Frontpage: Ulat ni Mel Tiangco (Frontpage: Reports by Mel Tiangco) is the former primetime newscast of GMA Network in the Philippines. Anchored by Mel Tiangco. It was the first late-night newscast of the network from August 2, 1999 to July 12, 2002 and became the primetime newscast from July 15, 2002 until it was cancelled on March 12, 2004. The Slogan for the newscast is Headlines Bukas, Ngayon ang Broadcast (Headlines Tomorrow, Today's Broadcast)[1], and Pawang Katotohanan Lamang (Only Truth).
The newscast was the first to carry the name of the anchorperson, and the first to be solo-anchored by a female newscaster. Tiangco competes Noli De Castro where Tiangco was a news anchor with him on ABS-CBN and she competes his former partner on the network. Her famous closing line is "Mel Tiangco po, nag-uulat" ("Mel Tiangco, reporting"). It bagged PMPC and CMMA's Best News Program Award. In 2003, Rhea Santos was added as the segment host for GMA Action Force replacing Candice Giron, Love Añover on Good News (later retitled "Buenas Balita...And Everything!", after Añover's signature line, "Smile naman d'yan and everything!") and TJ Manotoc on Starwatch.
The program ceased airing on March 12, 2004 to make way for 24 Oras.
