Who we are

The crew behind VRITIMES Philippines

Company Overview

VRITIMES Philippines is an online media and press release distribution platform operated by VRIGroup, an integrated business group founded in Tokyo in 2022. The platform is designed to make it easier and more affordable for companies, startups, schools, governments, NGOs, and other organizations to share their news with journalists, media outlets, and the wider public. The platform combines three key functions in one place: Press release creation โ€“ Users can compose press releases directly on the site, adding headlines, body text, images, links, and company information. Media distribution โ€“ Once published, press releases appear on VRITIMES.com and are distributed to a network of journalists and media partners across various countries and sectors. Analytics and reporting โ€“ Users can then monitor performance through a dashboard, viewing metrics such as impressions and publication results to understand which topics and markets are responding best. VRITIMES.com also functions as a news-style portal. Visitors can browse press releases by country, category, and topicโ€”such as technology, finance, property, education, tourism, and more. This dual role as a media site and distribution hub helps increase the visibility of each press release, compared to simply posting news on a company website or social media. One of the keys to its positioning is accessibility: its pricing structure is simpler and more affordable than many traditional global newswire services, making professional PR exposure more accessible to SMEs and startups. Furthermore, VRITIMES also publishes educational content on how to write and effectively utilize press releases, to support users who may be new to the world of PR. In short, VRITIMES.com is a one-stop shop for creating, distributing, and measuring press releasesโ€”with the goal of streamlining the flow of information from organizations to the media and ultimately to consumers.

Mission

At VRITIMES, our mission is to build an information infrastructure for societyโ€”an open, reliable, and accessible pathway that connects those with stories to share with the people who need to know. We believe that meaningful information shouldn't be the preserve of large corporations or those with large PR budgets. That's why we make the process of creating, distributing, and measuring press releases simple, transparent, and affordable for organizations of all sizesโ€”startups, SMEs, schools, governments, NGOs, and communities. When more voices are heard, societies become more informed, dynamic, and resilient. Through VRITIMES.com and the broader VRIGroup ecosystem, we're building a platform where information flows efficiently: from the businesses and institutions that produce the news, to the journalists and media outlets that verify and corroborate it, and ultimately to the citizens who use it to make better decisions. Our role is to provide the technology, structure, and data that make this flow work. We're committed to reducing friction between organizations and the media, supporting journalists with clean, trustworthy content, and empowering emerging markets and local players to stand on the same stage as global brands. Ultimately, our mission is to ensure valuable information can move freely within society, so that knowledge, opportunity, and progress can be shared more widely with everyone.

Culture

At VRITIMES, our culture is built around three core pillars: Mission, Passion, and Action. We place great emphasis on aligning every aspect of our work with our missionโ€”to create an open, accessible, and efficient information infrastructure for society. This mission is the driving force behind everything we do, guiding our decisions, strategies, and efforts. Passion fuels our team's dedication to this purpose. We believe in the value of meaningful information and its impact on communities, businesses, and individuals. Our passion keeps us motivated, pushing us to innovate, improve, and deliver the best service to our users and partners. However, passion alone is not enough. We understand that achieving our mission requires tangible results, which is why we emphasize the importance of Action. Our team is committed to taking proactive steps, executing strategies, and moving from discussion to implementation. We believe in working hard and taking action that leads to real progress, not just talking about it. By combining Mission, Passion, and Action, our team is not only united in purpose but also determined to make an impactful and lasting difference in the world of information and media.
