Bitag (lit. 'Trap') is a Philippine television public service show broadcast by ABC/TV5, IBC, PTV and CLTV. Hosted by Ben Tulfo, it aired ABC from September 14, 2002 to February 22, 2003. The show moved to IBC from 2003 to 2011, TV5 from October 14, 2011 to August 3, 2012, replacing Totoo TV and was replaced by Reaksyon, PTV from August 11, 2012 to July 6, 2019 and returned to IBC from September 7 to November 2, 2019. Its success also spawned a recap (later talk) show that aired during weekday mornings as Bitag Live (formerly Bahala si Tulfo, Bahala sina Ben at Erwin Tulfo and Bahala si Bitag) broadcast by UNTV, AksyonTV, PTV, IBC, DZME and DWUN. It aired on UNTV from July 12, 2004 to 2013. The show moved to AksyonTV from 2013 to June 30, 2017, PTV from August 15, 2017 to January 6, 2023, and IBC from January 30, 2023 to January 31, 2024. Since January 30, 2023, Bitag Live, along with #ipaBITAGmo, is currently airing on IBC from 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM. The program is also streamed in various social media platforms such as Facebook and YouTube.
Bitag was also a segment of the now-defunct TV5 public service program T3: Alliance, where Ben co-hosts with his brothers, Erwin and Raffy Tulfo.
