philstar.com is a news and infotainment portal especially designed for the Filipino Global Community. Our goal is simple: to keep Filipinos (wherever in the world they may be) in tune with the events taking place in the Philippines, in sync with the needs and trends of the times, and in touch with the rest of the world.
Launched in March 1997 as the Internet presence of The Philippine STAR – one of the country's leading English broadsheets – it experienced a rebirth in August 2000, when it was re-launched as the mega-portal for the Filipino Global Community, and then again in June 2005, when it underwent its latest makeover.
