The Manila Times
Philippine right-center
The Manila Times is the oldest extant English-language newspaper in the Philippines, owned by the Ang family through Manila Times Publishing Corporation. Its editorial line sits right-of-center by Philippine standards, with a documented pro-establishment tilt and a record of favorable coverage toward sitting Philippine governments. As a Philippine outlet, its coverage of the U.S. Trump administration is largely factual and peripheral, focused on how U.S. policy affects the Philippines rather than taking a domestic American political stance.
Owned byManila Times Publishing Corporation, controlled by the Ang family; founded under current ownership by the late Dante Ang Sr. (died May 5, 2026); day-to-day operations remain under Ang family stewardship
