DFA Shifts to ISO Initials ‘PH’ and ‘PHL’ from 'RP'
28 October 2010 - The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) and its Foreign Service Posts (FSPs) will use the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) initials PH or PHL when referring to the Philippines, and not anymore “RP”, which is the acronym for the “Republic of the Philippines”.
This is in line with the Philippine membership with the ISO, as well as to avoid the ambiguity and confusion with the use of the initials “RP”.
Ooh. I see. Haha.
Well about time. Even our internet domain name since the birth of the internet was “ph”. Even google says so too. Go ahead, try searching for Philippines-related pages using the RP keyword. You’ll have better results using ph.
