Putting out a newspaper is serious business.
But that doesn’t mean it can’t look at the brighter, lighter, even funnier sides of life. That’s what Manila Standard has done over the last three decades through its Sports, Life and Entertainment sections. We have recorded the triumphs and tragedies of athletes, celebrities and noted personalities in the Philippines and around the world. And we’ve done so with a keen eye and a deep respect for what matters to our readers and their discerning tastes.
These sections have captured events that have enthralled Filipinos in the last 30 years, and we continue to amplify the excitement from these events through the efforts of our resourceful and well-informed team of editors and writers.
You can always count on us to keep you abreast of the latest developments in all the major sports, as you follow the PBA, NBA and the alphabet soup of sports leagues here and around the globe.
But our Sports section has frequently ventured off the beaten path to highlight pursuits like horse racing, big game fishing, mixed martial arts, and even the card game Bridge, through our columnists and contributors. This gives us a uniqueness and vibe no other local newspaper can offer.
Our Lifestyle section is no slouch in bringing you the newest in Philippine arts and culture, destinations, the environment, food, fashion and beauty, home and living, pop culture, shopping, travel, wellness, and young life, among other topics. We’ve gone from covering Madonna in her Material Girl years to the millennials that drive trends on social media and our current connected world.
Finally, our Entertainment pages have narrated the rise and fall—and in some cases, reemergence—of local and international stars of show business. The actors, singers, dancers and artists that make our hearts flutter and swoon often find their way into our entertainment editor’s much-anticipated column, and no movie, television or online phenomenon escapes our scrutiny. You can be sure that for the next 30 years or more, when it comes to bringing you the exciting things in life, the editors and writers of Manila Standard’s Sports, Life and Entertainment pages will take their jobs seriously.
