Co-partnership with the NCCA, in celebration of Pinoy Values Month
November is Filipino Values Month, and Knowledge Channel Foundation Inc. (KCFI) celebrates anew the wonders of Pinoy core values and their significance to today's youth through its Bálay Pinoy School Caravan, in partnership with the National Council for the Culture and the Arts (NCCA).
KCFI and NCCA brought the two-day caravan to the students of Pedro Guevarra Elementary School (Binondo, Manila) and Jose Rizal Elementary School (Pasay) last November 14 and 15, respectively. This year, more than 700 learners participated in the Bálay Pinoy events, contributing to another memorable and educational celebration of Values Month with the Knowledge Channel Foundation and NCCA.
Hosted by Kapamilya singer-host Marlo Mortel, the caravan also featured performances by rising singer-songwriter Daniel Paringit and ventriloquist Ony Carcamo, a multi-Palanca award-winning writer—with their acts showcasing the wonders of Filipino culture and core values to young students.
KCFI vice president Edric Calma expressed his appreciation for the Bálay Pinoy School Caravan, noting that Knowledge Channel remains committed to integrating values into its educational programming across various subjects.
"We always make sure to integrate values in all the educational shows that we produce, even if it is for Mathematics, Science, Araling Panlipunan (AP), Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE), or Physical Education (PE). We are happy to have a month-long celebration dedicated to Filipino values led by the NCCA because it brings focus to this important topic," Edric stated.
Likewise, NCCA's deputy director, Marichu Tellano, emphasized the importance of Bálay Pinoy and the celebration of Values Month for Filipino youth. She highlighted the role of education in instilling essential values from a young age—furthering their holistic development.
As a gesture of gratitude, KCFI and NCCA presented a Knowledge Channel Portable Media Library package to each school visited by Bálay Pinoy—providing offline access to over 1,500 video lessons, learning resources, and session guides aligned with the Department of Education's curriculum.
