Overview edit

A weekly 30-minute educational show geared for Filipino preschool children ages three to six years old. It aims to develop the social skills and language development of children through entertaining and enriching methods that are curriculum-based, age appropriate and culturally enriching.

The show featured puppets, Bi and Bo, Tsing and Gong in a magical learning place called Bibbolandia where they will meet new friends, learn new things and develop new skills. They are joined by the friendly Ate Anne (Roxanne Barcelo) who will help them solve simple problems and take them to new worlds of learning and discovery through her fascinating songs and stories.

Combining puppetry, songs, animation, storytelling and live action, the show promotes the proper use of Filipino language. It will also highlight constructive interpersonal skills like sharing, helping, taking turns, making friends, confidence, honesty, respect for diversity, sportsmanship and other social skills.[3]
