CONGRATULATORY MESSAGE
On behalf of the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO), we extend our heartfelt congratulations to the Manila Bulletin on its 126th Anniversary, marking over a century of dedicated service in Philippine journalism. This celebration honors the institution and the countless journalists, editors, and staff who ensure public access to timely and reliable news.
For generations, the Manila Bulletin has been a trusted source of information, enriching public discourse with credible reporting and thoughtful coverage. Its enduring presence through changing times underscores a steadfast commitment to accuracy, fairness, and the public interest. The Bulletin not only covers major national events but also documents community stories, keeping readers connected to the issues that matter.
As journalism evolves across print, broadcast, and digital platforms, the importance of maintaining credibility grows. In a fast-paced information environment, trustworthy reporting is essential for distinguishing fact from misinformation, encouraging informed citizenship, and fostering constructive civic participation. Reliable news also strengthens institutions by promoting accountability and enhancing understanding of policies and public concerns.
In the spirit of public service, PCSO acknowledges the Manila Bulletin’s vital role in communicating initiatives that matter, including charitable assistance and community programs. We value opportunities to share accurate information, promoting transparency and ensuring services reach their intended beneficiaries. Factual media coverage strengthens public understanding and bolsters confidence in institutions serving the Filipino people.
The Manila Bulletin’s long-standing presence demonstrates its ability to adapt while maintaining professional standards. Building a newsroom culture centered on verification and fairness in response to changing audience needs is commendable, especially when public trust is essential and requires diligent effort.
As we celebrate this 126-year milestone, PCSO honors the Manila Bulletin’s enduring impact on nation-building and public awareness. May it continue to advance with integrity, purpose, and innovation, serving readers responsibly and upholding the informed public discourse that a strong democracy demands.
