MANILA, Philippines -- The Philippine National Police (PNP) will convert the radio station previously owned by the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Service Administration (PAGASA) to make it a "police broadcast service." Outgoing PNP Director General Avelino Razon Jr. led the signing of the memorandum of agreement (MoA) Friday with Office of Civil Defense administrator Glenn Rabonza and PAGASA director Dr. Frisco Nilo to place AM radio station dzCA (1170 khz) under the PNP. Rabonza said dzCA, which is owned by the OCD, has been inactive for the past 15 years due to lack of funding, so "we welcome the proposal of the PNP to operate and manage the radio station that will serve the mutual needs of the PNP, OCD, PAGASA and other agencies for an effective mass communication and public information system." The PNP radio will serve as an emergency broadcast, weather warning, and mass communication system, Razon said. "The radio station will primarily operate as a police broadcast service for anti-criminality, and peace and order concerns; and as an emergency
broadcast system for disaster preparedness and response during contingencies, to include weather forecast and warning bulletins from concerned agencies," he added. To improve the communications system of the radio station, a transmitter will be put up in Obando, Bulacan on a
9,495-square meter lot. The radio station will also serve as an "alternate communication system" for the PNP to coordinate with mobile units and police outposts, Razon said.
