It is a sister newspaper of The Philippine Star, and both newspapers were born after the 1986 People Power Revolution that ousted dictator Ferdinand Marcos to usher in a new era of democracy which has long been suppressed during the dark ages of martial rule. The founding chairperson of both papers was Mrs. Betty Go-Belmonte (deceased) wife of Quezon City MayorFeliciano Belmonte. Go-Belmonte was among the brave women who challenged the dictatorial rule of Marcos and advocated for the return of Philippine democracy. She put up, first, Ang Pilipino Star NGAYON on March 16, 1986 a few weeks after the EDSA Revolution and later the Philippine Star in support of the newly restored democracy with President Corazon Aquino at the helm.

A few years ago, another tabloid under Pilipino Star NGAYON Inc. was born. It is called PM or Pang-Masa which means catering to the gressroot readers.
