I made an under investigation on this article. I visit the area of Batangas, and I confirmed that this station is not existed. Also ABS-CBN didn't announced anything regards to this so it's clearly a hoax. Hamham31 Heke!KushKush! 06:01, 22 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I was traveling around Philippines, and I didn't heard this station yet especially DYPE, so my judgement for this - Delete it!, I'm back!. Shanayujilover (talk) 07:48, 22 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete. Google searching on the callsign practically leads back to here, and any other mention turns up a similarly-named but different station in another province. Blake Gripling (talk) 09:12, 22 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Go off the air - I am from Batangas City, and I can confirm that we have a local affiliate of ABS-CBN (the channel) based here. However, there is no such radio station with the frequency 92.7 (the most popular here are Bay Radio 104.7, Spirit FM 99.1, 99.9 and 91.9), and if there was, I would be listening to it and it would be rather popular, considering it would be an ABS affiliate. I would have opted for a speedy deletion as G3, but since the article's been around for a while, it's not a blatant enough hoax. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 11:13, 22 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, leaning towards WP:CSD#G3. Google searches link to Botswana water development links (completely unrelated), and none mentioning the station itself. hmssolent\^{You rang?} _{ship's log} 01:32, 23 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. This article appears to be a hoax. Andrew³²⁷ 13:54, 23 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - In order to verify if the station existed, I tuned in to 92.7 FM yesterday. A station with that frequency does exist, however the sound quality was a little poor, which generally indicates the station is not from the local area; in fact, just now, I looked up 92.7, and my search suggests that a station with that frequency is actually based in Lucena, Quezon, although it could be a different station since the program I heard yesterday had the radio anchors mostly reporting about news, like most Filipino AM stations (I did not listen long enough to verify the name of the station I listened to or from where it's based).
