The Philippine Signs describes itself as a publication "that does not merely report facts, but also ideas and issues; not only to inform, but to elucidate, to bring the hows, and whys, and the alternatives. In the tradition of fair journalism, it will point out facts and show contradictions, not to take a negative position but help people recognize and understand the world in which we live: its expectations, its longings, and its often dramatic characteristics."
