TVI Resource Development Philippines Inc. (TVIRD) has distributed 42 smart televisions to six public high schools in Bayog, expanding its education support from infrastructure to digital learning tools.
The initiative, implemented under the company’s Social Development and Management Program (SDMP), is aimed at enhancing classroom instruction by integrating multimedia and interactive content into daily lessons.
The turnover marks a shift in TVIRD’s community investments, moving beyond the construction of school facilities and provision of basic equipment toward technology-driven learning solutions. The company has previously supported the building of classrooms and distribution of instructional materials in its host communities.
Educators in recipient schools said the smart TVs will allow teachers to supplement traditional teaching methods with videos, presentations, and other digital resources, improving student engagement and comprehension—particularly for complex subjects.
Ryan Madamba, head of Supon National High School, described the devices as a “missing link” in classroom instruction, noting that they enable more efficient lesson delivery and reduce reliance on manually prepared visual aids.
School officials added that access to digital tools remains limited in many parts of Bayog, making the initiative critical in bridging learning gaps and improving access to educational materials. The integration of multimedia is also expected to foster critical thinking and adaptability among students in an increasingly technology-driven environment.
TVIRD said the program aligns with national education priorities and local development plans, supporting efforts to strengthen digital literacy at the basic education level while improving overall teaching conditions.
The Bayog municipality hosts TVIRD’s Balabag Gold-Silver Project, where the company has anchored its long-term community development initiatives, including education, infrastructure, and livelihood programs.
