Big News was the evening television news program of ABC 5. It was the first evening news program on Philippine television. It aired from March 19, 1962, to September 22, 1972. On February 21, 1992, in line with the network's reopening, the program was revived and was originally anchored by Eric Eloriaga, Tina Monzon-Palma and Kathy Tanco-Ong and continued to air until August 8, 2008. Cherie Mercado and Amelyn Veloso serves as the final anchors. It was replaced by TEN: The Evening News on August 11, 2008.[1]
The Big News was originally anchored by Duds Rivera and Bong Lapira[2] with Antonio Tecson as head of the newsroom. Lapira later left the newscast in 1967 to transfer to ABS-CBN to anchor Newsbreak on DZXL-TV Channel 9 and he was replaced by Jose Mari Velez.[3] The show first aired on March 19, 1962, and went off the air in 1972 due to martial law.[4]
Second incarnation (1992–2004)
On February 21, 1992, three days after ABC returned to the airwaves, the program resumed its telecast,[4] but this time, it was anchored by Tina Monzon-Palma. On December 14 of that year, she was joined by Eric Eloriaga and later Kathy Tanco-Ong on March 1, 1993. In May 1997, they were replaced by Anthony Pangilinan and Thelma Dumpit-Murillo, who also anchors the network's early evening Filipino newscast Balitang Balita as its new anchors. Tanco-Ong would bow out of the newscast a year later and was replaced by Janice Pronstoller on March 2, 1998. Monzon-Palma went to become anchor of ABS-CBN's late night newscast The World Tonight while Eloriaga became anchor of RPN's NewsWatch, both newscast's main rivals during pre-Martial Law days.
On May 3, 1999, Amelyn Veloso became the new anchor of the newscast. On May 22, 2000, Veloso was joined by Rod Nepomuceno as her co-anchor, replacing Pangilinan. On June 3, 2002, Nepomuceno was replaced by Atty. Mike Toledo.
