Smart Communications Inc. through Smart Communities’ Executive Ms. Lourdes Gocotano invited me to be one of the storytellers for their ECQ initiative, #LearnSmart with their main storyteller Kuya Rey Bufi of The Storytelling Project last April 25, 2020 at their FB Page.
I spoke Cebuano at the entire duration of my story with bits of English in between. The story I shared was an original story from the students of Cebu Technological University (CTU) – Argao Campus. The animation was created by the animation students of the University of Cebu – Banilad Campus.
The project was also guided by the Department of Education.
I had fun dubbing the voices of Tikboy and Lolo Melio, and the entire story of Argao, Cebu’s “Ang Diwata sa Konta” amazes me.
Aside from me, SMART also invited other guest storytellers like DepEd Undersecretary Toni Umali, and Kuya Kiefer Ravena for the Sports Education sessions.
Smart Communications’ Kaalam App was awarded last 2018 at the prestigious 54th Anvil Awards in Manila.
It also was the sole finalist from the Philippines for Asia’s prestigious GSMA’s Asia Mobile Awards 2019.
Enjoy the beauty of the Cebuano language to your children through the Kaalam app. The app is available through Google Play.
