Editorial standards for Philippine lotto news (on this site)
We are not a newsroom in the traditional sense, but we still make editorial choices. This page documents them so readers and reviewers can see intent beyond aggregation.
1) We link out; we do not replace publishers
Headlines should open on the original publisher. Our value is discovery and framing for a lotto-interested audience — not copying full article text.
2) Selection is a bias — disclosed
Keyword filters and source lists create a biased sample by design. That bias is meant to improve relevance, but it also means we are not comprehensive news coverage of the Philippines.
3) Metadata can be imperfect
Authors and images are best-effort extractions from publisher pages and feeds. If metadata is wrong, the underlying article may still be correct — readers should judge the destination page, not our card.
4) Verification beats speed
For suspensions, legal directives, or safety advisories, we would rather be slow than wrong. Official PCSO channels win every tie-break.
