After being awarded by the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines last year as the Best Independent Online News Outfit for its innovation in media, The Philippine Business and News (THEPHILBIZNEWS) has once again been recognized—this time by Feedspot as one of the Top 20 Investment Websites in the Philippines.
“We are truly honored by this recognition from Feedspot,” said Monsi Alfonso Serrano, founder of THEPHILBIZNEWS.
“We may be a micro media outfit, but our commitment to serve remains macro in scale. We will continue to champion responsible business journalism and serve as a bridge between local industries, foreign investors, and the Filipino people,” he added.
Serrano said the publication’s approach to news is mission-driven.
“We never set out to chase accolades. Since our humble beginnings in 2008, our north star has always been public service—informing, educating, and advocating for good business practices. The digital space may be crowded, but it’s also a great equalizer. And we use every platform available to bring credible, relevant, and values-driven content to our readers,” he said.
THEPHILBIZNEWS’ unique editorial mix, under the banner “Business is Our Forte,” spans a wide content portfolio that goes beyond traditional business news. It includes reporting on entrepreneurship, energy, international diplomacy, education, lifestyle, tourism, technology, and agriculture, among others.
“We are grateful to our readers, advocacy partners, and stakeholders who continuously support our work. As we move forward, we remain committed to being a reliable compass for entrepreneurs, decision-makers, and anyone seeking thoughtful insight into the Philippine business environment,” Serrano said.
He also expressed deep appreciation for partnerships forged with diplomatic missions and chambers of commerce in the country.
“We are privileged to collaborate with embassies and business chambers that share our vision for inclusive economic growth and stronger global ties.”
Serrano concluded with a heartfelt nod to his lean but passionate editorial team and to Mr. Anuj Agarwal, founder of Feedspot.
“This recognition validates our silent work, done without fanfare but with full integrity and devotion. We share this honor with our team, our partners, and every reader who believes in what we do,” he said.
