Overview
Aksyon Balita is the final Filipino-language newscast and the late afternoon news broadcast of Radio Philippines Network in the Philippines. Launched in 2006, it is broadcast at 5:30 PM Philippine time.
It was created as a spin-off of the network's longest-running news program, NewsWatch. With the latter program's final episode on January 4, 2008, the Filipino edition dropped the "NewsWatch" tag and is retitled to, simply, Aksyon Balita, apparently to complement the network's new English newscast, i-Watch News.
