Batang Canuck

New Children’s TV show launches at Philippine Day Festival in June

Their moms and dads grew at a time when children’s shows weren’t characterized by
production gimmicks or expensive props and location shootings. Back then, simplicity on its format was the charm, like the Uncle Bob’s Lucky 7 Club of Robert “Uncle Bob” Stewart, the first wholesome show for children, co-hosted by two lovely puppets, Spanky and Pancho. There was also “Eskuwelahang Munti”, “Batibot”, the famous “Sesame Street”, etc.

One of their favorite cartoons was a great white whale named Moby Dick who, as the story plot goes, rescued two boys from an underwater earthquake that tragically killed their families, Tom and Tub, and eventually became their gentle friend. This Hanna-Barbera cartoon then teamed up with “The Mighty Thor” and formed the half-hour TV show.

Batang Canucks, a vision of ReyFort Media Group, aims to bring to the tube a children’s TV show with a format of combining the “simplicity of the past” with the technology of the present.

For the first time, a TV show for kids which will focus on dynamic “edu-talentainment” (education, talent show and entertainment). It will also showcase vibrant activities for the kids geared towards value formation, talent enhancement, knowledge build-up and entertainment abilities.

Among the activities lined-up after its community launch at the Philippine Day Festival event on June 12, 2011 at the Waterfront Park celebration, are:
a.   “KIDS GOT TALENT” TV show segment (with weekly auditions)
b.   OCA’s “EDUCATIONAL Summer FIELDTRIP” tour
c.   “NOAH’s ARK animalloween” party event
d.   “SILVER JINGLE BELLS!” Kids Caroling Competition Fundraiser
e.   and many more!

“We’re just so excited and can’t wait to present “Batang Canucks” to the parents. There’s nothing like it, and the opportunities for kids to learn, show their talents, and enjoy every moment of their membership is simply breathtaking with educational!” said Rose Fortaleza, one of the prime movers of the show.

“Ibang klaseng show ito!” added her brother Rolly Fortaleza, “hindi lang pam-bata- pambuong pamilya pa!”

Taking of from the “Moby Dick” favourite of the moms and dads, Batang Canucks has for its official mascot, “OCA” the active whale. OCA represents an active, vibrant child filled with an enthusiasm to learn, to show his crafts and talents, and go, grow and glow with other kids. He’s unstoppable when it comes to unleashing his capabilities.

Be there at the Waterfront Park in North Vancouver on June 12, and register your kids to be a member of “Batang Canucks”. You sure will be glad you did! See you there!.
