GMA Network, through its digital and technology arm GMA New Media Inc. (NMI), has launched a new YouTube channel for children: Kubo House.
This new digital channel brings Filipino culture to life with vibrant 3D animation and catchy music, offering educational and engaging content for young viewers.
Kubo House integrates generative AI technology with digital storytelling to create a colorful online space where children can learn about the rich, musical heritage of the Philippines.
“I can speak from experience that parents are always looking for fun content that their kids can enjoy and hopefully learn from,” shares GMA NMI President and COO Dennis Augusto L. Caharian. “Especially for Pinoys raising children abroad, it’s important that Filipino traditions get passed on. They say that it takes a village to raise a child, and Kubo House would like to help out and be a part of that village.”
Produced by NMI Studios, Kubo House boasts a diverse library of content created by a team of 3D animators, writers, graphic designers, and video editors. This dedicated group collaborates to produce high-quality content that resonates with children, with plans to create even more material for the upcoming school year.
Kubo House offers a modern way for children to learn traditional Filipino nursery rhymes. Videos feature lyrics on screen to help kids expand their vocabulary and language skills as they sing along to songs like “Tong Tong Pakitong-Kitong,” “Si Pilemon, Si Filemon,” “Pen Pen de Sarapen,” and folk songs such as “Bahay Kubo,” “Magtanim Ay ‘Di Biro,” “Paru-Parong Bukid,” and more.
Additionally, Kubo House’s original animated series, “Hiwaga,” presents unique and magical fairy tales like “Little Star,” “Alon,” and “Hello Halo-Halo,” designed to captivate and inspire young imaginations.
Beyond showcasing Philippine culture, Kubo House also features bilingual content to teach children English and Filipino translations of various words and everyday phrases. This approach aims to enhance language skills while fostering a deeper appreciation of Filipino culture.
