The Manila Times
The Manila Times, founded in 1898, is the Philippines' oldest continuously published English-language daily. Owned by businessman Dante 'Klink' Ang and his family, it covers national politics, business, and regional affairs; media-bias assessments such as Media Bias/Fact Check classify it as right-of-center, and it was broadly supportive of the Duterte administration.

Is The Manila Times left-leaning, right-leaning or centrist?
The Manila Times is generally regarded as right-leaning in its editorial orientation, according to widely cited media-bias assessments of the Philippines' press. Crosswire groups Philippines outlets into left, center and right so you can read the same day's events from more than one vantage point: seeing The Manila Times beside outlets of a different orientation makes editorial choices — which stories lead, which framing is used, what gets omitted — far easier to spot than reading any single source alone.
Leanings shown on Crosswire are approximate editorial orientations drawn from widely cited media-bias assessments (such as AllSides, Ad Fontes Media and Media Bias/Fact Check) and from each outlet's reputation. They are offered to help you read the same story from different perspectives — not as definitive or exhaustive judgements. Where a confident rating was unavailable, an outlet is shown as centrist.
