	The Manila Short Wave Project Begins - 1992 Initial discussions on extending FEBC's broadcasts and increasing the strength of the signals in key target countries of Asia were begin in and before 1988.  Conceptual planning was undertaken in fits and starts with real plans for implementation coming together around 1992. What became the SAVE project and Redemption Phase I, II, and II, was initiated as "Manila Short Wave Project" or MSWP.  The initial project  works included installing generators, vital due to constant brownouts in those days, and one new transmitter at FEBC's Bocaue, Philippines International Transmission Site. Work Continues as Project S.A.V.E. Southeast Asia Voice of Evangelism Following this small beginning the earthworks, roadworks, piles, and foundations for the antennas were built and the towers were erected.  By 1999 the process of erecting the antennas was under way.  The antenna erection work continued through into the spring of 2000.   Following the antenna erection a 1.5KM long series of transmission lines and supports wee erected to bring the shortwave radio signals from the transmitters to the antennas. Work Continues as Project Redemption, Phases I, II, and III. After completeion of the antenna array and transmission lines, the work started in Manila Short Wave Project was resumed in the Bocaue transmitter building.  A complete remodeling was performed to provide filtered and air conditioned air to support new 100KW Continental Transmitters.  Two new transmitters were installed, the transmitter installed in '92 was upgraded, and a transmitter was moved from FEBC's Saipan International Transmission Site was relocated to Bocaue and upgraded.  At completeion Bocaue had a new building, infrastructure, power system, and four modern 100KW short wave trasmitters.
