Frontline Pilipinas (lit. 'Frontline Philippines') is a Philippine television newscast broadcast by TV5, Originally anchored by Raffy Tulfo and Cheryl Cosim, the program premiered on October 5, 2020, succeeding Aksyon. It is also simulcast on One News, One PH, Radyo5 92.3 News FM, and online via livestreaming on Facebook, YouTube, and News5's official website. Currently, Cosim and Julius Babao serve as the main anchors.[1][2]
The newscast, along with other News5 programs, continues the tradition of sign language interpretation that News5 pioneered during the launch of now-defunct Aksyon a decade earlier.
History
2020–2021: Tulfo-Cosim era
Frontline Pilipinas premiered on October 5, 2020, at 6:30 p.m. with Raffy Tulfo and Cheryl Cosim as original anchors, along with News5 chief Luchi Cruz-Valdes, chief correspondent Ed Lingao, and Lourd de Veyra as segment anchors for Deretsahan, NEWS ExplainED, and Word of the Lourd, respectively.[3][4] The program serves as the replacement to TV5's longest-running flagship newscast Aksyon, which ended abruptly on March 13, 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the enforcement of enhanced community quarantine in Luzon,[5] as well as the two One-branded newscasts which aired on TV5.[6] The following week, the program moved to 6:00 p.m. timeslot to give way for the 2020 PBA Philippine Cup and new primetime programming.[7][8]
On February 15, 2021, athlete and TV host Gretchen Ho joined the newscast as Sports segment anchor (alongside The Big Story on One News.)[9] On February 22, 2021, the program extended its running time to 1 hour and 15 minutes as part of TV5's programming changes.[10]
On April 5, 2021, the program moved to 5:30 p.m. with a shortened 1 hour running time to give way for the new shows Sing Galing! and Niña Niño.[11] On July 16, 2021, the show cut it's airtime to 30 minutes on Wednesdays and Fridays to give way to the broadcast of the 2021 PBA season.
On September 20, 2021, the newscast moved to an earlier timeslot from 5:15 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. with 1 hour and 15 minutes every Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. Timeslots for Wednesdays and Fridays remain at 5:15 p.m. and extended to 45 minutes.
Tulfo's departure
On October 1, 2021, Raffy Tulfo bid farewell to the newscast to run for senator and his brother Erwin to run for Partylist in 2022,[12][13] leaving Cosim as the sole anchor starting October 4.
2022–present: Cosim-Babao era
Julius Babao was named as Raffy Tulfo's replacement, joining the newscast on February 7, 2022.[14] In conjunction with this, Frontline Pilipinas also debuted its new opening billboard, title card, and graphics. Babao was originally to make his debut on January 17, but was postponed due to the increasing number of COVID-19 cases brought by the omicron variant.[15] Ed Lingao took over as interim anchor of the newscast.[16]
Also on the same day, Gretchen Ho took over the anchoring duties for Frontline sa Umaga from Paolo Bediones as he left News5 on February 1 due to the issues surrounding his company, Ei2Tech.
