Kaya Pala publishes plain-language explainers about how public systems in the Philippines work: utility bills, taxes, laws, government programs and public services. It is an independent publication. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by or paid by any company, government agency, regulator, political party or person named on this site. For general questions, write to hello@kayapala.com.
Each explainer contains three kinds of content, and we try to keep them distinct:
Where an explainer reports what others have said, including claims made by officials, companies, lawmakers, critics or posts on social media, it is reporting that the statement was made, with attribution. It is not adopting the statement as true.
References to companies, agencies and officials concern their public roles, official acts, published decisions and publicly regulated activities. Nothing on this site is intended to state or imply that any person or organization has committed a crime, acted in bad faith, or engaged in any wrongdoing, and no content should be read that way. Describing how a charge, law or policy works is not a claim that anyone acted improperly.
We work to be accurate, but rates, rules and circumstances change often, sometimes monthly. Every explainer is accurate only as of the date shown on it. Figures may be rounded, simplified or averaged, and may not match any individual bill, account or situation. We make no warranty that the content is complete, current or error-free. Always confirm with the official source before relying on any figure.
Content on this site is general information for educational purposes. It is not legal, financial, investment, tax, accounting, engineering or other professional advice, and it does not create any professional relationship. For decisions about your own situation, consult the relevant agency, your service provider or a qualified professional.
If something on this site is factually wrong, we want to fix it. When an error is verified, we correct it promptly and add a dated correction note to the affected explainer. We do not quietly change the substance of published facts.
Any person or organization mentioned on this site who believes they have been described inaccurately or unfairly may request a correction or submit a response. Where appropriate, we will publish their response, or a fair summary of it, alongside the explainer. Send corrections and replies to corrections@kayapala.com. Please name the page, quote the statement in question, and say what you believe is accurate, with a source if you have one.
Company names, product names, logos and trademarks belong to their respective owners. They are used here only to identify the subject being discussed and do not imply any affiliation or endorsement. Short quotations are used with attribution for purposes of commentary, criticism and news reporting.
Laws, regulations and other official government works are public. Maps and datasets from third parties remain the property of their creators and are used under their respective licenses, with credit given in the relevant explainer.
Explainers link to outside websites as sources and for further reading. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, accuracy, availability or privacy practices. A link is not an endorsement.
