History
Launched on February 14, 2022, the newscast marks the debut of GMA Batangas as an originating station, a year after the upgrade. It used to serve as a relay station for GMA 7 Manila. This show is produced by GMA Batangas Station.
After ground breaking the Bicol Region's (February 1, 2021) GMA Bicol Balitang Bicolandia, it is also the second GMA Regional TV newscast in Southern Luzon. But this time, GMA Batangas is significant to the Unified Southern Tagalog Newscast, which is originally and currently anchored by former TV Patrol Palawan Anchor and CNN Philippines correspondent Ivy Saunar-Gasang and Ace Medrano.
On April 29, 2022, GMA Batangas welcomes former TV Patrol Southern Tagalog host and correspondent Paul Hernandez on the newscast, replacing Illonah Manalo.
On June 20, 2022, GMA Batangas finally started hosting Regional TV News.
