Pulso-Aksyon-Balita

Pulso: Aksyon Balita (Pulse: Action News) is the first Filipino language late- night newscast of ABS-CBN pitting up against GMA Network's Frontpage: Ulat ni Mel Tiangco. This newscast was headlined by Ted Failon (followed by Erwin Tulfo, Gel Santos-Relos) and Korina Sanchez. It was premiered on August 16, 1999 replacing The World Tonight due to low ratings on English late night newscasts after 1998 when rival GMA introduced all-Tagalog news broadcast with GMA Network News. However, on October 11, 1999, Failon and Sanchez were about to be replaced from the newscast since they were taken in only a temporary basis and not permanent for them being anchors.

To help kick-off the newscast on February 14, 2000, Atty. Dong Puno Jr. replaced Failon after the latter was clearing the management from the start that the favor for the network is a temporary agreement and Gel Santos-Relos took Sanchez's position at the same day. However, it was cancelled and went its final broadcast on September 29, 2000 and was replaced by ABS-CBN Headlines.

Origin
The name Pulso came from the ABS-CBN's early evening newscast TV Patrol's live discussion segment PULSO or Pangkalahatang Ugnayan Laan Sa Opinyon which was used from 1987 up to 1996 and it revived as Pulso ng Bayan from 2010 to 2012.
