Overview
It delivers different news from the different regions in the Philippines, sourced from Balitang Amianan (GMA Dagupan ,Ilocos and GMA Bicol), Balitang Bisdak (GMA Cebu), One Western Visayas (GMA Iloilo and Bacolod) and One Mindanao (GMA Davao, Northern Mindanao and General Santos); a format similarly to Balita Pilipinas and Balita Pilipinas Ngayon. Every week, GMA Regional TV anchors will take turns in bringing the latest news from all over the Philippines straight from its respective home studio; which during the first month on air, coincides with the relaunch of its respective newscast to pattern with the national counterpart, starting with Balitang Bisdak on July 29, followed by Balitang Amianan on August 5, One Western Visayas on August 12, and finally One Mindanao on August 19.[1]
With its station undergoing limited broadcasts due to the enhanced community quarantine against COVID-19, the program temporarily moved to GMA, making its first-ever broadcasts on March 21, 2020, as the channel's first-ever English language news broadcast since 1998, when GMA Network News switched to Filipino full time, making it the successor to the channel's previous English language news broadcasts dating back to its opening in 1961. Its final broadcast on GMA was on April 25, 2020.
On May 2, 2020, the program returned to GMA News TV.[2]
