## About

In the Philippine Daily Inquirer's Manila newsroom, the editorial pace runs to one of the country's largest English broadsheets, with daily coverage of Philippine politics, economy, conflict and ASEAN affairs filed across both print and digital formats. The paper has navigated Duterte-era pressure, Marcos-era political shifts and the country's polarised press environment with editorials that have generally maintained centrist framing on national topics. Its scale and family ownership distinguish it from establishment competitors.

## Profile

- **Ownership:** Privately owned by the Prieto-Rufino family through Philippine Daily Inquirer Inc.
- **Funding:** Subscription, advertising and digital revenue
- **Focus areas:** Philippine politics, economy, conflict, social issues, ASEAN affairs; major English broadsheet with national reach


## What the position means

TOLD classifies what an outlet publishes over time, based on ownership, funding
and focus. It describes a pattern; it is not a rating of quality and not a
ranking. Nothing in TOLD sorts, hides or promotes a source by its position.
State-aligned and partisan outlets are in the catalogue on purpose, labelled.
