General Radio Discussions / Moving to Phillippines

Last post by KD9TTB - Nov 15, 2022, 04:04 AM

Hi,

I came across this forum while looking for information about operating from the Philippines. We are planning on retiring in the Philippines in the next few years and will probably travel there at least a few times before that. I currently have a General class license in the US. I know I can get a temporary license issued but am not sure about how long that would be good for. So I do have a few questions I would appreciate it if someone could clue me in.

1) Long term we are looking at getting permanent residency in the Philippines. My wife is Balikbayan and will most likely get her citizenship back. Is it possible for me to take the tests and get a permanent license?
2) Are transceivers and other equipment easily available in the Philippines and/or is it better to ship or bring my own equipment? Is US compliant radios OK?
3) It sounds like you need a license to have radios in the Philippines unlike in the US where you only need the license to transmit. Is this true? Do you have to notify someone every time you acquire or sell a transceiver?

Thanks for any help.

Operating procedures for radio volunteers in times of emergencies, disasters, and calamities, as outlined and defined by the National Telecommunications Commission

I have been looking for SOPs for traffic handling and management during emergencies, and this document seems to be the best reference. You can find this from the NTC Website: Memorandum Order 05–09–2012.

I am also including MO 04–09–2012: Establishment of an emergency radio and communications protocol for MMDRRMC.

This also references OPLAN Metro Yakal or the Metro Manila Earthquake Contingency Plan.

This may be timely, especially given the magnitude 7.0 earthquake that hit Abra in Northern Luzon on July 27, 2022.
