Barangay LS 97.1 is rooting for a three-peat at the 2014 Yahoo Celebrity Awards after receiving its third nomination as FM Radio Station of the Year.
DWLS, the FM station of GMA Network, won as the 2012 and 2013 FM Radio Station of the Year in the formerly known Yahoo OMG Awards. If it wins this year, it would enter the Hall of Fame.
Mama Belle, one of DWLS’ senior DJs and host of The Big Ten, said despite the station’s previous wins, being nominated is always a welcome delight. “’Yung feeling is always like the first time. Excited and happy. Being acknowledged by Yahoo is itself an award,” she added.
“What more pag manalo ka pa for the third time? It’s a confirmation that for three straight years pinapakinggan talaga kami ng mga tao. A confirmation of our hard work,” she also said.
She said Barangay LS is passionate about retaining its distinction.
“And, being the flagship of all the Barangay FM stations nationwide, whatever we achieve is an achievement for the rest of our RGMA stations,” she said.
DWLS has also been recognized as the Best FM Radio Station in the 2013 UPLB Gandingan Awards.
The Yahoo Celebrity Awards lets fans decide on the winners for each of the 28 categories. One Yahoo account may be used to vote once a day until the end of the voting period on July 12, 2014.
