Editorial standards

Discover Pampanga is a guide to eating, exploring, staying and experiencing Pampanga. We want every listing to be something you can act on, so accuracy comes before volume.

How we research

We gather facts from primary sources first: official business websites and pages, tourism offices, local government sites and event organizers. Reputable publications and booking platforms are secondary sources. Community posts help us discover places but are never treated as proof on their own.

Human review

We use software, including AI tools, to help find, organize and draft information. Nothing is published until an editor has reviewed it. We never publish invented prices, hours, reviews, awards, quotes or availability.

Keeping things current

Listings are re-checked on a schedule: events as their date approaches, restaurants and hotels every one to two months. When we show “last verified”, it reflects a real check. If a place closes, we mark it rather than quietly deleting it.

Advertising and affiliate links

Some links earn us a commission, and some businesses pay for featured placement. Paid placements are always labelled as Sponsored or Featured. Payment never buys an Editor's Pick or a better position in search results.

Corrections

If something is wrong, please use the “Suggest a correction” link on any page. Owners can claim their business listing to keep contact details and hours up to date.
