DYAP (765 AM), formerly known as Radyo Patrol, was a radio station owned and operated by ABS-CBN Corporation. The station's studio and transmitter were located at the ABS-CBN Broadcast Center, Mabini St. cor. Valencia St., Brgy. Masipag, Puerto Princesa.[1] [2]

Established in 1965 as DYPR, it is the pioneer station in Palawan. It was formerly owned by Palawan Broadcasting Corporation until 2011 with affiliations from RMN Networks, when it was acquired by ABS-CBN and rebranded as Radyo Patrol.[3] [4] [5] Since then, the former staff of DYPR established DZIP.[6]

On May 5, 2020, the station suspended its broadcasting activities, following the cease-and-desist order issued by the National Telecommunications Commission due to the expiration of ABS-CBN's legislative license to operate. On May 8, 2020, most of its programming resumed via online feed.[7]
