The Polytechnic University of the Philippines’s online multimedia channel PUP CreaTV celebrated its 4th anniversary as it strived its way to “#4fection.”
Founded in 2013, PUP CreaTV is the first university-based online channel in the Philippines. It aims to maintain its legacy as “Tanglaw ng Bayan,” not only to the students of the state university but also to a wider audience.
One of the founders, Communication Management Office director, Professor Kriztine Viray said the online channel started as a simple idea.
“Hindi namin alam kung paano uumpisahan, [dahil] wala kaming gamit. (At first we didn’t know how to make the idea come to life because we had no equipment),” Viray said in recollection.
Through the years, PUP CreaTV continues to manifest the success of a simple idea.
In keeping its promise to remain entertaining, critical and inspirational, the online channel re-launched its leading show.
The Observer Flash is a news program that provides deeper contexts to news and current events happening in the university and the whole country. V-PUPian is a values-formation program that talks about the values every PUP student embodies during their stay in the university. State U, on the other hand, is a documentary program that features true and inspiring stories of students, faculty members and employees of the community to encourage and motivate the viewers.
A magazine program, Pinakausap-Usapan sa Pamantasan talks about trending topics. Lastly, LOL: Learn On-Line is an educational program that serves as an alternative learning resource to students who want to learn more in various subjects such as Mathematics, Science, English and Filipino.
