History

ABC 5 (1962–1972)

Premiered on March 19, 1962, Pangunahing Balita is the first Filipino-language late afternoon newscast of ABC 5 (now TV5). Anchored by Paul Lacanilao, the newscast airs the news of the day in the local and international scene. It also became an inspiration to have other TV stations a Filipino-language newscast like Balita Ngayon of ABS-CBN, which aired from 1967 to 1972. On September 22, 1972, DZTM-TV 5 was closed down due to the declaration of martial law.

Timeslot

It was aired in the late afternoon slot and had two editions. The first edition aired at 4:30 pm, while the final edition aired at 5:45 pm.

PTV 4 (1987–1998)

In 1987, PTV 4 launches Pangunahing Balita as its Filipino-language newscast. It became the household name for their Tagalog newscast.
