History

''Ulat Bayan'' started airing as a daily primetime newscast on July 10, 2017, replacing '' PTV News Primetime Edition'', as part of programming changes brought about by the relaunch of PTV on June 28, 2017. PTV News holdover Aljo Bendijo and Catherine Vital (from the late-night edition) first served as anchors. Roughly after two months, the weekday edition was axed and reverted to PTV News, with anchoring changes also made in the chair. Tulfo and Querrer began anchoring the relaunched PTV News, while ''Ulat Bayan'' became a weekend newscast which aired on Saturdays and Sundays from 6:00 to 7:00 PM PST and with the Sunday edition being replayed every Monday from 6:00 to 7:00 AM PST. It was also simulcasted on government radio network

. Before its 2020 relaunch, the program was anchored by a rotation of weekend anchors which included Ignacio, Guilas, Ralph Obina (now with DZBB), Joseph Parafina, Juliet Caranguian, and a rotation of PTV News' Senior Correspondents. It was slated to air again on weekday evenings beginning August 12, 2020, but was put on hold after COVID-19 infections in the People's Television Network, as well as disinfection procedures. This delayed the relaunch to almost a month, with the new Ulat Bayan plugs teasing Tulfo's return airing before September 7. On its debut episode, ''Ulat Bayan'', alongside new morning show ''
