It is also have a short-lived weekend edition from August–November 2012 anchored by Martin Andanar.

Background

News5 gives birth to a new genre in broadcasting with Reaksyon, a news magazine and public affairs segment that will widen people's knowledge of the news through in-depth reports and first hand insights from a mix of young and seasoned journalists of the news organization led by Luchi Cruz-Valdes.

This program delivers a brief but broad look at stories through exposés, and easy-to-digest investigative reports. Consistent with its name, Reaksyon also hears both sides of the story, and equally important, hears viewers’ insights on every issue being presented.^[1]

Reaksyon briefly ceased airing on July 18, 2014 as it morphed as an segment of newly reformatted Aksyon Prime, in which Valdes will be the anchor, but it resumed its airing on November 3, and its segment on the newscast is now aired as Reaksyon Agad, a preview for the latest Reaksyon episode.

The program had its last episode after 5 years on November 3, 2017 as part of ESPN 5's upcoming expansion.
