Manila Bulletin was founded on February 2, 1900 by Carlson Taylor as a shipping journal. In 1957, the newspaper was acquired by Swiss expatriate Hans Menzi.{{cite web|url=https://philippinefolio.com/list-of-books/book-9-give-and-take/29/|title=Book 9: Give and Take, Part 2|first=Larry|last=Henares|work=Philippine Folio|access-date=July 7, 2020|archive-date=July 7, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200707215328/https://philippinefolio.com/list-of-books/book-9-give-and-take/29/|url-status=usurped}}{{cite web|url=https://www.upi.com/Archives/1984/06/27/Brig-Gen-Hans-Menzi-publisher-of-the-nations-largest/9130457156800/|title=Brig.

From 1938 to his death in 2002, Jose Guevara wrote a column of political commentary for the newspaper.

On occasions the editorial policy of the Manila Bulletin met objection from civil authorities. During World War II the newspaper's editor, Roy Anthony Cutaran Bennett, was imprisoned and tortured by the Japanese for his statements opposing the militarist expansion of the Japanese Empire. The Manila Bulletin (as Bulletin Today from 1972 to 1986) survived the martial law era of President Ferdinand Marcos as a propaganda tool.

Following Menzi's death in 1984, Chinese Filipino business mogul Emilio Yap became the new chairman of the Bulletin. Yap was invited by Menzi to become a shareholder in 1961.{{cite web|url=https://philippines.mom-rsf.org/en/owners/individual-owners/detail/owner/owner/show/the-yap-family/|title=Media Ownership Monitor: The Yap family|work=The Vera Files|access-date=July 7, 2020}}{{cite news|first=Charmie Joy |last=Pagulong|title=Emilio Yap, 88 |url=http://www.philstar.com/headlines/2014/04/08/1310056/emilio-yap-88 |newspaper=The Philippine Star |date=April 8, 2014 |access-date=May 4, 2014}} The company has been listed on the Philippine Stock Exchange since 1990, and had revenues of approximately US$45 million in 2004. Besides its flagship it publishes two other daily tabloids, Tempo and Balita, as well as nine magazines such as the Philippine Panorama, Bannawag, Liwayway, Bisaya and a host of other journals in English, Tagalog, Cebuano and other Philippine languages. It also publishes a number of lifestyle magazines such as Wedding Essentials, Style Weekend, GARAGE Magazine, Agriculture Magazine, Digital Gen, Going Places and Animal Scene.

In May 2021, The Manila Bulletin named Business Editor Loreto Cabanes as the new editor-in-chief following the passing of Dr. Crispulo Icban. Herminio "Sonny" B. Coloma was also named as the new publisher.{{Cite web|title=Manila Bulletin names Sonny Coloma publisher and Loreto Cabañes editor-in-chief|url=https://mb.com.ph/2021/05/02/manila-bulletin-names-sonny-coloma-publisher-and-loreto-cabanes-editor-in-chief/|access-date=October 15, 2021|website=Manila Bulletin|date=May 2, 2021 |language=en-US}}

To further enhance its image as a newspaper which presents positive news articles, the Bulletin recently introduced a new marketing tagline, "There's good news here". In 2015, it adopted its current marketing tagline "Be Fully Informed".

In addition, it maintains the oldest news website in the Philippines.{{citation needed|date=July 2014}} It is the largest subscriber to the Philippine News Agency among newspapers.

In June 2020, Manila Bulletin unveiled its Chinese-language online edition, thus becoming the first major Philippine print news outlet to have an online Chinese edition that would cater to the Chinese Filipino population and the Chinese diaspora in the Philippines.

On December 22, 2007, survey results by Nielsen Media Research's Nielsen Media Index Study (Enhanced Wave 2), covering the whole year of 2007, showed that the Manila Bulletin was the choice of 47 "of those who said they had read a broadsheet" with 1.17 million readers. This was lower than rivals Philippine Daily Inquirer (53% with 1.3 million readers), and higher than The Philippine Star (42% or 1.05 million readers). Nielsen survey also showed that the Panorama came in second with 35% readership, below Sunday Inquirer Magazine (39% readership), and above Starweek (12%).{{cite news|title=Nielsen survey shows Inquirer is top newspaper |url=http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/breakingnews/nation/view_article.php?article_id=108388 |work=Inquirer.net |agency=Philippine Daily Inquirer |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091211215118/http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/breakingnews/nation/view_article.php?article_id=108388 |archive-date=December 11, 2009 }}

On June 5, 2008, a Filipino blogger sued the Bulletin for copyright infringement. The photo blogger had discovered that photos that he had taken and posted online had been used by the Manila Bulletin in the "Travel & Tourism" section of its March 21, 2007, issue. Apparently, the photographs had been altered and used by the newspaper without the original photographer's consent and without attribution or compensation.{{cite web | last = Olandres | first = Abe | title = Filipino Photographer sues Manila Bulletin | publisher = Yugatech: Philippine Technology News and Reviews | date = June 11, 2008 | url = http://www.yugatech.com/blog/pinoy-bloggers/filipino-photographer-sues-manila-bulletin/ | access-date =January 5, 2009 }} A month later, the newspaper filed a counter-suit against the blogger claiming "exemplary and moral damages". The Manila Bulletin claimed that its use (and alteration, creating derivative works) of the photographs constituted fair use.{{cite web | last = Olandres | first = Abe | title = Manila Bulletin files counter suit against Photoblogger | publisher = Yugatech: Philippine Technology News and Reviews | date = July 9, 2008 | url = http://www.yugatech.com/blog/pinoy-bloggers/filipino-photographer-sues-manila-bulletin/ | access-date =January 5, 2009 }}
