PINAS FM: Until recently, a radio station operating in Metro Manila and beamed nationwide played nothing but Original Pilipino Music throughout the day DWDM-FM, previously known as 95.5 Pinas FM, had been the best thing that happened to OPM in recent years. It went one step higher than that Presidential Decree issued by former President Ferdinand Marcos which required the mandatory airing of 4 OPM songs every hour, on the hour, on all radio stations nationwide back in the late 1970s.
The order was later reinstated by President Corazon Aquino in 1987 through Presidential Decree 255 with more or less the same specifications.
