iBalita Ako!
IBC News launched its own citizen journalism campaign during its coverage of the 2013 Elections. The campaign is now called iBalita Ako! (Tagalog for You News!), it reflects upon the station's flagship newscast Express Balita and Ronda Trese which runs out of a blog.

What once started out as an arms that is mainly dependent on using SMS and MMS technologies with its sequestered by the government, Hatol ng Bayan has provided more venues people who submit reports to HNB - through its digital and social media presences, including its Facebook account, Twitter account, and its redesigned website (where people could upload their reports through the website's "Submit" page or through using the Hashtag #IBAHatol2013). Hatol ng Bayan also comes as a feature in two mobile apps - IBCnews.com's and COMELEC's - which are present in iOS, Android, and Windows.

As answer to IBC's iBalita Ako!, the other two main competitor GMA and ABS-CBN both followed and had their own version of citizen journalism campaign named YouScoop! and Bayan Mo, iPatrol Mo! respectively.
