Circumstances surrounding the establishment of club radio stations in the Philippines (2026/03/17)

I looked into how to obtain a call sign for an amateur radio club station and set up a station in the Philippines.
1. First, gather at least 15 license holders.

2. A minimum of one Class A holder is required.

3. Registration with the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) (Most Important):
We will register the club as a corporation under the name 'Non-profit organization'.
 https://www.sec.gov.ph/
Online applicationhttps://esparc.sec.gov.ph/application-one-sec/

4. Certification by NTC:
After registering with the SEC, we will apply to the NTC for accreditation as an amateur radio club.

5. Joining PARA (Philippine Amateur Radio League)

6. Apply to the NTC for a call sign (Club Station License):
As a certified club, we will apply for a station license and call sign.
The cost is around 2500 pesos.

It's common to hire a lawyer to register with the SEC, and apparently, legal fees cost around 15,000 pesos.

The total budget is said to be around 25,000 pesos (approximately 66,000 yen).

 
He has obtained the club station call sign DX9KRT.

First of all Registration with the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission). It is required.

That was the most expensive part.
To expedite the process I'll hire a law firm. I did.

However, in reality It is also possible to handle the procedures yourselves. That's what I heard.
In that case Having connections with the SEC is important. That's what I was told.

By registering the club name,
The organization It is recognized as an official organization in the Philippines. This will result in...

Then, attach the SEC registration documents.
We applied to the NTC (National Communications Commission) to establish the club. I submitted it.

And finally,
Between the club and the NTC Signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOA). We did that.

 
I hesitantly contacted SEC via chat.
We are an amateur radio club, a non-profit, non-stock company.
The organization has 15 members, an annual membership fee of 600 pesos, and no capital.
How much is the registration fee with the SEC?

For non-profit, non-stock organizations, the registration fee is...It is fixed at 500 pesos..
Stamp duty and other fees (if applicable) must also be considered.


What is the estimated cost of stamp duty and fees?

For non-profit, non-stock organizations, the stamp duty is usually a minimum of 15 pesos,
plus a legal review fee of 1% of the application fee.
Depending on the specific document requirements, additional incidental fees may apply.


Do you have a template for articles of incorporation?

Yes, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) provides articles of incorporation
templates for non-profit organizations and nonprofit corporations on its official website.
For downloadable forms tailored to your needs, please check the SEC portal directly.


Where can I download templates for non-profit organizations? Please provide the URL.

Unfortunately, there is no direct download URL for the template.
For standard templates for non-profit organizations, please visit the SEC's official website.

Please provide the email address of our support team..

For inquiries to the support team, please contact us by email at epd@sec.gov.ph.
I then sent an email to the support team.
I'm waiting for a reply, but it's possible that I might be able
to register it for less than 1000 pesos without hiring a lawyer.
Dear SEC Support Team,

My name is Kouichi Ueno, and I am living in Ozamiz City.

I am planning to establish an amateur radio club.
I was informed by the NTC that registration with the SEC as a non-profit
organization is required in order to register the club.

Therefore, I would like to kindly request if you could provide me with a
sample template of the Articles of Incorporation (bylaws) required for
Non-profit registration.

Thank you very much for your assistance.

Sincerely,
Kouichi Ueno
