- ABS-CBN News and Current Affairs is the news and current affairs division of Philippines broadcaster ABS-CBN. The organization is responsible for the daily news and information gathering of the network's news & current affairs programs. According to a SWS media trust survey, ABS-CBN News & Current Affairs topped the list, garnering 68% of public trust; thus its current slogan "Panig sa Katotohanan, Panig sa Bayan" (Sides for the Truth, Sides for the People). It serves the main ABS-CBN Broadcasting Corporation, ABS-CBN Regional Network Group, Studio 23, ABS-CBN Radio (both AM and FM networks) and the ABS-CBN News Channel. The division operates mainly from the ABS-CBN Broadcast Complex in Quezon City while the regional ABS-CBN stations also have their local news divisions, which also help in newsgathering for the whole network. It also has several foreign bureaus—one each in North America, Europe, the Middle East, and now in Australia with the help of ABS-CBN Global. The organization is split into three sub-groups: News Group, headed by ABS-CBN Vice-President and former CNN Jakarta Bureau Chief Maria Ressa; Current Affairs Group, headed by former American Broadcasting Company news correspondent and former GMA Network vice president for news and public affairs Luchi-Cruz Valdez; and News Gathering Group, headed by former Reuters correspondent and one-time ABS-CBN reporter Charie Villa. Aside from regular programming, it also operates the ABS-CBN News Channel, the first and currently only 24 hour news channel in the country. The division also operates a news website in partnership with The Philippine Star and The Manila Times.
