Dateline Philippines is the flagship midday newscast of the ABS-CBN News Channel (ANC) covering the day's most important headlines in politics, business, sports, and entertainment.

Furthermore, with ABS-CBN shutting down free-to-air operations due to the expiration of its legislative franchise and in compliance with the NTC's cease and desist order, the current status of the said edition remained unknown until it was eventually cancelled as a result of the network's shutdown and permanent loss of broadcast franchise followed by the company's retrenchment layoffs.

Dateline Philippines Weekday and Saturday editions resumed on air in full scale on April 26, 2020, when the timesharing of programming between both DZMM TeleRadyo and ANC ended.

Dateline Philippines Weekend aired its final episode on November 30, 2024, along with other Saturday newscasts produced by the channel.

The network cited financial difficulties due to declining advertising revenue as the reason for these measures.
