Bitag () 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 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: Reload, where Ben co-hosts with his brothers, Erwin and Raffy Tulfo.

Bitag operates semi-autonomously, conducting reconnaissance and surveillance and deploys their own agents as undercovers. When enough intelligence is gathered, Ben coordinates with the local authorities to plan the manner of arrest and follows them with his convoy of security back-ups and camera men to document the entire procedure and its aftermath. In accordance with Ben's eschewal of "drama" and production in favor of "real reality", most cases air days after the shoot with minor cuts and editing used only to fit the documented footage under 10 minute segments. This is further proven by Ben's occasional absence in his AksyonTV show Bitag Live on weekdays, when he personally oversees certain case operations. There are times where government agencies themselves invite BITAG to document an impending operation, popularly with drug raids. This has occurred several times in the show, and one instance united the four Tulfo broadcasters together. The programs segments are classified according to their nature: Operations, which document actual Bitag operations in coordination with law enforcement elements. Updates, or follow-up reports on the status of successful Bitag operations. Kilos Pronto segments, which showcase immediate action or assistance on complaints or concerns. Akto segments, usually depicting irregularities or "questionable" situations unexpectedly encountered by Bitag (caught in
