Bloomberg TV Philippines or BloombergTVPh is a business news channel in the Philippines as part of Cignal's new channel line-up.[1] United States-based Bloomberg Television made a partnership with TV5 Network Inc. and Cignal, both under MediaQuest Holdings, (PLDT's media arm) on March 25, 2015 to launch a local franchise of the international news channel.[2]

Bloomberg TV Philippines, is the first business news channel to air on a 24/7 basis in the country. Bloomberg was the second global network to set a localized channel in the country.
