Balitaang Tapat (The Loyal News) is now defunct afternoon newscast of TV5 produced by News5. The newscast is anchored by Raffy Tulfo and Amelyn Veloso. It is aired on every Monday to Friday at exactly 1:30 PM to 2:00 PM (PST).
Background
The newscast is known for its Itimbre Mo Kay Tulfo segment, where anchor Raffy Tulfo tries to solve community or government problems and other complains that are sent to them either via email or text messaging. In addition, Atty. Mel Sta. Maria (a legal counsel for Associated Broadcasting Company) was the segment host for Sabi ni Attorney, may K ka. However, unlike all other newscasts of News 5, Balitaang Tapat focuses on crime and police reports (especially in Metro Manila), and national news stories come last.
Balitaang Tapat stopped their simulcast over AksyonTV and Radyo5 and ceased airing altogether on May 11, 2012. two years later, News5 returned to noontime newscasting with Aksyon sa Tanghali, with former Balitaang Tapat anchor Raffy Tulfo and former Pilipinas News anchor Cherie Mercado.
