Our Story
Founded by Filipinos in the diaspora, The Archipelago Press is a San Diego-based startup
travel publication that spotlights the Philippines’ rich heritage through transportive, cross-
cultural stories and photography that honor not just the archipelago’s natural beauty but also
its layered truths and the oft-unseen people behind them.
In an era of clickbait and short-form content, the press returns to the art of storytelling and
experiential travel guides to shed light on the Philippine traditions, places, people, and
puzzle pieces tucked behind glossy pages.
More than mere jump-off points to leisure, we view the place as a thoroughfare that bridges
culture and meaning; a living narrative that roots readers in the familiar feeling of home –
whether they’re spectators, vagabonds, or long-time dwellers.
Through our weekly newspaper and monthly magazine, we bring readers inside the soul of
the country — one island, one archipelagic voice at a time.
