𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗠𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻

Bring factual, authentic, and genuine news from the grassroots and the people on the ground by Negrosanons and for Negrosanons.

Deliver news free of bureaucracy and shed light on vital issues concerning the island. We cover and tackle stories that give voice to the minorities of our society and share such with the rest of the Philippines and the world.

𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗛𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆

We are a part of Altermidya, a network of progressive and independent media outfits, institutions, and individuals. Paghimutad was founded in the early months of 2019 at the height of Memorandum Order 32 or De-Facto Martial Law in the island as a result of a lack of progressive independent media networks in the area, especially ones dedicated to following human rights violation cases and plight of marginalized groups across Negros Island.

Various volunteer youth journalists passionate in the freedom of truthful expression and love for the free press, along with other independent writers and contributors, that wish to shed light on issues often overlooked by mainstream networks. We may not write often, but we ensure all our stories include historical context and the voices of the Negrosanon masses.

HAPPENING NOW: BACOLOD CITY - Kabataan Party-list Negros is holding its State of the Youth Address (SOYA) 2026 today, August 8, bringing together young people to discuss the pressing issues confronting Filipino youth. Carrying the theme “Lapis o Bala: Pasismo at mga Suliraning Kinakaharap ng Kabataang Pilipino,” the event focuses on fascism and its impact on academic freedom, campus press freedom, students’ rights and welfare, and youth rights.

The SOYA seeks to present a youth-centered assessment of the current situation under the Marcos Jr. administration, particularly issues that the youth say were not sufficiently addressed during the President’s State of the Nation Address last month. Through the “Lapis o Bala” theme, Kabataan Party-list Negros emphasize the role of education, critical thinking, and free expression in confronting repression and defending the rights of young people.

The event also brings together student leaders, campus journalists, and youth activists to share experiences and build a common platform for youth action. A key part of the program is the launching of the Student Alliance for a Liberating Education (SALE), which aims to advance campaigns for academic freedom, students’ rights, and quality, accessible, scientific, and patriotic education.
