CNN Philippines Newsroom is the newscast of CNN Philippines, airing 4 times a day Monday to Friday at 8:00am, 10:00am, 3:00pm and 9:00pm PST; and weekends at 12:00 noon and 6:00pm PST. Premiered on March 16, 2015 as a standalone noontime newscast and expanded since February 15, 2016,[2] the 8:00am edition is anchored by Claire Celdran, the 10:00am edition dubbed as Newsroom Ngayon is anchored by Ruth Cabal,[3] the 3:00pm edition dubbed as Global Newsroom is anchored by Pia Hontiveros and the 9:00pm edition is anchored by Mitzi Borromeo. The weekend edition dubbed as Newsroom Weekend is anchored by Mai Rodriguez.

Background

As a noontime newscast

The newscast was launched on March 16, 2015 as a 60-minute standalone noontime newscast, replacing 9TV's Newsday. It is first anchored by CNN Philippines News chief Jing Magsaysay and Mai Rodriguez, who was held over from Newsday.

In September 2015, Magsaysay left the newscast after his resignation following the "right-sizing" retrenchment of 70 junior staffers and contractual employees, who worked in the company for Programming and Technical Engineering divisions, leaving Rodriguez as the sole anchor.[4]

Expansion

On February 15, 2016, the newscast expanded its airtime, aligning with its international counterpart. However, the expansion reformatted from a single 60-minute newscast to three 30-minute editions in its initial run. The 8am edition was first anchored by Amelyn Veloso, who formerly anchored CNN Philippines Headline News and was concurrently hosting Serbisyo All Access. Claire Celdran replaced Rodriguez in the noontime edition while the latter became anchor of the network's weekend newscasts. The 9:00pm edition replaced CNN Philippines Nightly News, anchored by its holdover, Mitzi Borromeo. The English-language noontime edition and the original broadcast of Newsroom was axed on April 4, 2016 and reformatted to Balitaan with Pinky Webb.

On April 11, 2016, Newsroom debuted a 3 pm edition dubbed as Global Newsroom catering on international news relevant to Filipinos, first hosted by Claire Celdran.

On February 6, 2017, Newsroom launched its mid-morning edition in Filipino language dubbed as Newsroom Ngayon, anchored by Ruth Cabal replacing Serbisyo All Access.[3] Newsroom Ngayon serves as a sister newscast with CNN Philippines' first Filipino language newscast, Balitaan, which airs at midday.

On February 27, 2017, due to personnel reshuffling, Claire Celdran replaced Veloso at the 8 am slot while Network News anchor Pia Hontiveros took over the Global Newsroom chair.

On March 4, 2017, Newsroom launched its weekend edition anchored by the pioneer weekday noontime anchor Mai Rodriguez. It started out at the Saturday noontime slot until April 1, 2017 when it expanded to include broadcasts on weekend evenings at 6 pm, following the cancellation of Network News a week before as a result of the launching of News Night on weeknights from March 27. Newsroom Weekend later added a Sunday noontime edition on May 28, 2017 at the wake of the Marawi City crisis. Prior to a permanent weekend expansion, Rodriguez anchored special newscasts during severe weather coverage and other news of utmost importance.

Special editions

When warranted, Newsroom would air special editions of the newscast, either within or beyond the current five-edition format. Emulating its international counterpart, Newsroom preempts programming for rolling news coverage and breaking stories (i.e. Senate and Congress hearings, and hooking up to CNN International during major relevant overseas coverage). However, when special events warrant during the early primetime slot, this function goes to News Night with Pia Hontiveros until 8:00 pm and only under the most dire situations would warrant preemption of the weeknight 9:00 pm edition in favor of uninterrupted coverage starting from where News Night leaves off.

EDSA and Muhammad Ali

Under the initial three-split schedule, Newsroom aired additional editions on the 30th anniversary of the People Power Revolution and the aftermath of Muhammad Ali's death, respectively, with the broadcast airing four times on February 25, 2016, all but one edition airing a full hour. On June 6, 2016, Global Newsroom ran a full hour covering the aftermath of the boxer's death. Mico Halili co-anchored the broadcast with Claire Celdran and Dr. Freddie Gomez providing medical perspective, augmenting the network's extended bulletins done on the day of Ali's death.

The Marawi City crisis

At the onset of the Marawi City crisis on May 23, 2017, the entire primetime current affairs block gave way to initial developments of the unfolding situation in the city with Pia Hontiveros anchoring uninterrupted coverage for four hours from 6:00 to 10:00 pm. Only the usual 10:00 pm edition of Sportsdesk was greenlit before Mitzi Borromeo resumed coverage for another half-hour. To further cope up with the developments in the city, Newsroom Ngayon added a special 2:00 pm edition during the third day of the conflict and Newsroom Weekend added a special Saturday morning edition on May 27 and a Sunday noontime edition on May 28. On the latter days of the conflict, Mindanao Hour press conferences were broadcast to serve as a lead in to Balitaan.

Resorts World Manila robbery

The incident marked the program's lengthiest uninterrupted coverage outside of scheduled political functions, totalling almost six hours. Ruth Cabal anchored a three-hour block from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm, before breaking away to simulcast CNN Newsroom International. Pia Hontiveros took the air from 2:00 to 2:30 and 3:00-5:00 pm. The coverage was heavily delivered in Filipino on the first two blocks before reverting to English on the extended slot of Global Newsroom. Again, SportsDesk was greenlit but the planned morning edition was broadcast live-to-tape at 2:30 pm, deviating from the regular protocol of replaying the live 11:00 am broadcast on the slot. The following day, three editions was aired instead of the usual two for Saturdays. A special edition was aired at 10:00 am followed by the usual broadcast at 12:00 noon and the 6:00 pm edition was temporarily moved up to 5:30 pm and ran one and a half-hours covering the press conference revealing CCTV footage of the incident.

Current presenters

The presenters of the broadcasts are arranged according to assigned slots and priority when special editions would warrant across their timeslots.
