Ating Alamin (lit. Let Us Know) was an agricultural and livelihood program produced by Gerry Geronimo Productions Incorporated, and was aired in four television stations (MBS/PTV/NBN 4, ABC 5, IBC 13, and UNTV 37).
History
The program was hosted, produced, written and directed by Adolfo "Ka Gerry" Geronimo. Started as a radio program in 1974, aiming for improving the lives of the Filipino people through sharing some insights and innovations in agriculture, crops, fishery livestock and home industries.[1] Geronimo pioneered the agricultural programming on television, and later became a vehicle to him to be appointed as one of the sectoral representatives for the peasants during the 10th Congress of the Philippines as well as his participation in 1992 and 1998 Senatorial elections.
It was later evolved as a television program which premiered on October 5, 1980 on MBS Channel 4,[2] and traveled in different television stations through the years. The program is also currently aired internationally on ABS-CBN Sports and Action provided by TFC since 2009.[3]
The program, however, ended its run on Philippine television on July 10, 2016 after the program was suspended indefinitely its airing on PTV Channel 4 by the Presidential Communications Operations Office.[4] Despite this development, viewers can still catch up the program through its YouTube channel for free[5] and through TFC for international broadcasts.
