Editorial standards
Trust is everything for a local publication. These are the rules we follow for every story we publish.
Last updated: October 18, 2026
We never charge a business for a spotlight, a mention in a guide or a place on a list. Owners don't approve or edit our stories before they are published, though we may check facts with them.
If we ever publish paid content, it will be clearly marked Sponsored at the top of the article and wherever it is listed. Paid content never appears in our guides.
We feature businesses based in or serving Pampanga that have a story worth telling: how they started, what they make, or what they add to their town. Readers and owners can suggest a business through our Get Featured form.
Requirements, fees and deadlines in our guides come from official sources such as the DTI, the BIR and local government offices, and we link to those sources. Business details are confirmed with the owner. When rules change, we update the guide and the date it was last checked.
If we get something wrong, we fix it and add a note at the end of the article saying what changed. To report a mistake, email hello@pampangabusiness.com with the article link and what needs fixing.
If we have a business relationship with a business we write about, such as building its website, the article says so.
We use AI tools to help research and draft. A person checks every fact and edits every article before it is published.
