Yes! FM and its on-air personality Lyka Barista took home major awards at the 21st Gawad Tanglaw Awards held in Mandaluyong City on Wednesday, December 17.
The radio station was recognized as Best FM Station, while Lyka Barista received the Best DJ Award.
Following the announcement, Yes! FM expressed its gratitude to listeners through a Facebook post, acknowledging their support for the achievement. In the caption, the station wrote, “Kayo ang dahilan kung bakit itinanghal na 'Best FM Radio Station' ang Yes! FM Manila sa 21st Gawad Tanglaw Awards.”
Lyka Barista also shared a humorous reflection, recalling how she once received “awards” from her mother whenever she came home late. Today, she celebrates earning real recognition for her contributions to the radio industry.
The DJ thanked the Gawad Tanglaw for the honor and vowed to continue spreading joy and inspiration to her audience. She wrote, “Maraming salamat, 21st Gawad Tanglaw, sa pagkilalang ito. Mas lalo pa naming pagsisikapan na maghatid ng saya, tuwa, at inspirasyon sa inyo, at manatiling #Solid na kaututang-dila ninyo sa radyo!”.
101.1 Yes! FM has been a consistent award recipient at Gawad Tanglaw, earning the Best FM Station title multiple times and securing a Hall of Fame Award in 2014 after winning for five consecutive years.
The station’s accolades extend beyond Gawad Tanglaw, as it was also named Outstanding FM Station at the Legacy Awards 2025. DJ Rico Panyero was likewise honored as Outstanding FM Radio Host and Event Presenter at the same event.
Meanwhile, Lyka Barista also received a Special Citation for Entertainment Program for Lyka Barista Moments at the 46th Catholic Mass Media Awards in November 2024.
