BAYAWAN, NEGROS ORIENTAL -- A heated, technical dispute has emerged between two radio personalities in the Negros Island Region (NIR), involving claims of poor management, workplace issues and alleged death threats in less reputable media networks for radio listeners, including a lone affiliate FM station.
'Randy Tambasacan Coronel', who is a station manager, radio commentator, and news anchor of 106.5mhz's K5 News FM: Bayawan under '5K Broadcasting Network Incorporated' (5KBNi) recently been accused of verbally confronting and acting aggressively toward another radio broadcaster, targeting claims about lacking of managerial skills to its former broadcasting home in 'Sagay City, Negros Occidental'.
In a captioned social media post last week on Friday (August 15th, 2025 -- Sagay local time), this almost in relation by flexing its credit cards from a national banking institution "Bank of the Philippine Islands" (BPI), days before the incentive tour to Singapore & Malaysia this week on Monday morning (August 18th).
'Troy Tisoy' (real name 'Norberto Lapoy Celestial Jr.'), a new radio disc jockey of DYKR-FM 96.7mhz's XFM: Bacolod and current station manager of DYRQ-FM 88.3mhz's Radyo Natin: Sagay. Both FM radio stations operate under 'Yes2Health Broadcasting Corporation' (Y2HBC) and MBC Media Group. Tisoy also hosts in solo-syndicated radio programme of 'Phonepal'.
Sources told exclusively to OneNETnews, most radio technicians have decided to cut ties with either 'XFM: Bacolod', 'Radyo Natin: Sagay' or both, allegedly due to concerns about gambling, corruption and technically poor management. Citing from a Hiligaynon-based social media group chat, which is obtained by OneNETnews in part: "Halos kami tanan nakit-an nas iyang batasan. Wala nas lugar kay dili nya pirmahan kung maay mong nag-leave [sang trabaho]". Tisoy stepped down in late-June 2025 from DYJU-FM 89.7mhz's K5 News FM: Sagay, later returning on free radio through 'Radyo Natin: Sagay' and 'XFM Bacolod' as the only solo host of the said radio programme.
But early this weekend, Y2HBC's chief executive officer (CEO) 'Dr. Remelito Ytang Uy', said the XFM Philippines incentive tour would proceed as planned. He denied commenting on allegations of fraud, irregularities or corruption in the radio industry.
Local reports also allege that Coronel recently made death threats toward Tisoy in its damage control. If proven, these could lead to charges such as hate speech, cyber libel and other offenses. As of now, police in 'Bayawan City, Negros Oriental' and 'Sagay City, Negros Occidental' have not issued an arrest warrant, nor have they pressed charges on him, and no court plea has been entered.
K5 News FM's CEO and president 'Dr. Ramel Ytang Uy' shockingly aware of the situation, and is expected to urgently suspend Coronel as early as next week. Y2HBC, 5KBNi and regional officials of Manila Broadcasting Company Media Group (MBCMG) have not yet addressed and issued public statements.
