Education is one of the sectors that has been affected dramatically by the pandemic. Aside from the threat of Covid-19, students, families, and educators face other challenges such as limited to no internet connection and expensive Internet data costs. To reach more students even in remote areas, the Philippine Cable and Telecommunications Association (PCTA) has partnered with the Department of Education (DepEd) and Knowledge Channel to provide easier access to students through televised learning materials that will be aired on TV for students.
Together, the PCTA member-cable operators are serving 75% of the total cable TV subscribers in the Philippines.
“Many Filipino students living in remote areas are constrained by the accessibility and speed of Internet connection, and the high cost of data to stay connected. Learning then begins to feel like a difficult chore, and a hurdle to overcome. Yet, these households have television sets even before mobile phones and laptops. We are hopeful that we ease the challenges our students face as they will now have easier access to free educational content aired in cable television channels,” said Joel Dabao, PCTA President.
The partnership was sealed through a signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the DepEd and the Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO) to make full use of their cable TV systems activating their member operators participation in this national effort of airing DepEd TV programs for school year 2020-21.
PCTA members have agreed to air informational materials from DepEd TV that are standardized for academic institutions nationwide. “Many remote areas will be covered by this service, and we are privileged to serve as conduits of enriched learning during this trying time. Our mission is to ensure that no Filipino student is left behind,” furthered Dabao.
Education Secretary Leonor Briones lauded the agreement during the MOU signing, as it paves the way for the department’s access to television and cable for their distance learning program, with cable provider access of up to three channels to air content produced by the DepEd Central Office. These will be a valuable resource for students who do not have access to the internet and those who cannot afford to purchase gadgets such as mobile phones, laptops and tablets.
Aside from airing DepEd TV materials, PCTA also announced a partnership with Knowledge Channel which encourages PCTA members’ cable systems to include Knowledge Channel in their line-up and air its TV-based educational content.
The Knowledge Channel has long had a strong supporter in the PCTA since 2003. Elvira Lopez-Bautista, President and Executive Director of the Knowledge Channel Foundation, highlights that television can be a powerful tool for learning and will help Filipino children absorb not only their academic lessons but, also enhance values learning through engaging content.
“My fervent wish is that through this bayanihan effort with cable providers, distance learning will become more accessible, feasible, affordable, and most of all, enjoyable for every Filipino child,” said Lopez-Bautista. “With Knowledge Channel Foundation and PCTA working together, mas masaya matuto ng bago.”
“Now, more than ever, education should be at the forefront of our concerted efforts to build a society that is resilient even in the face of a pandemic. As we forge these partnerships, we let the bayanihan spirit prevail for the common good where we all work together for the future of Filipino children,” added Dabao.

Have less worries and protect yourself from tricky, embarrassing situations with Diatabs, the trusted remedy for diarrhea.
As the number of months under quarantine increases, so too does our craving for social gatherings and physical interactions. And while we do miss a lot of aspects in our lives before the pandemic, there are just some parts of it that we don’t—traffic, bumping into people we wish we wouldn’t, and the occasional awkward, sticky, and embarrassing social moments.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard we try, these things happen. So, with restrictions beginning to ease and with most people settling into the “new normal”, it would be a great time to remember all these tricky situations and come up with countermeasures to turn them from a tormenting memory into a memorable one.
Autocorrect
This is one of those technological innovations that prove to be a double-edged sword. On one hand, it brings convenience and ease of communication especially when you’re on-the-go, but on the other—and for some strange reason—it transforms mundane responses into very colorful ones. And this is especially true for Filipino users because autocorrect almost always transforms a Tagalog word into the nearest—and most inappropriate—English word.
A good comeback from this would be to acknowledge it, laugh it off, and even turn it into a fun banter. Also, make sure to re-read your messages before sending them. You wouldn’t want a simple “Thanks, tita” to turn into an obscene phrase you’d have to explain to your aunt.
Forgetting someone’s name
While there was an easy fix for this problem during quarantine—display names in video communication platforms—this tricky situation will still exist in the next normal. For this, you can play an old trick in the book by asking them to input their contact details on your phone or go digital and ask for their name on Facebook for a quick friend request.
Family reunions
Ah the famed Filipino family reunion where titos and titas just can’t help themselves from blurting out “compliments” on weight and relationship status. There are plenty of options to survive these events like being frank with your relatives or simply shrugging off their comments, but a fun and creative solution would be to clap back with sarcasm. Not only will it help diffuse the tension, but serve as an announcement that you are perfectly confident with who you are and that no one can mess with you.
Upset stomach
You’ve had a great morning so far. You woke up on time, you plotted your schedule for the day, and you were able to make yourself a great breakfast—something you haven’t done in ages. But while you’re on Grab car or in the meeting that just began, your stomach starts to feel uncomfortable and you find it hard to focus.
The best solution for this problem is to take a quality antidiarrheal medicine like Diatabs. Diatabs can easily take care of your stomach problems for you and give you the peace of mind you need when it comes to bowel trouble. What’s more is that Diatabs is a product of Unilab, a trusted brand in the country, so you can rest assured knowing that you are taking a quality tested and proven medicine for diarrhea.
Aside from guaranteed quality and safety—an assurance backed by data from regular quality tests that you’re not assured of by less established brands. Diatabs is more accessible to Filipinos as it can be bought in leading drugstores nationwide.

While liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is highly versatile for different applications, it can also be very dangerous. A lot of work goes into making sure genuine LPG products and cylinders are safe because otherwise, it can spell the difference between life and death.
There are many safety regulations that genuine LPG brands need to go through and pass. Strict parameters are set to verify LPG products’ authenticity, cylinder parts and features, weight, quality, and safety as well as the refilling procedures from the refilling process down to the moment of purchase. Of course, during tough times, going the cheaper route is extremely attractive. But are the risks worth it in exchange of a few pesos saved?
Here are three reasons why you’re always better off with the real deal:
You’re protected from potential gas leaks that could lead to massive fire accidents
LPG is a high performing fuel that is reactive and flammable. However, it’s not its properties that make it more dangerous but its form, the moment it leaks out of its tank. Most LPG-related fires are due to gas leaks that might lead to massive explosions, while a fraction is due to the spread of flames from faulty LPG paraphernalia.
Only the authentic LPG cylinders are guaranteed safe and in good condition. Trusted brands such as Solane have authorized retailers that only sell cylinders that pass the Philippine National Standard (PNS) set to ensure the safety and quality of LPG cylinders and products in terms of the requirements for the materials, design, construction, testing and markings of steel cylinders; the methods for the requalification of tanks allowed to be used in the storage, handling, and transportation; as well as the removal and corrective measures for purchased LPGs.
Hence, consumers can trust that every verified Solane cylinder is thoroughly inspected from production to its installation.
Your burners will produce cleaner, quality flames
There are cases when, instead of catching fire, gas leaks lead to poisoning and asphyxiation or the deprivation of oxygen. Because LPG is a gaseous mixture that has direct hazards on humans if consumed in large quantities, its release from its container must be regulated. Additionally, low-quality flames contribute to faster soot build-up especially burners are not maintained overtime.
If you have a verified Solane LPG cylinder, you can easily control the flame quality when cooking. Solane LPGs have effective regulators that control the release of LPG to avoid unwanted leaks that may be toxic for your kitchen. AS regulators, commonly known as “de salpak/roskas”, for instance, have an “excess flow limiter” that limits the flow of LPG when it senses a leak.
You’re getting your money’s worth
People who invest in genuine and top-quality LPGs get exactly what they’re paying for. Fake or copycat LPG products have previously been reported to be underfilled or mixed with water to meet weight requirements. Not only does this end up costing consumers more money, it can also be potentially dangerous. Verified genuine LPG tanks will always contain the exact amount of pure LPG indicated on the cylinder. Verified Solane LPG cylinders, for instance, contain exactly 11kgs of LPG.
More importantly, consumers who invest in verified LPGs are assured of their family’s safety. At the end of the day, what benefits them the most is having the peace of mind that under any circumstance, their family is safe with the LPG they purchase.
Considering these reasons, the next step to securing your safety is choosing the right brand to trust. Choose verified Solane LPG from authorized retailers to ensure that your purchase will always be genuine. Solane even offers to double check their tanks upon delivery, as well as ensure that the placement of the cylinders and connected burners are ideal for installation through their 7-point safety check.
