^[1]Nowadays, we can see that there are so many publications out each month and people ask me, did you know that there’s another paper out?  And I would just say, the more the merrier.  There will be more choices for people to pick up a copy of the publication they would prefer to read.  There will be more choices for business establishments to choose where they would advertise their business.  It’s all about choices.  And we leave the choice to the people to decide.  As what I have said, the more, the merrier and we are here to be of service to our Filipino community.

Setting aside all the new publications that are out to the public, please read below WHY PINOY TIMES?

1)       WE’RE LOCAL…….almost 90% of articles are written by our Filipino-Calgarians.  The publisher has been living in Calgary for over 15 years.  We’re not franchised.

2)       WE ARE RELIABLE…….we have never missed an issue – 12 issues for 12 months guaranteed in the 4 quadrants of the City

3)       WE ARE DEPENDABLE …….we do not ignore your phone calls and emails;  we attend to all your inquiries and issues whether you are a reader, advertiser or just happen to see my name and number on the paper

4)       FREE COMMUNITY SERVICE …….GREETINGS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS are FREE OF CHARGE to our Filipino community…..do not hesitate to email us at [email protected]

5)        WE ARE PART OF YOUR COMMUNITY …….JOIN US FOR OUR ANNIVERSARY POTLUCK PICNIC during the summer and JOIN US FOR OUR PASKONG PINOY TIMES during the holiday season……we are the only publication who opens our door to the people!

6)       WE’RE ORIGINAL……NEVER CHANGED OWNERSHIP; NEVER CHANGED NAME.  We’ve maintained to be on a very flat management, still the same publisher from 2008 when we opened our doors to the community; never changed the name so as not to disguise from previous commitments.

7)       LAST BUT NOT THE LEAST, WE ARE HERE TO CATER TO ALL YOUR NEEDS, FOR ADVERTISING QUERIES PLEASE CALL (403) 9752120 AND WE WILL GUARANTEE A VERY DEDICATED LINE TO YOUR BUSINESS!

So if you have a business in Calgary or in Alberta, why a publication that has changed hands and changed name? Why go to a publication that is a franchise, where news are mostly found on the internet and doesn’t apply to our everyday life here in Calgary?

As the saying goes, tangkilin ang sariling atin at magtulungan para sa ikauunlad ng bayan!

MABUHAY ANG PINOY TIMES!
