Serving as the channel's flagship newscast, the main noontime edition airs on weekdays from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM, while its primetime edition airs from 7:30 PM to 8:00 PM (PST).
The newscasts are simulcasts on radio through 92.3 News FM Radyo5 (now 92.3 Radyo5 TRUE FM) in Mega Manila and its provincial Radyo5 stations nationwide until January 20, 2023. It is also simulcast on One News, the English-language sister news channel of One PH.
The newscast also airs worldwide via Kapatid Channel and Aksyon TV International.
Background
One Balita is the radio-TV newscast of the FM radio station Radyo5 and radio-TV news channel One PH. The program is also similar to other radio-television or teleradyo news programs during noontime such as Headline Pilipinas of DZMM, and DZRH Network News of DZRH, because it is broadcasting live from a television news studio but simulcast on radio and television feed instead of using the radio studio for the radio feed.
History
As a noontime newscast

The newscast was first known on-air as One Balita, a fifteen-minute noontime newscast focused on fast-delivered headlines of the day. It was launched on February 18, 2019, at 12:00 n.n. It was first anchored by Raffy Tulfo, and Jamie Herrell, then replaced by Marga Vargas (Tulfo and Vargas was also an anchor for now-defunct TV5's noontime news and public service program Aksyon sa Tanghali, which was served as a lead-in newscast for the latter).
Primetime edition
On September 9, One PH debuted the newscasts' primetime edition under the name One Balita Pilipinas, It was first anchored by Cheryl Cosim. In the interim, it replaced the first 15 minutes of its companion program Sa Totoo Lang (which focuses on refining and analyzing top stories), serves as the lead-in newscast for "Sa Totoo Lang" on the channel before the latter was bumped to 7:15 pm and reduced its time to 45 minutes.
On September 23, 2019, both editions of the newscast started to air on TV5. The noontime edition was reformatted into a three-way simulcast on TV5 One PH and Radyo5 and expanded into 30 minutes, with the Pilipinas primetime edition airing tape-delayed at 10 p.m.; serving as TV5's de facto late-night newscast, replacing the English-language The Big Story, produced by sister station One News. Cosim previously anchored TV5-produced Aksyon Tonite before its cancellation in 2019.
On February 28, 2020, One Balita Pilipinas aired its last episode on TV5, reverting it to a satellite-exclusive newscast via One PH, but remains simulcasting on Radyo5 outside PBA game dates.
COVID-19 pandemic reformat changes
On March 17, 2020, both editions of the newscast were placed on hiatus as One PH opted to air sister channel's One News special coverage on the Luzon-wide Enhanced Community Quarantine period against the COVID-19 pandemic.
On May 7, 2020, One Balita Pilipinas went back on air as part of the provisional programming of TV5, One PH, One News (later removed), and Radyo5. It airs every weeknight at 6:30 pm and is presented by Cheryl Cosim and News5 chief correspondent Ed Lingao.
On June 1, 2020, the newscast launch its new titlecard and OBB. On the same day, the original noontime edition of the newscast went back on air and it was renamed as "One Balita Pilipinas," which resulted to air twice a day with the same name.[1]
On June 8, 2020, One PH launched a new program titled Idol in Action, which features live public service on television and is presented by Raffy Tulfo, with Marga Vargas and MJ Marfori. After 2 complainants and some segments, they will proceed to the news using the name of One Balita Pilipinas. The format of the show is similar to Aksyon sa Tanghali and Balitaang Tapat which contain news and public service.[2]
Relaunch
On September 14, 2020, One PH announced that Jay Taruc will be the newest anchor for the primetime newscast on October 5, replacing both Cosim and Lingao, as the said primetime edition will be airing its last broadcast on TV5 by October 2, reverting again to a satellite-exclusive newscast via One PH for the second time since February 28, and it was replaced by the newest primetime newscast, Frontline Pilipinas which will debut on the same day at the same time, thus placing the primetime edition moved to an earlier time at 5:30 pm. It also presents new segments such as Bilog ang Balita, Mojo: Mobile Journo, and Ride PH Group. The newscast will be ended on October 1, 2020.
On October 2, 2020, Cosim replaced Tulfo as the anchor of the newscast's original noontime edition which aired on TV5 until October 16 to make way for the launch of Lunch Out Loud on October 19.[3][4][5][6][7]
On April 5, 2021, the primetime edition moved to a new time at 7:30 pm to give way to One PH's simulcast of Frontline Pilipinas, which moved to 5:30 pm that same day.
On October 2021, both editions started to air on One News, the English-language sister news channel of One PH. The noontime edition is aired simultaneously on One PH, Radyo5, and One News, while the evening edition is aired on One News via delayed telecast.
On February 15, 2022, former actor and UNTV news anchor Diego Castro III joined Cheryl Cosim in the noontime edition.[8] The team-up of Cosim and Castro on the news program lasted until January 6, 2023.
