ABS-CBN News gears up for the upcoming midterm elections with its comprehensive coverage of Halalan 2025 airing across multiple digital and television platforms, along with its electoral interview features, school tour programs, and launching of its live Halalan webpage.
On the day of the elections this May 12, ABS-CBN News goes live with its Halalan 2025 special coverage, with its reporters stationed across the country to deliver the latest updates and provide an up-to-date count on the number of national and local votes.
