00:00In this day and age, reading is important for the development of knowledge and the minds of children.

00:05That's why a group launched an initiative to encourage young people to embrace reading.

00:12That's the Magbasa Tayo Movement.

00:15That's why, Dianne, let's find out how they were able to help children in their studies,

00:21what are their projects and programs,

00:24and how we can be a part of this wonderful initiative

00:28together with the Youth Educator and their founder, Kevin Conrad Tancionco.

00:35Good morning, Conrad.

00:37Hi, Kevin. Good morning.

00:38Kevin or Conrad?

00:39Kevin.

00:40Okay, but Kevin, what is the objective and specific goal of the Magbasa Tayo Movement?

00:45Actually, because I am a graduate of the Library and Information Science,

00:49and I am a registered librarian,

00:51we saw the problems and shortcomings of libraries in the Philippines.

00:56This is one of the major reasons why we wanted to build more libraries in our country

01:04because this is lacking and needs more libraries.

01:10Okay, so you're building libraries.

01:12Yes, ma'am.

01:13Okay.

01:14So how did this happen, Kevin?

01:15How did this movement start?

01:17And what was your inspiration for this?

01:20Okay, so in 2015, we were part of a company

01:24that was trying to train young servant leaders of the Philippines

01:28and we needed to build what we call the Starfish Project.

01:32So this is where it started.

01:34Out of 81 students, I was the only librarian.

01:36So I said, I think we should and we need to make changes

01:41through our libraries that we need to build in our country.

01:44So far, how many libraries have we built and where are they?

01:48So far, we have already helped.

01:50One of the biggest is the 42 Barangay Reading Centers in Atimon and Quezon

01:55with the help of the Provincial Library of Quezon.

01:58We also have one in Romblon, in Isabela, in Baguio, and many more places.

02:04And hopefully, this year, we will be able to build three more Barangay Reading Centers.

02:09Wow, that's really fun in different places.

02:12Yes, aside from building libraries,

02:16what else are you doing to help the children?

02:19Aside from this, because we are short of libraries,

02:24now we are building and adding their books to the bookshelves.

02:29After this, we started the Reading at Home Program.

02:33We are rotating books to our Grade 1 children,

02:37to our learners, along with our teachers.

02:40So some of the schools are from Magdibang, Romblon.

02:44There is also another school that has just arrived.

02:48So, our program is about books and reading.

02:51Okay, what is the story of the children that you helped and helped to build, Kevin?

02:55One of the best feelings is to see the children holding the books.

03:00The joy and excitement is different.

03:02Because there are places in the Philippines where there is no internet yet,

03:06and the printed books are the only thing they are happy about.

03:10When it comes to reading, aside from the textbooks that we have in the school.

03:15Kevin, where did you get the books that you are distributing,

03:19and do you have partners or organizations?

03:22Now, because I am a librarian,

03:25we have librarians from all over the Philippines,

03:29and I bring them to the books,

03:31the books that they are removing from their books,

03:34we collect and give them,

03:37and we are sure that the children will use it better.

03:41Okay, for those who want to donate, collaborate with you,

03:44or maybe they just want to have a library in their place,

03:47how can they contact your social media pages?

03:49Okay, currently, we have a Magbasa Tayo movement that you can find on Facebook,

03:54Kendalai Baryan, for my personal Facebook account,

03:58to show you what activities and how you can donate.

04:02Now, we are planning to have 60 children's books

04:06for our Reading at Home program in April in Romblon.

04:11Okay, maybe there are people watching who have books that they want to donate.

04:18Do you have an office?

04:20Currently, because we are just a small movement,

04:25our home is where the books are placed.

04:29So, just reach out to our Facebook page

04:32so that we can have a discussion on how you can send the books to us.

04:36Okay.

04:37There you go, Dianne.

04:38KRSP Tunay, this is a very good start for Kevin's advocacy.

04:45And I hope that more people will be encouraged to do this project,

04:50and more people will be able to help your children.

04:53Welcome, Dianne. Thank you very much for joining us.

04:56Thank you very much.
