MANILA, Philippines - Now on its fourth season, TV5’s Batibot welcomes Koko Kwik Kwak and his friends Pawi, Tikky, Kara, Rema, Lila, Tami and Ambak and Dakon Palaka to the show’s fun ensemble. The new characters will also teach families how to preserve endangered animals and take care of the environment. Some of them are based on newly-discovered animal species in various parts of the country.
Executive producer and educator Feny delos Angeles-Bautista explains that the new season of Batibot has something for every child and child-at-heart. “The new characters represent viewers of all ages as we acknowledge the developmental and individual differences that make them special,” she says. Batibot’s episodes also complement the Department of Education’s new national curriculum for kindergarten students and the DSWD’s early childhood program. This means that children benefit from the constructive combination of learning experiences from home, school and viewing Batibot which provides a strong foundation for their entry and transition into school and onwards.
The latest season will also feature themes like keeping safe at home and in the community and a special episode on water safety. It will also teach children about safety habits.
