Philippine TV Documentaries for Education and Research Networks
Philippine TV documentaries are a treasure trove of educational contents. They form part of Philippine digital heritage. A good part of these materials are about distant locales and distinct practices and experiences that deserve wider audience and long-term preservation.
Such documentaries may not, however, be readily accessible online. Nor are they catalogued in a way that invite wider utilitization. Educational institutions need access to such materials through a network with high-bandwidth.
