You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.236.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 06:21, 30 September 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''DWFO''' (87.5 [[FM broadcast band|FM]]), broadcasting as '''87.5 Republika FM1''', is a [[radio station]] owned and operated by the [[Philippine Broadcasting Service|Presidential Broadcast Service]], the broadcast arm of the [[Presidential Communications Group (Philippines)|Presidential Communications Group]]. Its studios and transmitter are located at the 4th Floor, Philippine Information Agency Building, Visayas Ave., [[Quezon City]]. The station operates on terrestrial radio Mondays to Sundays from 5:00 AM to 12:00 MN, while it operates 24 hours a day on its online platforms.

==History==
===Prior history===
Prior to the PBS's acquisition, the [[Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster ng Pilipinas]] (KBP) asked the [[National Telecommunications Commission (Philippines)|National Telecommunications Commission]] (NTC) to reserve the said frequency for local campuses (including [[Angelicum College]], where they own the said frequency under the call letters DWAC-FM) due to multiple reports that some others will use the latter frequency for commercial purposes.<ref>((cite news | title=KBP ASKS NTC TO RESERVE FM RADIO FREQUENCY FOR SCHOOLS | date=September 16, 2015 | url =http://www.kbp.org.ph/kbp-asks-ntc-to-reserve-fm-radio-frequency-for-schools | publisher=[[Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster ng Pilipinas]] | access-date = January 25, 2017 ))</ref> Also, a few religious and community groups (such as [[Jehovah's Witnesses]]) operated the frequency with a low-powered signal enough to cover its main target area.

===Acquisition by PBS===
Radio veteran Rizal "Bong" Aportadera, Jr. (Sonny B) was appointed by [[Presidential Communications Operations Office]] (PCOO) Sec. [[Martin Andanar]] as the Director General of the [[Philippine Broadcasting Service]] (PBS) in July 2016.

In an official statement by Andanar, PBS acquired the 87.5&nbsp;MHz frequency and was later approved by the [[National Telecommunications Commission (Philippines)|NTC]].<ref name="pbs-875"/><ref>((cite AV media|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkKCSY_TcAQ|title=WATCH: PCOO Year Ender Achievements for 2016|publisher=PTV|website=[[YouTube]]|date=December 9, 2016|access-date=January 26, 2017))</ref><ref>((cite web|url=http://pcoo.gov.ph/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/PCOO-E-Brochure.pdf|title=PCOO E-Brochure|publisher=[[Presidential Communications Group (Philippines)|Presidential Communications Operations Office]]|access-date=June 26, 2017|archive-url=http://webarchive.loc.gov/all/20190307042304/http://pcoo.gov.ph/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/PCOO-E-Brochure.pdf|archive-date=March 7, 2019|url-status=dead))</ref>

On November 1, 2017, FM1 began its test broadcast at 1:00 am. A few days later, the station's DJs (mostly former DJs of [[DWLL|Mellow 947]] and [[Tiger 22 Media Corporation|Tiger22]]'s stations [[DWRT-FM|99.5 Play FM]], [[DWAV|Wave 89.1]], [[DWJM|Jam 88.3]], [[DWTM|Magic 89.9]] and [[DWKX|103.5 K-Lite]]) identified the frequency under the call sign '''DWFO''', subject to approval from the NTC.

Since November 1, 2017, the station's initial 1&nbsp;kW power increases in two phases: an increase to 10&nbsp;kW by December 28, 2017, then upgraded to 25&nbsp;kW (the maximum licensed nominal power for an FM station) on January 1, 2018. The power increase makes FM1 able to cover [[Mega Manila]] and some surrounding provinces, though the ERP power is currently not at par with FM2 as well as the orientation of the new antenna expected to adjust to provide stable coverage.

FM1 have bared plans for nationwide expansion by launching the first provincial stations, including [[DXRP-FM|FM1 Davao]] which was launched on August 1, 2018 (later moved to 87.9&nbsp;MHz in [[Davao City]], in February 2020), with plans of establishing more stations in [[Cebu City|Cebu]], [[Cagayan de Oro]], [[Bacolod]], [[Iloilo City|Iloilo]], [[Baguio]], [[Bohol]], [[Boracay]], [[General Santos]], [[Laoag]], [[Butuan]], and [[Zamboanga City|Zamboanga]].

On June 12, 2020, in the [[Independence Day (Philippines)|day of the Philippine independence]] at noon, FM1 enhanced its branding as '''REPUBLIKA FM1''', with the slogan ''Radio Republic of the Youth''. The rebranding comes about four months after its sister station [[DWFT|FM2]] was rebranded as '''Capital FM2'''. The rebranding went same for its [[DXRP-FM|station]] in Davao.

On November 14, 2020, FM1 launched ''Weekend Recovery Radio'', a Saturday show that airs music from 3 to 10 years ago, replacing ''Sunday Y2K''.
