Bandera is a daily Taglish tabloid under Inquirer Publications, Incorporated, one of the companies under the Inquirer Group of Companies.

Its tagline “Balita, Buenas, Chika” translates to “News, Good luck, Gossip.” It contains local and international news, as well as gossip about famous artists. Bandera has three separate editions for Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. It also has a digital edition, which can be accessed through subscription.

Initially named Metro Times, Bandera was first published on September 10, 1990. Before the Prietos, owner of the Philippine Daily Inquirer, bought the paper in late 2001, Bandera was published by the Gokongweis as the sister publication of The Manila Times.

In 2015, the Philippine Post Office released a commemorative stamp for the 25th anniversary of the paper.
