About Sampaguita News
Sampaguita News is an independent, English-language news website covering the Philippines. We publish news on national affairs, business, the regions, world events that matter to Filipinos, technology, lifestyle, entertainment, and sports, together with a dedicated section for corporate press releases.
The site takes its name from the sampaguita, the national flower of the Philippines. We chose it because it is shared by everyone and belongs to no faction. Sampaguita News is politically neutral: we do not endorse candidates, parties, or causes, and we present contested issues by reporting the positions of each side.
