Our pledge: To be the vanguard and guardian of truth
Melvin L. Contapay, Publisher and Executive Editor
The word vanguard originates from the Old French “avant-garde,” meaning “advance guard”—the troops who lead the way into new territory and protect the main army from surprise attacks. Our logo symbolizes our dual pledge: to be both the Vanguard that leads the way and the Guardians who protect the truth.
Our news reporting, covering Eastern Visayas (Region 8), aims to become protectors of integrity, justice, and public trust. It is our defense against falsehood and corruption. Our Vanguard spirit serves as an illuminating power of truth against darkness on Filipino society.
Our logo is our covenant to our readers. It declares that The Vanguard will always be the spearhead of truth and the shield of justice. We are the Guardians on the front lines, ensuring that what is right is defended, and what is true is revealed.
This Green color symbolizes the enduring vitality of truth and the moral courage to do what is right. It reflects our commitment to nurturing an informed society and safeguarding the principles we hold dear—For what is True, Just and Right.
