Bandila (Filipino: "Flag") is a Philippine television late-night newscast broadcast by ABS-CBN, anchored by Karen Davila and Julius Babao. The program premiered on July 3, 2006, and currently airs every weeknights from 10:50 PM to 11:20 PM. It also airs worldwide via TFC.[1]

History

Sanchez-Diaz-Drilon era (2006–2009)

Bandila debuted on July 3, 2006 replacing Insider, with Korina Sanchez returning to newscasting after nearly two years since she left TV Patrol. She was joined by Ces Oreña-Drilon (who was one of the final anchors for Insider with Atty. Dong Puno) and Henry Omaga-Diaz as the original news anchors. During the pilot episode, it aired a video of General Danilo Lim organizing a coup d'état against former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.

Maria Ressa, then-head of ABS-CBN News and Current Affairs, explained Bandila as "three colors, three stars, three anchors"[2] referring that of the Philippine flag having three colors. On the other hand, Luchi Cruz-Valdes, then head of Current Affairs, said that the title also depicts the news as "banner stories".[2] They also said that they choose three anchors for the late-night newscast as referring to the three stars in the Philippine flag, and chooses Sanchez, Omaga-Diaz and Oreña-Drilon as the news anchors because they are the three of the most seasoned and experienced broadcast journalist in the network.

During this period, Bandila covered the New Year Countdown for 2008 and 2009, after failing to air the 2007 New Year Countdown when New Year's Eve of 2006 fell on Sunday as Bandila airs on Monday-Friday.

Diaz-Drilon era (2009–2010)

On May 8, 2009, Sanchez took an indefinite leave from Bandila and her DZMM radio program Tambalang Failon at Sanchez in anticipation of her wedding to Senator Mar Roxas and his presidential bid for the 2010 Philippine elections,[3] leaving Oreña-Drilon and Omaga-Diaz as the remaining news anchors, which would serve as a mini-reunion on television after they did the inaugural newscast of TV Patrol Weekend in 2004.

Although December 31, 2009 fell on Thursday, Bandila once again failed to air the 2010 New Year Countdown, as a separate Countdown broadcast anchored by Bernadette Sembrano and Jorge Cariño was aired right after the newscast.

2010 Revamp (2010)

A new and improved Bandila was introduced in time for President-elect Noynoy Aquino's inauguration, on June 30, 2010. This includes the logo, opening billboard, and studio setup that will accommodate augmented reality technology. This was the first time that TV Patrol and Bandila shared a common studio set-up.

Babao-Davila-Drilon era (2010–2011)

On November 3, 2010, ABS-CBN announced the appointment of outgoing TV Patrol anchors Julius Babao and Karen Davila to Bandila. Their arrival to the late-night newscast was scheduled to November 8, but was postponed when Babao was on a vacation at that time. Instead, Bandila was given a new and enhanced studio set, which was exclusively done for TV Patrol.

On November 22, 2010, Babao and Davila finally arrived to the newscast, replacing Omaga-Diaz who decided to return on field reporting.[4] The same night, the program updated its graphics, opening billboard, and title card. Bandila started letting viewers send their reactions on each news through Twitter or Facebook and later read by the anchors after each news items, thus making Bandila more interactive.

Sanchez (from being one of the program's original news anchors) was moved to TV Patrol in turn. The addition of Babao and Davila in Bandila falsified the rumor that they would leave ABS-CBN and transfer to a different TV network after being "removed" from TV Patrol.

Bandila covered the 2011 New Year Countdown Special, with Babao and Davila anchoring it from Rizal Park, Manila. This was the third time the newscast covered the New Year Countdown; the first two being at the beginning of 2008 and 2009.

On January 7, 2011, Bandila stopped its delayed simulcast over DZMM and DZMM TeleRadyo in preparation for the DZMM schedule revamps that occurred three days later, leaving TV Patrol as the only TV program to simulcast on DZMM. It was later returned on-air as a standalone early edition which began on April 17, 2017 at 10:00PM, airing exclusively on the two stations before its main edition on ABS-CBN.

On April 25, 2011, Bandila launched its official webpage as its additional online citizen journalism site.

Babao-Davila-Drilon-Abunda era (2011–2014)

On October 3, 2011, Bandila moved to an earlier timeslot with the addition of Boy Abunda as one of the anchors, upon which it focuses on entertainment. This resulted in updating their title card and a new opening billboard. Another innovation for the newscast is by sending reactions through text messaging. Another addition is the segments Trending Balita (which focuses on different showbiz personalities) and the popular Ikaw Na! (where Boy Abunda interviews showbiz personalities.)

On July 29, 2013, Bandila, alongside TV Patrol, changed their idents and looks, which was first revealed on their official Facebook account. The Bandila font logo was also replaced from Trajan.

On February 7, 2014, Boy Abunda left the news program to host the late-night talk show Aquino & Abunda Tonight.

Babao-Davila-Drilon era (2014–2017)

On February 10, 2014, the original Bandila 2013 opening billboard (OBB) was updated to show the three remaining news anchors prior to Abunda's exit, which was used until May 9, 2014. This time, the opening of the title card is animated in flag form. On May 12, 2014, the news program's OBB and graphics its segments were updated again.

From June 25 to July 3, 2016, the main studio for TV Patrol and Bandila underwent major renovations, resulting in both programs to temporarily broadcast on the newsroom of ABS-CBN News.

On July 4, 2016, Bandila and TV Patrol revamped its opening billboards, graphics, lower thirds and ticker; while the logos for both programs remained the same (except that the logo for Bandila now uses Gotham typeface), the logos were presented in a 3D-like format. Both programs are also broadcast in a newly-renovated set, which includes a large screen display and green chroma set. The revamp coincides the 10th anniversary of Bandila.

On April 17, 2017, Bandila returned to DZMM and DZMM TeleRadyo while undergoing programming changes. It became a standalone broadcast and premiered at 10:00 PM, while the main edition on ABS-CBN will be retained unlike prior to 2011 when it was simulcasted on a slightly-delayed basis. The simulcast ended on May 20, 2019.

Babao-Davila era (2017–present)

On December 21, 2017, Ces Oreña-Drilon announced that she would be leaving Bandila to focus on her new position in the network as "lifestyle content head".[5] On December 25, 2017, the current Bandila 2016 OBB was still used showing the three news anchors prior to Drilon's exit. Few days after, the opening billboard becomes shortened to exclude Drilon.

On April 2, 2018, Bandila (along with the other news programs of ABS-CBN) has finally switched to high definition (1080i, 16:9 HDTV) format, with a temporary background music replacing the news program's theme song "Isang Bandila".

On July 2, 2018, Bandila launched its new original theme song, entitled simply "Bandila", performed by Ebe Dancel.

On April 21, 2019, the program temporarily transferred back to the ABS-CBN Newsroom when Studio 7 is being prepared for the coverage of 2019 midterm election (titled as Halalan 2019.) The newscast then returned to the newly renovated studio on May 13, 2019 during the election coverage, while retaining the current OBB, logo and graphics since 2016, and its theme song since 2018.

On March 17, 2020, Bandila was temporarily replaced by the replay of TV Patrol on its timeslot as provisional programming due to the curfew caused by the quarantine done to reduce the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines. Later on March 30, Bandila was temporarily replaced by Mission Possible on Mondays, My Puhunan on Tuesdays, #NoFilter on Wednesdays, Sports U on Thursdays, and Local Legends on Fridays wherein these programs are aired on the show’s timeslot as provisional programming.

Format

Original format

The original format of Bandila features Sanchez situated in the news studio, while Drilon and Diaz situating in the newsroom, which the similar style on Korina-era TV Patrol. The newscast begins with the segment "Sa Mga Balitang Bumabandila" (lit. In The Waving News) that discusses the top stories of the day. Usually, Sanchez would start the program by saying "sa mga balitang bumabandila." This tagline was used by Drilon upon departure of Sanchez in 2009 and this continued until 2010, after which, Julius Babao would said it at the start of the newscast. In 2011, that tagline would only be said upon the start of headlines. Other segments include "Patok!" (lit. Popular) that sets aside serious news and discusses other features and news that do not deal with politics and public affairs on a lighter note.

2010 format

The addition of Julius Babao and Karen Davila to the news program has seen some minor changes to the graphics, title cards, and opening billboard. They also added a desk which allows better interaction shots and more discussions especially now that the newscast strengthens their citizen journalism campaign. The major change in the current format is the addition of interactivity, which now lets television viewers send in their reactions to each news through the use of Facebook and Twitter. The chosen reactions are later read by the anchors after each news items. The anchors also survey the people occasionally by asking a question that deals with one of the news stories (e.g. "What are you going to do if you won the lottery?").

2011 format

The addition of Boy Abunda to the news program has seen some minor changes to the graphics, title cards, and opening billboard. They also added another desk separate from the desk used by the three news anchors. The major change in the current format is the addition of sending their reaction through text messaging also through Facebook and Twitter. The chosen reactions are later read by the anchors after each news items.

Current format

On May 12, 2014, the program introduced new segments such as "Selfie Balita" (wherein viewers could tape and record their own reports), "Yes or No" (wherein the anchors will interview a guest about current issues and then ask them, together with the viewers, with questions answerable only with Yes or No), and "Tatak Noypi" (wherein Tony Velasquez reports about the unusual and unique characteristics of the Filipino people.) These segments have been discontinued in 2016.
