Our Core Values
- Accuracy: We are committed to the accuracy of the information we report. Our team of journalists and writers ensures that every story is thoroughly researched, fact-checked, and verified before publication.
- Fairness: We strive to present all sides of a story to offer a balanced perspective. We do not favor any political party, individual, or ideology, and our reporting is free from bias.
- Objectivity: Our editorial team remains neutral and impartial, ensuring that our reporting is not influenced by personal opinions or external pressures.
- Transparency: We believe in openness with our readers. When necessary, we disclose the sources of our information and acknowledge any potential conflicts of interest.
Editorial Independence
Pinoy Perspective is an independent platform. Our editorial decisions are made solely based on journalistic standards, not influenced by advertisers, sponsors, or external organizations. We take pride in maintaining editorial control to ensure that our content serves the public interest.
Content Guidelines
- Reliability of Sources: We rely on reputable and credible sources for our news stories. We ensure that all sources are verified, and where possible, we use primary sources.
- Fact-Checking: All articles undergo a fact-checking process before publication. We prioritize accuracy and take corrective action if errors are found after publication.
- No Plagiarism: We respect intellectual property and ensure that all our content is original or properly attributed. Any references to external content will be cited clearly.
- Respect for Privacy: We respect the privacy of individuals and handle personal information with care. We will not publish any content that invades an individual’s privacy unless it is of significant public interest.
- Sensitivity to Cultural Contexts: We are mindful of the diverse and rich cultural landscape of the Philippines. We avoid content that could be seen as offensive, discriminatory, or harmful to any group.
Corrections and Updates
We strive for accuracy in every article we publish. If a mistake is identified after publication, we will correct it promptly. Corrections will be clearly marked, and the original content will be updated with accurate information.
Opinion and Commentary
While Pinoy Perspective focuses on delivering factual reporting, we also feature opinion pieces and commentary that reflect diverse viewpoints. These pieces will be clearly labeled as Opinion and are the views of the individual writers, not the editorial team. Readers are encouraged to engage with these pieces critically and respectfully.
Advertiser and Sponsored Content
While we accept advertising and sponsored content, we maintain a clear distinction between editorial content and advertisements. Sponsored content will be clearly labeled, and we ensure that it does not influence the news or editorial process.
Engagement with Readers
We value reader engagement and encourage constructive feedback, comments, and discussions. However, we have a zero-tolerance policy for hate speech, harassment, or any form of discriminatory behavior. We reserve the right to moderate comments and block users who violate these standards.
Changes to Our Editorial Policy
Pinoy Perspective reserves the right to modify this editorial policy at any time to reflect changes in our practices, standards, or legal requirements. Any changes will be communicated to our readers through our website.
