AFAIK, FRS tranceivers need to be certified by the NTC to make sure that they're within the frequencies allocated by them for free service. These are listed above. The trouble is, there is no international standard, so some FRS tranceivers bought outside the country may be in violation of the frequency assignment here in the Philippines. Take note also of the maximum power spec.....

Ayos ah ... 2.5 watts maximum sa Pilipinas? In most countries it's a lot less. From its name I'm assuming SRRS isn't limited to handheld radios, but still limited to direct contacts.
