Editorial & Fact-Checking Policy
Our strict 4-tier verification protocol, corrections workflow, and ethical standards governing all sports reporting and betting reviews.
1. The 4-Tier Verification Protocol
Before any match schedule, gate policy, ticket advisory, or sportsbook review is published, it must pass 4 verification tiers:
- Primary Source Verification: Ticketing dates must match official SM Tickets bulletins; PFL fixtures are reconciled with PFF commissioner records.
- Regulatory Legal Verification: Any sports betting operator mentioned must hold an active, verified commercial license from the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR). We strictly ban coverage of unlicensed offshore illegal betting sites.
- Physical Field Audit: Gate access points, bag size limits, and LRT-1 walking distances are verified through on-the-ground visits at the Malate complex.
- Senior Editor Sign-Off: All content undergoes review by our Lead Sports Editor for clarity, neutral tone of voice, and anti-slop compliance.
2. Corrections & Transparency Policy
We believe in immediate, transparent accountability. If a match date shifts, ticket prices change, or an error is identified:
Readers can submit correction notices directly to editorial@rizalmemorialstadium.com with the subject “Correction Notice”. Our editorial desk investigates within 24 hours, updates the text, and appends a visible correction timestamp note at the bottom of the affected article.
3. Commercial Disclosure & Affiliate Independence
Some of our sportsbook comparison guides contain affiliate tracking links. However, editorial rankings are 100% independent. We will never rank an operator higher based on commercial commissions. Operators that fail PAGCOR licensing checks, delay GCash/Maya withdrawals, or fail consumer protection audits are permanently excluded.
