Bitag

Bitag (lit. 'Trap') is an investigative and public service program hosted by Ben Tulfo and produced by Bitag Media Unlimited Inc. (formerly BST Tri-Media Production) that airs in the Philippines. Launched on September 14, 2002, it first aired on ABC (now TV5) before moving the following year to IBC before returning again to TV5, before moving in 2012 to syndication on the government-owned PTV. It was aired on IBC every Saturday night from 8:00 PM to 9:00 PM. Its success also spawned a recap (later talk) show that aired during weekday mornings on UNTV as Bitag Live, and simulcast on radio through DZME and DWUN. Since January 30, 2023, Bitag Live, along with #ipaBITAGmo, is currently airing on IBC and CLTV36 from 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM. The program is also streamed in various social media platforms such as Facebook and YouTube.
