Iselle Diño, Sikat Project Coordinator, shared that Sikat has provided Sto. Niño Integrated School last December with solar panels to improve their facilities, aligned with their mission to uplift Filipinos through renewable energy. She also highlights the importance of the partnership between Sikat and KCFI for the community in rural Tanay.

“Noong December 12 nandito rin po kami upang mag turnover ng solar integrated systems. Sana po hindi kayo magsawa na nandito kami palagi at na hindi natatapos sa turnover lang ng systems ang aming gawain,” Iselle said. “Ang proyektong ito ay magbibigay ng mas malawak at dagdag na kaalaman para sa ating mga guro na siya ring makakatulong sa pag angat ng antas ng edukasyon ng mga kabataan ng ating mga komunidad.”

Edric Calma, Knowledge Channel Foundation Vice President

In line with the provision of access, KCFI Vice President Edric Calma emphasized its long-standing commitment to gifting schools with resources that enhance Filipino learning outcomes. "Our goal is to provide quality, curriculum-based video resources and relevant teacher training programs to give you extra tools for more effective learning experiences," Edric stated.
