Why we publish under one byline
Every FlyPilipinas article carries a single byline: FlyPilipinas Editorial Team. Three reasons.
- Source protection. Several contributors hold sensitive industry contacts — current airline staff, DMW/POEA-side liaisons, OWWA contacts, and in-country recruitment-agency informants in the Gulf. A single byline protects those sources.
- Editorial consistency. One byline reinforces one voice across four registers — OFW-practical, balikbayan-warm, kabayan-family, leisure-outbound — and one set of standards.
- Honest process. Every article passes through author, fact-checker, and a standards editor before publishing. Crediting three editors' work to a single name would misrepresent how the work was actually done.

Editorial standards
- Two-source rule on YMYL topics — visa rules, OFW employment-contract conditions, customs thresholds, balikbayan-box rules. At least one source must be a regulator (CAAP, MIAA, DMW/POEA, OWWA, DFA, Bureau of Customs), or an airline IR filing.
- PHP as base currency with USD shown in parentheses where useful. Format: "₱X,XXX" with proper peso symbol.
- Weekly fare snapshots pulled from the Travelpayouts API — never boilerplate copy. See our methodology page for full data-collection details.
- Philippine English with Tagalog code-switch where it reflects how Filipino readers actually speak. Industry terms (OFW, DMW, OWWA, balikbayan) used as-is.
- Affiliate disclosure on every relevant page — see disclosure.
- No "illegal worker" or "TNT" framing for OFWs in irregular status. No commentary on Philippine domestic politics.
How we work
- Author + fact-checker on different desks. Every article passes through at least two editors before publication; YMYL pieces (visa, DMW rules, compensation claims) go through an additional standards check.
- Dated corrections. Material errors get a public correction note at the top of the article with the date of the change.
- "Last verified" stamp. The date shown on each article reflects when the data sources behind that page were last cross-checked. We do not bump it without an actual re-verification pass.
- No paid placement. Hotel and route reviews carry explicit disclosure when affiliate links are present; airline rankings are not pay-to-play.

What FlyPilipinas is NOT
We are not a travel agency. You book directly through Aviasales, Hotellook, Skyscanner, Trip.com, or Booking.com links; FlyPilipinas earns a small commission at no additional cost to you, which funds our operation without pop-up ads or pay-to-play airline rankings.
