DZRH (666 kHz Metro Manila) is a radio station owned and operated by the Manila Broadcasting Company. The station’s studio is located at CCP Complex in Pasay City. The station was set up in 1939 by the Heacock Company and was originally located along Escolta, the commercial center of Manila during the American occupation.
Other sources say the first test studios were located at the port area of Manila. In 1941, when the Second World War broke out, DZRH was commandeered by the US armed forces to become the Voice of the Philippines, which broadcast pro-democracy propaganda until the fall of Corregidor in 1942.
When the war ended, the Elizalde family took the reins and founded what is now called the Manila Broadcasting Company. At present, DZRH is considered as one of the top stations in the AM band in Metro Manila and is recognized as the oldest commercial radio station in the Philippines.
It now broadcasts nationwide thru an array of relay stations, each with its own frequency, re-broadcasting the national feed from satellite. DZRH can also be heard on the internet.
The station has two websites, http://dzrh.tripod.com/ and http://www.dzrh.com.ph/. Through these websites, the station has become a pioneer in the use of various interactive features - a live chatroom where listeners can feed comments to the station in real-time, two modes of VOIP that can be used to call the station and participate in open-line discussions, and an online discussion forum called “Damdaming Bayan Online”. A sizeable number of listeners from all the over the globe now make up the DZRH Global Community, which is maintaining the listener website as a means of interconnecting, and somehow taking part in the preservation of the Filipino culture.

Hello,
Mayor & Pangga, pakitanong naman po sa COMELEC kung ano status ng ABC partylist. Nakakadismaya naman na naiproklama na, tapos bigla na lang babawiin. Ano bang klaseng COMELEC yan? Sana pakibigyan pansin nio Mayor and Pangga. Salamat
