History

Bandera News Philippines started its FM operations in Puerto Princesa, Palawan and it is owned by former RMN Davao and Brigada Palawan radio announcer and current station manager of Bandera News FM, Elgin Robert Damasco. [1] After several months, the company expanded to different cities and towns across the Philippines. [4]

On November 27, 2023, the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) has issued a cease-and-desist order against radio stations under Fairwaves Broadcasting Network, whose franchise lapsed in 2020. Among the stations were in Bukidnon, Villanueva, Misamis Oriental and Iligan, the latter which was never licensed by the NTC. [5] Damasco explained that the Bandera stations under Fairwaves had their ownership transferred to Palawan Broadcasting Corporation after the latter's franchise was granted in 2021. [6]
