Knowledge Channel Foundation Inc. Interns Develop Learning Materials for Public School Children

Public school children will soon be able to enjoy learning from new multimedia learning materials developed by multimedia arts students who took part under Knowledge Channel Foundation Inc.'s internship program.

 

"Our interns have been playing significant and pivotal roles in achieving Knowledge Channel's vision. They have made significant contributions for KCFI in animation, software development, marketing and communication, and other outputs that benefit our Filipino learners and teachers.  It is not just about the work they do but the impact they make on the public school system and subsequently, on the country," Knowledge Channel president and executive director Rina Lopez-Bautista said. 

 

A majority of the 168 interns collaborated with animation developers to animate Department of Education-prescribed textbooks and children's stories to be shown on-air via Knowledge Channel, online through www.knowledgechannel.org, and offline through the Knowledge Channel Portable Media Library. They also assisted in engaging school communities and produced marketing materials for the educational animation videos. 

 

"Basa Bilang" is a program that aims to educate Grades 1 to 3 learners on Oracy, Beginning Reading (in English and Filipino), and Early Numeracy through animated videos.

 

The internship's success has led most students to want to stay on as volunteers. This led to the creation of a volunteer component of the program and making it the Knowledge Channel Volunteer and Internship Program or KCVIP.  Alongside this is the announcement of the senior high school immersion component.

 

KCFI aims to develop more videos for primary grade beginning reading and math in the next three years to help improve student proficiencies in these subjects which are the cornerstones of higher learning. By mastering the basics of reading and numeracy, pupils will be able to better face challenges in school and in life.

Feel Good Millenial Movie “Because I Love You” Niw Showing in Theaters Nationwide

In the movie, Shaira plays the feisty, street-smart firefighter who proudly continues her departed dad's heroic legacy. This is a far cry from the stereotypical sweet and demure belles who spend their lives chasing their "happily ever after" moments. In the film, Shaira also showcases woman empowerment and that each woman can pursue any dream job they wishes to do because they CAN. 

David Licauco on the other hand plays a rich polo player Rael. In the film, at first he is in denial that he will fall for someone like Summer because she has a strong personality and she's very independent, but as he gets to know Summer more, things change and soon, he will find himself falling for someone completely opposite his personality. 

Because I Love You is produced by ALV Films under Arnold Vegaria. "Because I Love You" is the second film released by ALV Films. The cast also includes Michelle Dee, Timothy Lawrence Yap, Martin del Rosario and Samantha Lopez, among others and it's already showing in Cinemas Nationwide.

Welcome to “Rocketman” The Birth of an Epic Musical Odyssey

 

Fresh from its successful premiere in Cannes where it was greeted by a wild, standing ovation, Paramount Pictures' Rocketman is an epic musical fantasy about the incredible human story of Elton John's breakthrough years. 

 

(Watch the film's new TV spot at https://youtu.be/4QflYUNWVko.)

 

"This movie is about when I started to become famous," says Elton John. "It was an extraordinary and surreal time, and that's how I wanted the film to be."

 

It should come as no surprise that conventional movie making was never going to work for the telling of Elton John's life story – it simply could not contain it. Elton's transformation from the shy, working-class piano prodigy Reginald Dwight into a global music superstar was as tempestuous, outrageous, and plain dangerous as it was inspirational and brave. No regular movie was ever going to do it justice.

 

Welcome to Rocketman – an epic musical odyssey that blurs the lines of fantasy and reality, fuses the worlds of music, fame and fashion, and stamps a glittery platform heel down on the cinematic rulebook. Rocketman takes audiences on an uncensored journey through the life of an icon, with Elton's most beloved songs – reimagined and updated in breakthrough musical and dramatic performances by the young cast – propelling and shaping the story.

 

"The idea," says its director, Dexter Fletcher, "was to create something that would genuinely explode off the screen, a riotous joy-ride of imagination, celebration and drama."

 

In Rocketman, Elton John is played by Taron Egerton, delivering an astonishing performance that has seen him record new versions of some of John's most famous songs. As the film follows Elton from his English hometown of Pinner and along the yellow brick road of fame, addiction and heartbreak, we will also meet the mother he had a troubled relationship with (Bryce Dallas Howard), his manager and onetime lover, John Reid (Richard Madden), and his legendary lyricist Bernie Taupin (Jamie Bell), the best friend and creative partner of over 50 years without whom John might not have survived. As Elton, who gave the cast and crew of Rocketman free reign to tell his story, says: "My life has been pretty crazy. The lows were very low, the highs were very high. Unfortunately, there wasn't much balance in between."

 

For Rocketman producer, Matthew Vaughn, it was important to find the right way to tell the story of a completely unordinary life. And he discovered it on his first read of Lee Hall's screenplay. "Lee had done this magnificent job," says Vaughn, "of creating a musical that isn't really a musical, a biopic that isn't a biopic, a fantasy that is based on reality and a reality that is based on fantasy."

 

As young Elton wrestles with his private image, his sexuality, his childhood troubles and his many adult addictions, he very publicly finds escape through the music that sees him explode onto the global scene. He is empowered by an extraordinary stage persona with outrageous costumes, and a particularly unique view of the world through tinted, wide-eyed glasses. In the words of Rocketman's acclaimed music director, Giles Martin, "Elton hits the piano keys as if to punch back at the planet."

 

The result is a film (over 10 years in the making) that is as extraordinary as its subject. "What these guys have done with my story is just astonishing," says John. "It's brutally honest and doesn't pull any punches, but I can't wait for audiences to see it and, hopefully, love it as much as I do."

 

In Philippine cinemas June 19, Rocketman is distributed in the Philippines by United International Pictures through Columbia Pictures.  Follow us on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/uipmoviesph/; Twitter at https://twitter.com/uipmoviesph  and Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/uipmoviesph/.
