One hundred twenty three years — more than a century of delivering news, shaping minds, and fully informing the nation.
The resilience of the Manila Bulletin can be traced back to its strong foundation and storied history. The first issue came out on Feb. 2, 1900. Originally a shipping journal, its purpose was to give “the public accurate and reliable shipping and commercial information.” It was set up by Carson C. Taylor, a teacher from Illinois, who had served in the US Army during the Spanish-American War. Taylor and H. G. Farris, editor, constituted the entire staff of the paper.
“In the next century — except for the four years that it was closed by the Japanese during the occupation — the Manila Bulletin came out every day.” A minor interruption happened during the declaration of Martial Law in 1972. Even with constraints during that time, the paper was able to thrive and stay true to the tenets of journalism.
After the People Power Revolution, the paper flourished, retaining its preeminent position as the “exponent of Philippine progress” and “the Philippines’ leading national newspaper.” This was the time, around 1989, when Bulletin Today was renamed the Manila Bulletin.
