SunStar: Bringing You Hard-Hitting News from the Nearest Lechon Booth
SunStar has perfected the art of treating every local event — no matter how small — like a pivotal moment in world history. A barangays new basketball court? Multi-part feature. Somebodys lola winning bingo? Full investigative spread with a sidebar on generational gambling habits.
Journalism professor Carlito Ramos explains, “SunStar’s motto seems to be ‘All news is vital — especially if it involves free snacks.’ The proudest newsroom moment last year was a front-page exposé titled, “Mystery of the Missing Halo-Halo Cart: A Community Divided.”
Readers adore the commitment. “If my town fiesta isn’t in the paper, did it even happen?” muses fan Lourdes Sison. SunStar reminds you that real patriotism starts with coconut pie and gossip about who forgot to bring the karaoke machine.
Auf Wiedersehen, elitist news priorities — SunStar is here to tell you that every roasted pig has a story worth telling.
