PTV News and Public Affairs

PTV News and Public Affairs (formerly NBN News and Public Affairs and also known as PTV News or PTV Newscenter) is the news division of the government-owned TV station People's Television Network. The organization is responsible for the daily news and information gathering for its news programs. It offers PTV and its media portal PTVNews.ph.

PTV News and Public Affairs is currently headed by Edgar Reyes as the head for news and public affairs and Rocky Ignacio as the head for news operations, and is headquartered at Broadcast Complex, Visayas Avenue, Barangay Vasra, Diliman, Quezon City.

Firsts
PTV News set a number of firsts in news reporting in the country. These include the use of Live-Pack and a newscenter using a full-fledged stand-up delivery with a large screen at their back.

All newscasts (except PTV News Headlines and PNA Newsroom which are delivered in English) are presented in the Filipino vernacular.
