Stanley Jordan, ifm's morning guy and production supervisor, is definitely the best pilot of the airwaves.He may not be better than Rick Dees, the American Gold with Dick Bartley or with your own host in your own choice. But Stanley Jordan is happy for being part of Team ifm.

“ I'm proud of what I'm doing for ifm-Bacolod. Everyday day we improve, we make sure that everyday, there is always a room for improvement and we are not contented of what we are doing because the Team ifm knows that we have to “Aim Higher” every minute and I hope it stays this way in the coming years. We have proved that we are Stronger and Better than just number one! We can compete with full powers of Team ifm...Pwede!” said Stanley Jordan.“ In the last year's tightly-contested survey, ifm-Bacolod got a good spot and that's because of the Team ifm's effort. We are always busy in everything. Here in ifm-Bacolod, programming and services are the top priorities, whose the leadership of our Team Captain and competent Station Manager Jopy San Juan has brought ifm-Bacolod to a higher level.” said Stanley Jordan.
What do they call you?

Stanley Jordan, but everyone calls me Stan. I'm 8 years younger than Rod Simon.I'm taken...taken for granted sometimes...lol! My birthday falls on June 18 same with Rod Simon.
When did you start working with Radio?
I was in 1st year college when I began working with radio but not ifm-Bacolod. I have been working since 1995. I was 2 years ahead of you.(cocoy)

Wow, that's a long time!

That's almost 13 years!Pwede!

When you entered the Broadcast Industry many years ago, who were your batchmates?

Many were called but only one was chosen. I knew many applied for the position and I knew they were better than I do but it's the attitude that really matters. My colleagues, to name a few...the famous Christy Love our ever loving Mom and Tita, Our dear friend Rod Simon, Remo Williams our sex guru, Bobby Cue who passed away on 2004,Clif Jason my mentor and Mitch Adam also my mentor.

How about Mr. M?
Bila- -bay! Please do not make me speak bad words. Lol

How did you become an ifm Dj?

When the company I'm working with started to change their management scheme and kicked out some of my friends, Sir Jopy offered me a job. I did not think twice, I joined ifm-Bacolod and I gave you a call (he is talking to me..cocoy)to join the team also and the rest is history!!! Shall we call it “Ourstory”!!!lol

Do you enjoy what you do?

I do love radio, I really enjoy it a lot. Well, we know it's a glamorous work and it's a low income job. But it has nothing to do with monetary aspect but rather it's a passion or to put it in a higher degree it's a vocation.

You are good! You deserve endorsement. Do you have offers for endorsement?
Now, we are doing it in probono. Tani may offers, hehehe! Pero it's all right! But for those who would want to, we are not asking that much. We are willing to help make your business on the go. It really pays when you hit the right target.

How do you see yoourself in 10 years?
Hmm, to have 5 wives I guess...
Do you think ifm-Bacolod will fare well in KBP coming survey?
Hopefully, team ifm would do well and improve. When we came here, it was Power 94 then, placed 8th or 9th but now we are stronger and better more than just number one! We are crossing our fingers that we stay on top always. Pwede!!!

What are your strong rivals?

That question is not intended for us to answer.hehehe

How do you rate ifm-Bacolod as working venue?

Very cool venue, we dine and karaoke once in a while. It's good for team bonding!
Being a dj, do you consider yourself a hot item?
Hahahaha! What a question, We guess other people should answer that question if we are hot.
