DZRP, broadcasting as Radyo Pilipinas World Service, is a shortwave radio station broadcasting outside the Philippines. Owned by the Presidential Broadcast Service under the Presidential Communications Group, the station is operated from Mondays to Sundays 1:30 AM to 11:30 AM PHT (17:30-03:30 UTC) on various shortwave frequencies, with internet live streaming across all schedules. It broadcasts in Filipino and English languages. Radyo Pilipinas World Service uses the relay transmitter facilities of Voice of America in Tinang, Concepcion, Tarlac Province for its broadcast purposes.
As PBS made a rebranding of its flagship network Radyo ng Bayan and station DZSR into Radyo Pilipinas by 2017, the shortwave station remains unchanged but added "Worldwide" (later "World Service") to its name to avert confusion.
History During the Martial Law era, the National 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 as Radyo Pagasa until in 1987 when the station became Radyo Pilipinas under its own callsign DZRP.
