DXRP (88.7 FM), on-air as Radyo Pilipinas or RP1 News, is a radio station owned and operated by the Presidential Broadcast Service. Its studios are located at the Mindanao Media Hub Building, Carlos P. Garcia Highway, Bangkal, Davao City, and its transmitter is located at Broadcast Ave., Shrine Hills, Matina, Davao City.[1][2][3][4][5]
From February to August 2018, following the preparation of the Mindanao Broadcast Hub, DXRP was temporarily broadcasting on FM at 87.5 MHz (this frequency broadcasts as Davao City Disaster Radio) while currently looking for a new transmitter location for its main frequency on its AM counterpart. In August 2018, it transferred its frequency to 88.7 MHz, coinciding with the launched of 87.5 FM1 Davao.
On December 5, 2020, the studios of Radyo Pilipinas Davao, along with its sister station Republika FM1 Davao, transferred to the new home at the new Mindanao Media Hub in Bangkal, Davao City.[6][7]
