Rapport Philippines, formerly known as ManilaChannel.com, was established in 2012. It is an open portal for journalists and content contributors to deliver quality news in the Philippines.
Proprietor—Mr. Bryan Cinco (FMR Technological and Digital Advertising Services)
Bryan R. Cinco is a seasoned web developer, local politician, and search engine optimization specialist based in Leyte, Philippines. He has been engaged in online publishing through his colleagues Aaron Almadro and Ronald Reyes, a respected journalist and editorial personality also based in Leyte.
Bryan previously developed ManilaChannel.com, but later transferred it to a friend, which led to a minor issue in retrieving the domain name. However, driven by his eagerness to create a portal for content contribution, Bryan redeveloped a website called RapportPh.com, designed for student correspondents, online contributors, and professional journalists to publish their gathered news online.
RapportPh.com was built to provide anyone with journalism knowledge the opportunity to publish their content online. Its mission is to amplify each post for a wider readership. The site is non-commercial in nature; however, we accept donations to support our endeavor and sustain our operations as a free publication platform.
