What's your AQ? 

Environmental advocate Gregg Yan and lifestyle television host Kelly Misa-Fernandez,  with
Patricia Padilla, SkyCable Sales and Marketing Manager held the fun and educational session, and with kids activities at the Zoo Coffee of Ayala Vertis North last Saturday, February 9, 2019.

Gregg Yan,  Kelly Misa-Fernandez and Patricia Padilla, SkyCable Sales and Marketing Manager 

The event was a fun morning filled with kids activities, interesting animal facts, and discussions focused on how children can become good caretakers of the planet.

Have you ever worried that there’s so much stuff that’s unfit for kids to watch on tv these days? Parents and guardians need not to fret because ZooMoo provides a safe space for your little ones.

Made especially for kids with developing minds, the channel aims to help parents provide more kid-friendly entertainment for their preschoolers and make kids learn more about animals and nature.

What is ZooMoo?

ZooMoo believes that fun and learning go well together. This English-language based media channel nourishes children’s Animal Quotient (AQ) through its library of shows that capture their attention and awaken their imagination. ZooMoo provides deeper information about animals, their habitats, behaviour, and characteristics in a simplified yet visual way that are highly appealing to kids.

The channel comprises 1,500 self-contained shows combining spectacular wildlife footage with a range of puppetry, animations, and narrative techniques to create a unique viewing and learning experience for little viewers. ZooMoo’s programming lineup follow five themes: explore time, create time, play time, puzzle time and quiet time. The channel also carries a strong message of conservation to help kids become more compassionate towards the creatures we share the planet with.

Parental Control

With ZooMoo, parents are encouraged to share their child’s viewing experience which can be more interactive through the revolutionary ZooMoo App. Available to download on Google Play and AppStore, this innovative technology serves as a second screen where parents can allow their children to participate in the immersive world of ZooMoo shows on a tablet or smartphones even away from the home television. Children and parents engage in a world of games, music, puzzles and activities.

The ZooMoo app’s Parent Page offers personalized support for things parents can do with their children to help their learning.

With the advent of this new form of programming, ZooMoo helps kids to grow up with a better grasp of the animal world, making them good stewards of this planet.

It’s About Animals All the Time

One of the defining characteristics of ZooMoo programming is that it aims to improve a child’s AQ providing a deeper, more meaningful understanding of different animals and species including their natural habitat, diet, unique traits, and other interesting trivia.

ZooMoo recently hosted a panel discussion for parents and guardians on the importance of teaching their kids about animals and nature at an early age. The session discussed how parents can help children develop better AQ through different activities they can do at home, and how ZooMoo provides assistance as their kids learn.

ZooMoo’s program line up is packaged in an easy to understand format that is fun for both parents and kids. SKYcable subscribers can choose to add ZooMoo (channel 120) to their channel line-up for only P20 per month via SKYcable Select.

EVEN IN FICTION, PRINCE HARRY’S FIANCÉ REMAINS VOCAL AGAINST STATUS QUO

Tweet

Meghan Markle’s character in Blue Ant Entertainment’s TV show Suits stands her ground for gender equality

All eyes are on Prince Harry and American actress Meghan Markle as they prepare to tie the knot on May 19. The Big Day will be another sensation in the history of British royal weddings not only because the bride-to-be is a commoner or because the couple is having lemon elderflower instead of the customary fruitcake. Rather, Markle says she is delivering a speech at the reception—a privilege often reserved to the most important men of the event: the groom, the father of the bride, and the best man.

A staunch advocate of gender equality, Markle has never been shy about her views despite knowing that she is marrying into British Royalty, which isn’t allowed to speak publicly about politics. Royal watchers may find her defiance of protocol shocking, yet fans of the actress aren’t strangers to her strong personality and feminism in her fictional role as Rachel Zane in television legal drama Suits.

Here are just a few times Markle as Rachel Zane has stood up for herself in a sea of ambitious and powerful men:

Not Daddy’s Little Girl

The daughter of a skilled lawyer and law firm name partner, Robert Zane, Rachel would rather support herself financially through hard work than take advantage of her father’s wealth.

Too Smart for a Paralegal

Rachel may be a paralegal for almost six years, but she is not afraid to show that she’s a lot better than most associates in the firm. Just having her own office is proof that her abilities are recognized by the bosses.

No Easy Target

There’s no excuse for men to flirt with a woman they fancy in a professional setting. Rachel makes sure she sends the message clearly like when she called out Mike Ross (Patrick J. Adams) during his orientation for hitting on her and ogling the whole time. She even keeps a drawer of staplers to keep tabs on how many men have flirted with her at work.

Femme Fatale

If she does want to reciprocate a man’s interests, Rachel can be very bold and might even make the first move.

Curious about Meghan Markle’s stint on television? Suits airs starting 17 May 2018, 7:55 PM on Blue Ant Entertainment. Blue Ant Entertainment is available on SKYcable channels 53 (SD) and 196 (HD), SKYdirect channel 35, Destiny Cable channel 53, and Cablelink channels 37 (SD) and 313 (HD).
