Pangunahing Balita (lit: Headliner) is the first Filipino language newscast of ABC 5 from March 19, 1962 to September 22, 1972 when DZTM-TV 5 was closed down due to Martial Law.

Premiered in March 19, 1962, Pangunahing Balita is the first Filipino language late afternoon newscast of ABC 5. Anchored by Paul Lacanilao, the newscast airs the news of the day in the local and international scene. It also became an inspiration to have other TV stations a Filipino-language newscast like Balita Ngayon of ABS-CBN, which aired from 1967 to 1972.

It was aired in the late afternoon slot, and has 2 editions. The first edition airs at 4:30 pm, while the final edition airs at 5:45 pm.

In 1988, PTV 4 launches Pangunahing Balita as its Filipino-language newscast. It became the household name for their Tagalog newscast.
