high level of society,
me as an example of course, but because of the people talking behind the mic which
are the DJs of iFM Manila. iFM DJs or disc jockeys I am talking about have
personalities that ordinary people can relate especially because of the way
they talk. I am always very happy every time I listen to 93.9 iFM because all
the DJs talk just like an ordinary person so all people who are listening can
easily relate and understand what they are talking about. Unlike other stations
that only talk like they are talking to some foreigners and not even thinking
of those people who are listening who can’t even understand what they’e talking
about. See the difference? Just by observing how the DJs communicate to the
people/listeners, you can easily come up with the idea that iFM is really a “pang-masa”
radio station here in the Philippines. Not only that, the Djs are also very
friendly and accommodating whenever some avid listeners go to the station’s
location and visit them just like what I’ve experienced. Here are a couple of
photos of me and my friends when we visited the station together with the super
friendly DJs of iFM including Pakito Jones and Sir Rex Kantatero of Kamote Club and Daniel Padila of Time To Share,

And I also really like the fact that they consider song
requests sent by their listeners. Obviously, I always send song requests and
immediately got answered because I always hear my requested song playing on
air. Addition to that is they also accept some messages like for example you
want to greet someone a happy birthday, you’ll just have to send a text on
their textline and they will greet that person for you. These are few reasons
why I really love listening to this station and for me 93.9 iFM is the REAL
Number 1 FUN FM Radio Station in the Philippines.
