The newspaper also publishes a business section called the Malaya Business Insight which is placed before the actual Malaya.
History
[edit]Under Jose Burgos, Jr.
[edit]The newspaper's name was derived from the Filipino word that means "free". In 1981, Malaya was founded by Jose Burgos, Jr.[3] as a weekly, and later daily written in the Tagalog language. It eventually began publishing content in English language in 1983, when President Ferdinand Marcos closed down WE Forum, a sister publication of Malaya. It continued to fight the administration of Marcos during its last years in power. During the events that lead to Marcos' ouster, Malaya published one million copies daily, a feat never been done before in the history of newspaper publishing in the Philippines.[4]
Marcos dictatorship era writing staff
[edit]Among the journalists who wrote for Malaya during this time included[5] Chuchay Fernandez, Joel Paredes, Chit Simbulan, Ellen Tordesillas, Rita Festin, Desiree Carlos, Joel Saracho, and Estelita "Esty" Juco.[6]
Under Amado Macasaet
[edit]After the EDSA Revolution, Amado P. Macasaet, veteran journalist and then Business Editor of Malaya, became the new owner of Malaya. Macasaet also owned two tabloids, Abante and Abante Tonite.

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
