Eighteen thousand four hundred rigorously sourced articles on the country's 7,641 islands, 175 ethnolinguistic groups, and the people, dishes, revolutions, and languages that hold them together — every one reviewed by a Filipino editor within the last eighteen months.
Every entry sits under one of seven editorial branches. Each branch is curated by a subject-matter editor and reviewed on a rolling 18-month cycle — the fastest refresh window of any Philippine reference platform.
2,841 entries on the archipelago — geography, ecology, municipal profiles, and the small islands most reference works skip.
Heroes, writers, revolutionaries, scientists, artists, and living public figures — 4,612 biographical entries with citations to primary sources.
From the Laguna copperplate inscription to the 1986 People Power revolution — 3,204 entries tracing the archival record.
1,938 entries on regional dishes, ingredients, techniques, and the cooks and cookbooks behind them — including the lesser-known provincial kitchens.
Festivals, literature, music, visual art, theater, cinema, and faith practices — 2,488 entries that treat regional culture as headline material.
Grammars, dictionaries, oral literature, and orthographies for the 175 ethnolinguistic groups — 1,604 entries with audio where available.
1,715 entries on the 82 provinces and 1,634 municipalities — geography, demographics, local government, and economy.

Our headline entry on Batanes is what a WikiPhilippines article looks like when it is allowed to breathe. Geography and climate. Ivatan language and oral literature. The stone houses of Itbayat and the seafaring tradition of the Batanes islands. The 2013 displacement and recovery. Each section written by a separate subject editor, fact-checked against NHCP, PSA, and NAMRIA sources, and reviewed by at least two Filipino editors before publication.
Every entry passes our 18-month refresh cycle. These three were published or substantively revised in the last 30 days — proof that the corpus is alive, not archived.
A six-month editorial project to weigh the 1898 documents against the post-1945 autobiographies. Result: a single, dated, sourced timeline — and an end to the decade of contradictions between encyclopedias.
Read the entry →Twelve regional variants, from the coconut-milk heavy Albay original to the dried-taro version cooked in Camarines Norte. With the 2024 municipal agricultural data and a glossary of the local terms that do not appear in English-language cookbooks.
Read the entry →Two months before the 39th anniversary, our history desk rebuilt the February 1986 election timeline from COMELEC records, contemporaneous press accounts, and twelve newly released diplomatic cables. Cross-linked to 41 related entries.
