A wider perspective,
closer to home.

Orient Gazette is a digital magazine about the people, culture, ideas, and everyday life of the Philippines and Southeast Asia. The Philippines is our starting point; the region is our continuing horizon.

What we’re building

A weekly flagship story, considered profiles, cultural reporting, criticism, and essays. We aim to explain context, hear people in their own words, and distinguish reporting from opinion and sponsored content.

Editorial direction

Jaime Delos Reyes · Editor in Chief

Our first stories

Our opening edition introduces the places, people, and ideas we want to explore. Some pieces describe reporting we plan to pursue; they do not claim completed interviews or fieldwork.
