OneNETnews EXCLUSIVE: An Illegal FM Radio Stations in Negros Oriental will soon to be Phased Out for Good from the NTC Region VII
DUMAGUETE, NEGROS ORIENTAL -- The National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) bares allegedly listed to almost 15 local radio stations in Negros Oriental-wide. A local radio News Reporter and a Station Manager of DYMD-FM 93.7mhz's Energy FM: Dumaguete was first reported during a news radio programme called "Energy Balita Numero Uno with Syril Repe", with a little help from our Research Team and a Radyo Patrol #2 reporter (Kimi Sparkle) of OneNETnews.
During a monthly informative virtual meeting of Kapisanan ng mga Broadkaster sa Pilipinas (KBP) Dumaguete-NegOr Chapter, the head of National Telecommunications Commission (NTC)-Negros Oriental’s Engr. Felipe "Dong" Gumalo was exclusively invited him a Zoom meeting last Wednesday afternoon by March 17th, 2021. He was received an important paperwork from last week on his regional office first.
As it turns out for this result, there will be 2 of the alleged illegal radio stations are scheduled to be phased out for good, facing an FM broadcast closure under a Cease and Desist (C&D) order. Based from this said virtual meeting, one of the personal concerns in the province raised by the Station Managers themselves on free radio broadcasting by the ownership.
In a media-affiliated exclusive radio interview to DYMD-FM 93.7mhz's Energy FM: Dumaguete as Florence Baesa spoked with Engr. Gumalo told OneNETnews, these less than 15 illegal radio stations are listed. Equivalently, 3 of the regional FM radio stations are closed down by the following areas if you're in Jimalalud, Tanjay and Bayawan; while others are subject to be complied for a Provisional Authority to secure a regional radio franchise in your neck of the woods.
Here are the following illegal FM radio stations to be partially or unofficially identified in alphanumeric province order, as provided a documented copy to the media (from our Research Team of OneNETnews, as detected from the resources & references in a radio logos from Facebook, YouTube & Google Images):
*(no callsign) 94.5mhz - Easy Radio: Canlaon
*(no callsign) 100.5mhz - Radyo Bandera: Sweet FM Canlaon

*(no callsign) 103.1mhz - Air FM: Tanjay
*DYST-FM 103.8mhz - OneHeartRadio Tanjay
and
*DYDR-FM 102.5mhz - Hot FM: Bayawan
Other FM Station frequency dials and radio names from this mentioning affected list are rarely unknown if you're both in Guihulngan and Siaton together.
Not only these illegal FM radio stations, the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) warns for a "fly-by-night" side-talk format in the province of Negros Oriental that will be regionally runs a campaign for 2022 as a paid blocktime programme. During the election as unfortunate, in censoring possibly the propaganda FM station whether if you're preparing for a local or the regional politican in advance like Lani Ramon for example... it's best to take the FM station down (even the broadcast towers too), which is currently not to be fitted for a KBP member, the radio-sponsored programme or maybe both; as Engr. Gumalo adds.
NTC Region VII's legal officer named Atty. Felix Macaraya says, the KBP cannot act as a regulatory body on most several non-member FM radio stations. It is strictly required for a certification FIRST, versus a person provides a legitimate evidence that supports for a complete complainant and a letter. KBP has it's own standards committee, while the NTC gives the power to promulgate sets of standards between the free TV & Radio that includes from a Program and Technical Standards under the Memorandum Circular No.: 03-04-85.
The Kapisanan ng mga Broadkaster sa Pilipinas (KBP)-Local Chapter are advised to carefully monitor a local FM radio station in Negros Oriental and seek the attention to yourself as listeners or in physical location by the suspicion to file a report to a nearest officials and/or authorities in the Central Office as much effective immediately. Low power stations in some areas for the unlicensed FM radio stations below the watts power count are OK, in referencing from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in America, in subject for a permission first to authorize. They'll handle an investigative review within more than a day from your complainant upon determine if one or more FM radio station in your community is illegal for now.
As for the illegal FM radio stations like this in Negros Oriental, this maybe an early final radio broadcast before the handcuffs = permanently dead air to silence like nothing else in jail.
