TV Patrol is the flagship national network news broadcast of ABS-CBN in the Philippines. It can be heard simultaneously on radio through DZMM Radyo Patrol 630 and its cable channel counterpart DZMM TeleRadyo and its provincial AM radio stations, with several MOR stations nationwide. It is also broadcast overseas via ABS-CBN's international brand, The Filipino Channel. It is the longest-running Filipino language evening newscast since its inception on March 2, 1987.
Following the People Power Revolution in the fourth quarter of 1986, ABS-CBN News executives, among them the then News Manager Angelo Castro Jr., began holding meetings with higher-ups on plans to launch an all-new news program that will serve as a replacement to Balita Ngayon. On March 1, 1987, ABS-CBN announced the launch of TV Patrol during the public variety extravaganza "Ang Pagbabalik ng Bituin" (The Return of the Star) at Luneta Park, Manila.
TV Patrol premiered on March 2, 1987 at 6:00 pm. Co-anchoring the newscast were Noli de Castro, a radio announcer for DZMM, Mel Tiangco and Robert Arevalo, both final anchors of Balita Ngayon. De Castro began the pilot and subsequent episodes with his iconic opening line, "Magandang Gabi....Bayan" ("Good evening, nation") and ended with his closing line, "Maraming Salamat, Magandang Gabi, Bayan" ("Thank you and good night, nation") to end the newscast. De Castro's signature line became a news magazine program which hosted by himself on the same name of a signature line. The signature line went popularized until November 19, 2004, the day Korina Sanchez first left the newscast, and again since November 8, 2010, the day of his return.
