The National Union of Journalists of the Philippines, NUJP for short, is a lateral guild committed to securing the interests of the Filipino working press. It binds journalists to a covenant to ethical conduct and commitment to the public trust.

The union seeks to promote and safeguard the economic interest and social well-being of the working press, upgrade professional skills, raise the standards of journalistic ethics, carry out welfare program for its members, and foster fraternal solidarity with all journalists everywhere. The union stands on three legs: unity, integrity and dignity for the working press.
