Sison’s Publishing House, Inc.

Sison’s Publishing House, Inc.

Sison’s Publishing House, Inc. was incorporated and registered in 1991 by Rainier and Leonida Sison (husband and wife) to focus on their publishing business, which started with the weekly entertainment magazines, Bulgar and Chism.

Now a full-fledged media entity, they concentrated on growing Bulgar, which they converted to a tabloid to make it the most popular Filipino-language compact newspaper in the country. With its sensational treatment of stories and attention-grabbing headlines, Bulgar gained “unprecedented popularity” in 1996, and later even reached a daily circulation of 600,000.

After Rainier Sison passed away in 2020, the Sison’s Publishing House, Inc. remained with his family, this time with matriarch Leonida as majority shareholder owning 79% shares and sitting as President and Chairman of the Board.

Bulgar’s publisher is her son, Maxim Ryan, with a 15% stake in the company and serves as the board’s vice president. Mother-and-son are both columnists of the paper.

The remaining 6% shares are equally distributed between Ryan’s sister, Maria Michelle Sison-Tolentino and his son, Ryan Malcolm Ethan Y. Sison.
