DZRP - Radyo Pilipinas World Service (also known as Voice of the Philippines, then known as Radyo Pagasa) 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 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.
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.
As of November 2024, Radyo Pilipinas Worldwide is available on the following times (schedule and shortwave frequencies may changed without prior notice):
Language | Time (UTC) | Time (PHT) | Frequencies (Shortwave) | Coverage |

Radio broadcasting is the broadcasting of audio (sound), sometimes with related metadata, by radio waves to radio receivers belonging to a public audience. In terrestrial radio broadcasting the radio waves are broadcast by a land-based radio station, while in satellite radio the radio waves are broadcast by a satellite in Earth orbit. To receive the content the listener must have a broadcast radio receiver (radio). Stations are often affiliated with a radio network that provides content in a common radio format, either in broadcast syndication or simulcast, or both. The encoding of a radio broadcast depends on whether it uses an analog or digital signal. Analog radio broadcasts use one of two types of radio wave modulation: amplitude modulation for AM radio, or frequency modulation for FM radio. Newer, digital radio stations transmit in several different digital audio standards, such as DAB, HD radio, or DRM.
