One Balita Pilipinas (, formerly known as One Balita) is the rolling newscast service of One PH, the 24/7 Filipino-language cable news channel of Cignal TV.
Serving as the channel's flagship newscast, the main noontime edition airs on weekdays from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM, while its primetime edition airs from 5:00 PM to 5:30 PM (PST).
The newscasts are simulcasted on radio through 92.3 News FM Radyo5 (now 92.3 Radyo5 True FM) in Mega Manila and its provincial Radyo5 stations nationwide, until January 20, 2023. However, its radio simulcast resumed on July 17, 2023, while its noontime edition was reverted into the original timeslot, replacing the 1-hour simulcast of E.A.T. Its radio simulcast ended on October 23, 2023 to give way to the new radio program, Heart to Heart. It is also simulcast on One News, the English-language sister news channel of One PH.
The newscast also airs worldwide via Kapatid Channel and Aksyon TV International.
Background
One Balita is the radio-TV newscast of the FM radio station Radyo5 and radio-TV news channel One PH. The program is also similar to other radio-television or teleradyo news programs during noontime such as Headline Pilipinas of DZMM (now Headline Ngayon of DWPM), and DZRH Network News of DZRH, because it is broadcasting live from a television news studio but simulcast on radio and television feed instead of using the radio studio for the radio feed.
History
As a noontime newscast
The newscast was first known on-air as One Balita, a fifteen-minute noontime newscast focused on fast-delivered headlines of the day. It was launched on February 18, 2019, at 12:00 n.n. It was first anchored by Raffy Tulfo, and Jamie Herrell, then replaced by Marga Vargas (Tulfo and Vargas was also an anchor for now-defunct TV5's noontime news and public service program Aksyon sa Tanghali, which was served as a lead-in newscast for the latter).
Primetime edition
On September 9, One PH debuted the newscasts' primetime edition under the name One Balita Pilipinas, It was first anchored by Cheryl Cosim. In the interim, it replaced the first 15 minutes of its companion program Sa Totoo Lang (which focuses on refining and analyzing top stories), serves as the lead-in newscast for "Sa Totoo Lang" on the channel before the latter was bumped to 7:15 pm and reduced its time to 45 minutes.
On September 23, 2019, both editions of the newscast started to air on TV5. The noontime edition was reformatted into a three-way simulcast on TV5 One PH and Radyo5 and expanded into 30 minutes, with the Pilipinas primetime edition airing tape-delayed at 10 p.m.; serving as TV5's de facto late-night newscast, replacing the English-language The Big Story, produced by sister station One News. Cosim previously anchored TV5-produced Aksyon Tonite before its cancellation in 2019.
On February 28, 2020, One Balita Pilipinas aired its last episode on TV5, reverting it to a satellite-exclusive newscast via One PH, but remains simulcasting on Radyo5 outside PBA game dates.
COVID-19 pandemic reformat changes
On March 17, 2020, both editions of the newscast were placed on hiatus as One PH opted to air sister channel's One News special coverage on the Luzon-wide Enhanced Community Quarantine period against the COVID-19 pandemic.
