PHLV Radio MAM Awards 2025: PHLV Radio — a trusted voice for Las Vegas’s Filipino community — won at the 2025 MAM Awards in Manila when its program “Immigration Law On Your Side” was honored for outstanding service journalism. The recognition spotlights the station’s award-winning work breaking down immigration law for Filipino immigrants and families across Southern Nevada.

PHLV Radio — a trusted voice for Las Vegas’s Filipino community — brought home international recognition when its program “Immigration Law On Your Side” was honored at the 2025 MAM Awards in Manila. The win, celebrated on the front page of the Philippine Times’ latest edition, marks a milestone for local community journalism and the Valley’s Filipino media presence on the global stage.

Lifting a local voice onto an international stage

The paper’s front-page photo captures the PHLV Radio team onstage in Manila as they accepted the award under the banner for the program. According to the coverage, the honor recognizes the show’s role in translating complicated immigration issues into clear, practical information for listeners — an essential service for many Filipino immigrants and families in Southern Nevada.

This kind of award matters beyond the trophy. For community broadcasters, recognition at a major industry event validates the professional standards, care, and impact of grassroots reporting. PHLV’s emphasis on legal education — breaking down policy, procedure, and rights into accessible segments — helps longtime residents and newly arrived immigrants alike navigate a complex system. The MAM Awards distinction brings broader credibility and raises the profile of Las Vegas’ Filipino community in national and international conversations.

Service journalism that makes a difference

The front-page story frames the win as both celebratory and service-oriented: it highlights the program’s practical focus, the community benefits of accessible legal information, and how PHLV’s work strengthens civic trust. Local listeners who rely on community radio for timely, culturally relevant guidance stand to gain even more as the station leverages this recognition to expand outreach and partnerships.

Local businesses and legal providers that advertise in the paper — including Rivera Law Group and Michael Hua Injury Law — reinforce the newspaper’s role as a community hub. Their prominent placements on the newspaper’s front page underscore the interconnectedness of local media, legal resources, and the Filipino community in Southern Nevada.

What this win means for Southern Nevada

• Increased credibility for community media. Awards create opportunities for stronger funding, partnerships, and more ambitious reporting.
• Greater visibility for local issues. A Manila award draws attention to the needs and strengths of Las Vegas’ Filipino community.
