Longtime Filipino radio personality Keri Belle has officially signed off from TAG 91.1, marking the end of an era for the station’s early morning show TAG Gising Na. Her emotional farewell came just weeks after fellow presenter Johny Biryani also departed the network, stirring speculation of back-to-back transitions in the popular Filipino radio station.
In an Instagram post on her official account, @keri.belle, she wrote:
“SALAMAT. HANGGANG SA MULI. BABABABABYE. 🧡 #Tag911 #Tag911ae #TagGisingNa”, alongside a candid photo of her in the studio with her signature wide-eyed expression and headphones on — a visual that longtime fans instantly recognized as classic Keri Belle energy.
The post sparked an outpouring of love from her listeners. One commenter wrote, “Awww! 😢 All the best sa next chapter, abangan namin ❤️❤️” while others expressed shock and disbelief, asking whether her goodbye was for real.
The voice that woke up thousands
Keri Belle has been a staple of Dubai’s Filipino airwaves for years, best known for her witty banter, razor-sharp humor, and infectious laugh that kickstarted mornings for countless overseas Filipinos. As co-host of TAG Gising Na, her chemistry with Bluebird was unmatched — balancing sarcasm, silliness, and sincerity in every broadcast from 5 AM to 10 AM, Monday through Friday.
Her presenter profile on TAG 91.1’s official website describes her as “your unofficial morning alarm clock without a snooze button,” a tagline that perfectly captured her irreverent but lovable on-air style.
From writer to beloved broadcaster
Before becoming a household name among Filipino expats, Keri’s first job in the UAE was far from the microphone — she worked as a writer for a media monitoring company. But her passion for storytelling, community connection, and entertainment led her to radio, where she found her calling.
Her departure closely follows that of Johnny Biryani, another fan-favorite host, whose own resignation sent shockwaves across the TAG 91.1 community earlier this month.
