Phil Headlines brings the latest headlines from the Philippines' newspapers, TV networks and regional papers into one timeline, grouped by the hour they were published. • Hour by hour: the newest stories first, under "This hour", "4 PM", "Yesterday"… • Topics: Nation, Business, Sports, Showbiz, World, Tech, Lifestyle, Regions, Opinion, Health and Politics. • Pick a publisher: filter the timeline to one source in a tap. • You choose: turn any source on or off in the Sources tab — national, business, sports, regional, Filipino-language and Filipinos-abroad news. • Add your own RSS feeds: paste the link of any news feed; it is read straight on your device. • Save stories for later, and search headlines and summaries. • Offline: the headlines and summaries you last downloaded stay on screen without internet. • No account and no sign-in. Your settings and saved stories stay on your device. • Redesigned for iPhone and iPad, with dark mode. Stories belong to their publishers. The app shows the headline, a short summary and the photo published in their public RSS feeds; tap any story to read it in full on the publisher's website. Phil Headlines is not affiliated with the publishers it links to. The app is free with ads in the news list. A one-time "Remove Ads" purchase removes them.
