JAM 88.3 (DWJM-FM 88.3 MHz Metro Manila) is a music FM station owned and operated by Raven Broadcasting Corporartion (a subsidiary of Quest Broadcasting Inc. through The Radio Partners) in the Philippines. The station's studio is located at the Strata 2000 Bldg., Ortigas Center, Pasig City.

With the reformatting of several of Quest's FM stations in Metro Manila, it has been rumored that JAM 88.3 will switch to a format that would see more alternative and rock tunes being played, to further distinguish it from sister station Wave 89.1.
