TV5 News and Current Affairs, also known on-air as News5 (formerly ABC News and Public Affairs and TV5 News and Public Affairs and later TV5 News and Information), is the news and current affairs division of the Philippine media company TV5 Network Inc. It is headquartered at the TV5 Media Center in Mandaluyong, Metro Manila, Philippines.
News5 set a number of firsts in news reporting in the country. These include the use of Live-Pack and a virtual news set, the first news FM station (105.9 True FM) and, prior to December 2013, the first and only 24-hour Filipino language free TV news channel (AksyonTV) along with the first English-language business news channel (Bloomberg TV Philippines) since October 5, 2015, prior to its launching in full broadcast, which is owned by Bloomberg L.P. in partnership with Bloomberg Television and Cignal. It is also the first news organization to shoot and produce its newscasts in high-definition (HD) in April 2015 and the first digital (online)-only news video channel thru News5 Digital (formerly News5 Everywhere), which was launched on June 28, 2017.
