Affiliate Disclosure

Affiliate Disclosure: This page explains how Bakasyon.ph uses affiliate links to support our travel publication while keeping our recommendations transparent.

At Bakasyon.ph, transparency and trust are core to how we publish. This Affiliate Disclosure explains how our editorial team handles affiliate links, sponsored content, and partnerships across the website. We believe readers deserve to know when and how we may earn commissions, so they can make informed choices about the services we reference or recommend.

1. Understanding Affiliate Links

Some of the links on Bakasyon.ph are affiliate links. This means that when you click certain links and make a purchase or booking through a partner’s website, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. Affiliate programs are a common way for online publishers to support their work and keep content freely available.

2. Our Affiliate Partnerships

Bakasyon.ph participates in a variety of affiliate programs in the travel and lifestyle industry. These partnerships may include, but are not limited to:

Travelpayouts – for booking flights and hotels worldwide.
Klook – for tours, attractions, and local travel experiences.
Kiwi.com – for flight comparison and travel planning.

Affiliate relationships like these help us maintain the site and produce travel guides, itineraries, and planning resources without relying on intrusive ads or paywalls.

3. How Affiliate Links Work

When a reader clicks an affiliate link on Bakasyon.ph, a tracking code may be added to the browser. If a purchase is made within a set time period, our affiliate partner may attribute a referral commission to us. This commission does not affect the price you pay. Availability, pricing, inclusions, cancellation terms, and other booking details are determined by the third-party provider and may change without notice.

4. Editorial Independence

Our articles and guides are created with an editorial-first approach. Affiliate partnerships do not control what we publish, how we rank options, or what we choose to cover. Where a post is sponsored or includes a paid collaboration, it will be clearly labeled as Sponsored or Paid Partnership.

Because travel conditions change, our content is best understood as planning guidance rather than a promise of a specific on-the-ground experience. We encourage readers to verify key details (hours, routes, fees, accessibility, safety advisories, and booking terms) directly with official sources and service providers before making final plans.

5. Recommendations, Experience, and Representation

Bakasyon.ph may include suggestions based on independent research, publicly available information, and general traveler considerations. Unless we explicitly state otherwise, references to places, experiences, or services should not be interpreted as a claim that our contributors personally visited, used, or tested every venue or provider mentioned. Photos and visuals used on the site may include original images, properly licensed stock images, or other illustrative media; these visuals are intended to support the theme of an article and are not necessarily documentary proof of a specific location, person, or moment.

6. Why This Matters

We disclose affiliate relationships so readers can understand when we may receive compensation related to a link. This helps you evaluate recommendations with full context and supports responsible, transparent publishing.

7. Compliance with Regulations

Bakasyon.ph follows widely recognized transparency practices, including the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) endorsement guidelines, by clearly disclosing affiliate relationships and sponsored content where applicable.

8. No Additional Cost to You

Using our affiliate links does not increase your cost. In some cases, partners may offer promotions, bundles, or discounts that vary by time, location, availability, or user eligibility. Any offer details are controlled by the third-party provider.
