Bombo Radyo Philippines, a cornerstone of Filipino broadcast media, is ringing in its diamond anniversary with a strategic gathering of its top leaders. The network's Top Level Management Conference is scheduled from January 5 to 11, 2026, in Iloilo City, setting the stage for its next chapter.
A Week of Strategy and Celebration
Led by chairman Dr. Rogelio M. Florete and president and CEO Margaret Ruth C. Florete, the conference will assemble station managers and senior officers from across the network's 25 key areas. The theme, “Bombo Radyo Philippines: Celebrating 60 Years of Media Excellence,” underscores the dual purpose of the event: to honor a rich legacy while planning for the future.
The weeklong summit will be dedicated to strategic planning and direction-setting. Key discussions will revolve around driving innovation, enhancing public service, and reinforcing the network's unwavering commitment to credible and responsible broadcasting.
A Legacy Cemented by Awards and Public Trust
As part of the anniversary milestone, Bombo Radyo Philippines reflects on a storied history of recognition. Its flagship program, Bombo Network News, achieved a remarkable feat as a back-to-back winner of the Catholic Mass Media Awards for Best News Program in 2024 and 2025.
The network's FM arm, Star FM, also shone brightly, being named Best Entertainment Program for three consecutive years from 2023 to 2025. Further cementing its provincial strength, Bombo Radyo Iloilo, the network's flagship station, was honored at the 28th Golden Dove Awards in 2025 with awards for Best AM Station (Provincial) and Best News Program (Provincial).
Beyond trophies, the network's credibility is validated by independent research:
- It was named the Most Trusted News and Information Source in the Radio category in the Philippine Information Agency’s National Survey on Media and Information Literacy of Filipino Youth (November 2024).
- Octa Research cited it in December 2024 as the leading radio news source among Filipino adults.
- It has consistently ranked first in the quarterly Pahayag Survey by Publicus Asia Inc. under the Most Trusted Media Outlets (Radio category).
Looking Ahead with a Strong Foundation
This conference not only celebrates six decades of service but also reaffirms Bombo Radyo's position as the country's leading radio network. With 32 fully digitalized AM and FM stations nationwide, the company views this gathering as a tribute of gratitude to the Filipino public whose trust has been its cornerstone.
The message is clear: Because of its loyal audience, Bombo Radyo continues to uphold excellence and deliver news and public service with unmatched dedication. As the network moves beyond its 60th year, this leadership conference is the pivotal first step in ensuring its legacy of trusted broadcasting continues for decades to come.
