About Us

Samar News.com is a privately-run online news platform based in Catbalogan City, devoted to delivering timely updates and relevant stories from Samar and the entire Region 8 to the Waray people across the globe.

Established online in May 2003, Samar News.com has become a reliable source of news and information for people from Region 8 worldwide. It has also actively participated in advocacy programs aimed at the development of Samar province.

Embracing mobile technology, the site expanded in 2013 with a dedicated mobile version to make news more accessible on the go.

Beyond traditional news reporting, Samar News.com offers entertainment features such as music from local and international artists, video coverages, and even movies.
