Aksyon (lit. Action), is the flagship national network news program broadcast by TV5 in the Philippines. Its main primetime weeknight edition, also known as Aksyon Prime, broadcasts from 6:15 to 7:30 pm (PST), and is co-anchored by News5 Chief Luchi Cruz-Valdez and veteran news anchor Erwin Tulfo.

In mid-2014, Aksyon expanded to different editions on weekdays: Aksyon sa Umaga, Aksyon sa Tanghali, and Aksyon Tonite (in which the word "tonite" must be understood as a filipinism of the English word "tonight").

The morning (until 6AM), primetime and late-night editions of the newscast are both simulcasted on radio through 92.3 News FM in Mega Manila and its provincial Radyo5 stations nationwide.

All of its editions are aired overseas via Kapatid TV5 and AksyonTV International.

The newscast is based on News5's slogan "Higit sa Balita, Impormasyon at Kaganapan, Aksyon" which literally means "Beyond the news, information, and events, Action." Aksyon premiered on April 5, 2010 at 9:00 pm with Paolo Bediones and Cheryl Cosim as its first anchors. The news program used a touch-screen television called "Aksyon Board." It is the first local newscast to report via Live-Pack in contrast to the OB Vans used by its competitors. There is also a round-up news update called Aksyon Ngayon anchored by Dindo Flora, Cristina Lazo, and former Tambayan 101.9 (now MOR 101.9) DJ Reggie Valdez.

On October 25, 2010, Erwin Tulfo of the police-report-and-public-service-segment Aksyon Metro joined the newscast and their time slot was moved to 6:00 pm, then 5:45 pm, and then 5:30 pm serving as a former lead-in to the network's former variety shows Willing Willie/Wil Time Bigtime. On that same day, the newscast also introduced a new augmented virtuality set and OBB.
