The industry is led by the Philippine Daily Inquirer, a broadsheet recognized for investigative reporting, and The Philippine Star, a widely circulated centrist daily. The Manila Bulletin operates as the nation's largest broadsheet and second-oldest continuously published paper, while The Manila Times remains the oldest existing English daily, founded in 1898. Although major national broadsheets are printed in English, mass-market tabloids generally publish in Tagalog, and regional dailies serve hubs in Cebuano.
