Since he did not become a news anchor for GMA News, and due to TV5 can't hire news anchor from ABS-CBN and GMA when Manny Pangilinan acquire TV5 from Tonyboy Cojuangco in late 2009, Bediones became a news anchor of Aksyon alongside Cheryl Cosim and later Erwin Tulfo.

On February 22, 2012, Bediones joined together with Cheri Mercado to anchor a former news program entitled Pilipinas News replacing the former news program, Aksyon Journalismo.

On July 21, 2014, Bediones reunited with Cheryl Cosim for a new news program entitled Aksyon Tonite. This was Paolo's fourth over-all news program on News5 via TV5. He quit in late August, as he will shortly start a new restaurant business
