DZRP - Radyo Pilipinas Worldwide (also known as Voice of the Philippines, then known as Radyo Pagasa) is a short-wave radio station broadcasting outside the Philippines. Owned by the Philippine Broadcasting Service, the station is operated from Mondays to Sundays 11:30pm - 12:00nn PST (15:30-04:00 UTC) on various shortwave frequencies, with internet live streaming across all schedules. It broadcasts in Filipino and English languages. Radyo Pilipinas uses the relay transmitter tower of Voice of America in Tinang, Tarlac for its broadcast purposes.
As PBS's made a rebranding of its flagship network Radyo ng Bayan into Radyo Pilipinas, this shortwave station remains unchanged but added "Worldwide" to its name to avert confusion.
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, 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 Pilipinas under its own callsign DZRP.
Radyo Pilipinas is available at 1:30am - 3:30am PST (17:30 - 19:30 UTC) on 12.120Mhz, 15.190Mhz and 9.910 MHz in Filipino Service and 10:00am - 11:30am PST (02:00 - 03:30 UTC) on 17.820Mhz, 15.640Mhz and 12.010 MHz in English Service.
