Happy Truck ng Bayan is a noontime variety show produced by the TV5's entertainment division and it was started airing since June 14, 2015. HTNB is airing every Sunday, 11:00am to 1:00pm on TV5, and it is the biggest project to date this year by the network and hosted by majority of the network's bunch of talents collectively known as "HappyPeeps".

Initially, HTNB visited selected barangays and places in Metro Manila (Manila, San Juan, Marikina, Quezon City, Caloocan, Valenzuela, to name a few) and Central Luzon (Pampanga), using a roving truck that transformed into a stage using remote control hydraulics system, with various segments and games cater to the growing number of audiences from Class D & E (masa).[1]

Competed against long-time rivals ASAP of ABS-CBN, Sunday All Stars of GMA Network and its successor, the comedy-and-variety show Sunday PinaSaya, it was the brainchild project of TV5's Entertainment Division Head Wilma Galvante. HTNB also served as drive for advertisers and sponsors thru on-ground and below-the-line activation events and pluggings for the network's new shows.

HTNB did "taped as LIVE" shows in different parts of the country, in Northern Luzon, Southern Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.[2]

The show ended on February 7, 2016. It will be replaced by a similarly formatted program, Happy Truck HAPPinas, set to premiere live on March 6, 2016 at 11am.
