Pulso: Aksyon Balita (Pulse: Action News) was the very first Filipino language late-night newscast of ABS-CBN pitting up against GMA Network's Frontpage: Ulat ni Mel Tiangco. This newscast was anchored by Korina Sanchez and Ted Failon.

History

Pulso: Aksyon Balita was premiered on August 16, 1999 and was anchored by Korina Sanchez and Ted Failon, replacing the English language newscast The World Tonight which was moved to its 24-hour news channel, ABS-CBN News Channel as the English news relegated to the channel.

Pulso: Aksyon Balita was created by ABS-CBN news head Jake Maderazo as the network's first Filipino language late-night newscast due to low ratings on English late night newscasts when rival GMA Network introduced all-Filipino news broadcast with the relaunch of GMA Network News in 1998, switching its language from English to Filipino and was anchored by Mike Enriquez and Vicky Morales.

Pulso: Aksyon Balita ran for 15 minutes and later expanded to 30 minutes on October 11, 1999. It ended with the segment Kontra Bersya where the anchors debates on the burning issue of the day. This was capped with a telephone survey that counts viewer opinion on current issues.

However in late 1999, Sanchez and Failon were about to be replaced from the newscast since they were taken in only a temporary basis and not permanent for them being anchors.

On February 14, 2000, Dong Puno replaced Failon after the latter was clearing the management from the start that the favor for ABS-CBN's temporary agreement and Gel Santos-Relos took Sanchez's position at the same day.

However, it was cancelled and aired its final broadcast on November 17, 2000 and was replaced by ABS-CBN Headlines.
