What is Big Blue Hearts?
Big Blue Hearts is a project partnership between Globe Telecom, ABS-CBN, Mary’s Way Foundation, and ABS-CBN. it aims to support over 100 Grade 1 learners in 3 Santa Rosa public elementary schools through B.I.G. which stands for:
B – Basa Bilang resources
I – Instructional mentoring and coaching
G – Globe data allowance
With these resources, a child will be able to read in 6 months.*
*based on the 2019 Basa Bilang Pilot Study
Through this intervention, we are helping children continue learning amid this pandemic through effective video lessons like the Wikaharian series for Grade 1. Piloted in 2019 to Grade 1 classes in 18 public elementary schools in Santa Rosa, Laguna, Wikaharian was proven to be an effective tool for teaching children to read in Filipino with up to 30% improvement in the mean percentage scores of students from their pre-test and post test scores.*
*Based on the 2019 Basa Bilang Pilot Study, when paired with teacher training

“Bilang guro ito ang mga naitulong sa kin ng BASA BILANG: 1.Naka less sa preparation ko ng video in one subject. 2.Napagaan niya ang pagtuturo ko sa asignaturang Filipino. 3.Madali kong nakukuha ang atensiyon ng aking mga pupils. 4.Malaking tulong sa pagpapabasa ng aking mga pupils.” – Rose D. Centeno, Grade 1 Teacher, Balibago Elementary School
“Basa Bilang and Wikaharian Videos helped the teachers in teaching Filipino because it can enhance the traditional ways of teaching and help more learners engaged. It helps teachers save time in preparing visual materials in Filipino. It’s one of the better learning techniques nowadays because of movements and special effects, learners are more enjoyable rather than to read a text.” -Esperanza “Espie” M. Batitis, Grade 1 Teacher, SRES Central 1
“Marami po akong natutunan sa Wikaharian videos. Mas madali at mas naaintindihan ko po ang aralin na Filipino. Mas lumawak ang aking kaisipan.” -Chrisabella V. Buhay, Grade 1 Student, SRES Central 1
