Bandila (lit. flag or banner) is an International Academy of Television Arts and Sciences-nominated late night national flagship newscast of ABS-CBN. It replaced ABS-CBN Insider and returned Korina Sanchez back to newscasting after nearly two years since she left TV Patrol. It was launched on July 3, 2006 as part of the network's re-programming campaign.
Henry Omaga-Diaz and Ces Drilon joins Sanchez as co-anchors of the said program.

"Bandila", which is the Filipino word for flag, also alludes to the term “banner story,” or top news of the day. It airs Monday to Thursday 10:45 to 11:15 PM and Friday 12:15 to 12:45 AM.
Maria Ressa, head of ABS-CBN News & Current Affairs Division explained this as: “Three colors, three stars, three anchors.” Charie Villa, head of newsgathering, said Ces Oreña-Drilon, Henry Omaga-Diaz and Sanchez were “three of the network’s most experienced reporters-anchors.” The news program gave a comeback to journalist Korina Sanchez after she was appointed as Chief Correspondent for Philippine and Global Operations of ABS-CBN News.
The network's goal for Bandila was to make it agenda-setting, nationalistic and fast-paced.
The move of the network to put the late-evening news program in an earlier timeslot is said to be the station's response towards responsible journalism and public service. It is pitted against comedy programs of the other networks.
It is also the very first news program in the history of Philippine Television (and probably in the history of News & Journalism) that had an official theme song, titled Isang Bandila composed and sung by Rivermaya and Rico Blanco. That said, it may very well be the first news program in television or radio to use musical cues in the rock genre.
During its pilot episode, it broadcasted the controversial video of General Lim organizing a coup d'état against President Gloria Arroyo.
The over-all Executive-in-charge of Production of the news program is Luchi Cruz-Valdez. Anchor Sanchez is situated in the studio, while Drilon and Diaz report from the newsroom.
On November 2006, Australian broadcaster, SBS, broadcasts "Bandila" at 6:50am Tuesday-Saturday, replacing NBN's Teledyaryo as the Filipino News service on Worldwatch. "Bandila" is also broadcasted on the digital multichannel, SBS World News Channel on replay at 6:50am, 3:00pm and 9:35pm Tuesday-Saturday. The program is on a day delay, and is fed from ABS-CBN's satellite service, TFC.
Bandila became popular because it went where its competitor dared not to go in terms of reportage style and the choice of timeslot. It was known for airing blow-by-blow account of the events in Lebanon and Israel with the help of their appointed Chiefs from the network's Europe and Middle East News Bureau. The Lebanon-Israel War and OFW rescue coverage was and is still being covered exclusively because ABS-CBN is the only station that was able to send a news team in Beirut and Israel. It was also consistent in reporting exclusive stories that are never reported by other news programs.
At the height of the Nursing Board Exam leakage issue in the Philippines, Bandila is the only news program that was able to reveal the Nursing board exam review centers and schools that received a copy of the leakage. It was also the very first news program that revealed the name of the officials who initiated the leakage, and the first to interview Nursing board exam takers that attended the distribution of the leaked review materials. Veering from a usual practice of news programs, Bandila noticeably dispelled with entertainment gossip & crime reports. This bold move was acclaimed by the media practitioners in the country. Bandila has also toned down the volume insofar as news reading is concerned, shying away from the loud and exaggerated delivery of the news by its competitors.
Bandila was also lauded for its comprehensive report on the Subic Rape Case. The report gave the news program its first ever nomination for the Philippines on the International Emmy Awards spearheaded by the The International Academy of Television Arts and Sciences.12
In the September 2006 Issue of PJR Reports, a newspaper released by the Center of Media Freedom and Responsibility, it was mentioned that Bandila’s strength is its willingness to take a story and explore the various issues surrounding it. To quote the article, "it takes an issue to another level by adding perspective and analysis to it, thereby providing viewers a journalistic ingredient sorely lacking in many TV reports: context". Such objective causes the reports to be longer than usual.
