For the past two weeks I’ve been using the Manila and Negros Occidental remote webSDRs to survey Filipino broadcasters on the mediumwave band in both locations. In Manila it was noted that DWDD Armed Forces Radio (aka Katropa Radyo) is no longer heard on mediumwave, being untraced on its former frequency of 1134kHz or elsewhere on the band. DZUP University Radio was also absent on 1602kHz, but this may possibly due to their low power (1 kW) and/or them possibly broadcasting only on specific school days. Here are my observations using the Manila receiver:
531 DZBR Bible Radio, Manila
558 DZXL RMN, Makati
594 DZBB Super Radyo, Quezon City
630 DWPM Radyo 630, Quezon City
666 DZRH MBC, Pasay
684 DWJJ 684, Cabanatuan
702 DZAS FEBC, Pasig
