1. Papa Buboy - Mas nakilala man siya sa pagiging kuwelang DJ ng Barangay LS FM 97.1, marami ang 'di nakakaalam na si Papa Buboy ay may ibubuga din sa pag-arte. Justiniano Candado II sa totoong buhay, ilang projects na ang nagawa niya sa telebisyon, pelikula at teatro.

 2. Papa Jepoy - Sino ba naman ang mag-aakala na ang DJ sa likod ng matining na boses na ating naririnig from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. araw-araw ay isa palang amateur basketball player? 'Yan ang pinagkakaabalahan ni Juanito G. Quiamco III, o mas kilala bilang si Papa Jepoy, bago pa niya pinasok ang pagiging radio DJ. Ayon sa kanyang kuwento, wala daw talaga siyang balak magtrabaho sa radyo dahil very passionate siya sa basketball.

8. Papa Marky - "I am a person who sets my goals high and works diligently to pursue those goals. I am a man of character, an honour to my family. I believed that you make things happen if you have the confidence and the will power to perform your task efficiently. More so, I’ m always willing to learn and I never stop dreaming, those traits opened rooms for my personal and professional growth. A humble beginning with a big dream ahead, that’s how I describe how it all started. A man in front of me speaks, before he gave my full scholarship in college and he said, “Mark, don’t stop dreaming, live and inspired other people, be a living example to them. I will be forever thankful to Sec. Jessie Robredo for helping me realizing my dreams and continue to live with a purpose in life. I learned a lot of things about life for almost ten years in the industry of FM Radio Broadcasting. Working as a professional radio disc jockey, or DJ, requires more than an ability to introduce songs and press a few buttons and slides. Anyone who likes to talk with sense, entertain, and joke with people and genuinely loves music would make a good Radio DJ. I love making people’s days better and if you can be a positive or an uplifting force for them, believe me, you’ll be successful. Your listeners they will love you as if you are part of the family. Any kind of extreme person would also be good in radio. But if you are a boring person with no opinion, it will be hard for you to pursue career in radio.

I’ve been in this kind of business for so long. Why? It is because one, passion is everything. If you’re passionate about what you’re doing, you will be successful. Coming in second is your personality. You can’t learn or even teach that. No one really cares what you sound like, as long as what you say is relevant and you are personable. Because of that your listeners will sense it and eventually will embrace you with open arms and big smile. Radio is a theatre of the mind and a DJ as its main character. I learned that to become a successful DJ, it requires passion, practice, willingness to learn, ability to read and understand, ability to write creatively and readiness to share it to others. It requires patience. You cannot be a superstar overnight, you need to work hard, and that takes time. You need to have the desire to be better every single day and make some if not more sacrifices for it. Good quality of voice is a must for us DJs. Other than a good-sounding voice, I also need to be able to speak clearly and articulate well, and that’s the start of a good conversation towards my listener. I love what I do, it is reflected in my work and even my listeners can feel it."

13. Papa Ding - You will never know where life will take you. This is true for John Kehvin Real or Papa Ding who is the latest addition to the Barangay LS roster of talented DJs. The former regional radio host in the province of Quezon didn’t expect becoming a DJ will be his career since he graduated with a degree in agricultural technology. In his one-on-one interview with GMANetwork.com last week, Papa Ding talked about how he discovered his love for radio. “Actually, hindi talaga wala akong kaide-idea about radio, kasi nung nag-aaral pa ako hindi naman ako fan ng radio. Isa pa hindi ako Mass com graduate, ano ako agricultural technology graduate. Kasi medyo hindi rin ako nagkaroon ng opportunity na makapag-mass com, though isa sa mga plans ko this time na mag-mass com kahit papaano.” He added, “Pero nung panahon na expose ako sa radio, which is ibang radio pa ‘yun hindi pa ‘yun sa GMA, kasi mayroon akong unang inaplayan, which is dun ako na-expose. Nakita ko ‘yung papaano ‘yung radio thing… I just realized na parang 'Ay eto pala ‘yung passion ko parang dito ako mago-grow.'”Papa Ding also revealed that his previous job as a fast food crew helped him overcome his shyness, since he was sometimes assigned as a host of their events like birthday parties.“Naging training ground ko din ‘yun para maka-get over ako dun sa hiya sa tao. [Nagho-host din ako] kapag nagkakaroon sila ng events ‘yun, so at least na at ease ako sa harap ng tao.” Barangay LS,Papa Ding worked as a radio host in Lucena city for three years. He then decided to try out his luck in Metro Manila last June and apply as a disk jock in Barangay LS 97.1. After coming in Quezon City, he didn’t wait long and finally got the call back. It was a sort of an early celebration for Papa Ding since he was on vacation in Palawan when he got the news. He quipped, “Actually nasa noon ako eh sa bakasyon ako nun eh. Nasa somewhere in Palawan ako eh. So nung nalaman ako, sabi ko parang advance ‘yung celebration ko kasi wala pa man din nag-celebrate na.” Papa Ding will host Talk Back, the former show of Papa Marky. According to him, Kabarangay listeners should expect a more exciting and entertaining Talk Back. “Ang pinalakas na Talk Back version 3.0, kasi third generation na 'to. Although may similarities din sa program ni Papa Marky ‘yung dating Talk Back kasi nagfea-feature din tayo ng story. Pero hindi na lang featured story ang mayroon tayo ngayon, dahil binibigyan din natin ng chance ‘yung mga caller or ‘yung mga listener na ipahayag ‘yung mga opinion nila.”
