History
It was launched in 2011 as a news portal of TV5 Network's news division despite the latter's having launched its own news portal website News5 Everywhere.
Following the suffrage in the media company's loss of revenues, TV5 decided to shut down the InterAksyon website by March 2018.[1][2][3] However, TV5 transferred ownership of InterAksyon to sister company Philstar Media Group, which currently runs the site under Philstar Global since March 2018.[4][5]
