DZRP - Radyo Pilipinas World Service (formerly known asVoice of the Philippines andRadyo Pagasa) is ashortwave radio station broadcasting outside thePhilippines. Owned by thePresidential Broadcast Service under thePresidential Communications Group, the station is operated from Mondays to Sundays 1:30 AM to 11:30 AMPHT (17:30-03:30UTC) on various shortwave frequencies, with internet live streaming across all schedules. It broadcasts inFilipino and English languages. Radyo Pilipinas World Service uses the relay transmitter facilities ofVoice of America inTinang,Concepcion,Tarlac for its broadcast purposes.
As PBS made a rebranding of its flagship networkRadyo ng Bayan and stationDZSR into Radyo Pilipinas by 2017, the shortwave station remains unchanged but added "Worldwide" (later "World Service") to its name to avert confusion.
During the Martial Law era, theNational Media Production Center (NMPC) operated its own station Voice of the Philippines (VOP) on 2 frequencies: 920 kHz on AM, and 9.81 MHz on shortwave.
After EDSA Revolution in 1986, the NMPC and Bureau of Broadcasts (BB) were abolished, led to its stations (including VOP) were reassigned to the newly reinstated PBS. VOP was later rebranded asRadyo Pagasa until in 1987 when the station becameRadyo Pilipinas under its own callsignDZRP.
