Though I missed monitoring  on December Ist but monitored its English transmission on all the three frequencies on December 2nd and found to be good reception overall on all frequencies
Here is the three recordings..

As far as  I could remember before going off the air due to closing order of United States Agency For Global Media (USAGM)'s transmitter sites including Philippines, it was used to be called as Radio Philipinas World Wide.Anyway, great to note Radio Philipinas World Service is back on shortwave and I hope Radio Thailand World Service will resume its shortwave broadcast again.

That's all for today..

See You Again In New Year...
