Editorial policy
Readers plan real trips with our guides, so accuracy matters. Here is how we work.
Last updated 14 November 2026.
Research
We check facts against official sources first: the Department of Tourism, the Bureau of Immigration, PAGASA (the national weather service), provincial and city tourism offices, transport operators and the official websites of parks, churches and museums.
Each guide lists its key sources at the bottom so you can check them yourself. Where only secondary sources exist, we say so on the page.
Where sources disagree, such as visitor numbers or the height of a waterfall, we say “about” or “approximately” and use the official figure where one exists. Opinion pages are labelled as our editorial opinion.
Writing and AI tools
We use AI tools to help with research and first drafts. A person then reviews, fact-checks and edits every guide before it is published, and we take responsibility for everything on the site. We never use AI-generated images of real places.
Updates
Each guide shows the date it was last updated. We only change that date when we change something in the guide. We review popular guides regularly and before each travel season, especially anything involving prices, opening hours, transport, entry rules or typhoon-season advice.
Independence
Our recommendations are our own. The site has no affiliate partners or advertisers at the moment. If that changes, they will not see or approve our content before publication. See our affiliate disclosure.
Written for every visitor
Our guides are written for travellers from anywhere in the world. Where rules depend on your nationality, such as visas, we point you to the official source for your passport.
