Una Ka BAI!: Una sa Balita[1] (lit. You're First, My Friend: First in the News in English, and Una Ka Kaibigan: Una sa Balita in Filipino), also known as Una Ka BAI!: Balita At Iba pa was a morning news program aired on GMA Davao, patterned from GMA's national morning show Unang Hirit. The program was premiered in October 8, 2007 alongside Arangkada of GMA Iloilo/GMA Bacolod and aired together with Primera Balita of GMA Dagupan and Buena Mano Balita of GMA Cebu. The program preempts Unang Hirit's 2nd hour (around 6:00 to 7:00am) block.

Without saying goodbyes after 7 years, it had their final broadcast last April 24, 2015, as part of the streamlining of regional operations of GMA, after the broadcast, the on-air staff of the program were retrenched by the network's management.[3][4]
