MANILA, Philippines – Knowledge Channel launched its newest offering, the K Channel On-Demand for Early Childhood and Development – Kuwentong Pambata last August 20, 2014 at Bagong Ilog Elementary School in Pasig City.

Recognizing the immense influence of television, these animations are inculcated with Filipino values and tradition instilling the love of learning and discovery among children as they enter formal education.

“Today’s launch of Kuwentong Pambata—an animated series of 52 Adarna Storybooks, is yet another milestone in Knowledge Channel’s pursuit for making effective learning happen across all sectors of the education system,” commends Mr. Oscar Lopez, Chairman Emeritus of Lopez Holdings.

“We at the Knowledge Channel believe that learning can be done best if we are able to create learning experiences that are responsive to the natural abilities and talents of learners so that we can hone them to love learning and be active participants in their own learning. This to us is the key for them to attain their best selves,” said Knowledge Channel president and Executive Director Rina Lopez-Bautista in her speech.

Also present were Chairman Emeritus of Lopez Holdings, Mr. Oscar Lopez, Raissa Hechanova-Posadas from the Knowledge Channel Board of Trustees, DSWD Secretary Dinky Soliman, Pasig City Mayor Hon.
