    History

    edit

    Under Jose Burgos, Jr.

    edit

    The newspaper's name was derived from the Filipino word that means "free". In 1981, Malaya was founded by Jose Burgos, Jr.[3] as a weekly, and later daily written in the Tagalog language. It eventually began publishing content in English language in 1983, when President Ferdinand Marcos closed down WE Forum, a sister publication of Malaya. It continued to fight the administration of Marcos during its last years in power. During the events that lead to Marcos' ouster, Malaya published one million copies daily, a feat never been done before in the history of newspaper publishing in the Philippines.[4]

    Among the journalists who wrote for Malaya during this time included[5] Chuchay Fernandez, Joel Paredes, Chit Simbulan, Ellen Tordesillas, Rita Festin, Desiree Carlos, Joel Saracho, and Estelita "Esty" Juco.[6]

    Under Amado Macasaet

    edit

    After the EDSA Revolution, Amado P. Macasaet, veteran journalist and then Business Editor of Malaya, became the new owner of Malaya. Macasaet also owned two tabloids, Abante and Abante Tonite.
