DepEd Undersecretary for Administration Alain Del Pascua, in an Aide Memoire dated Dec. 2, explained that in July, 2020, Paolo Bediones, through his company Ei2Tech, together with several media practitioners and some individuals from the private sector, offered a “proof of concept” that was free of charge for the Training of DepEd Teachers and Personnel in the Production of Curriculum-based Television Lessons.
To help the members of the television industry, Pascua said Ei2Tech contracted over 400 professionals and suppliers from various networks who were gravely affected by the pandemic to produce a specific number of episodes to execute the proof of concept which can now be seen on television. He noted that the arrangement was “output-based” or dependent on a specific number of episodes for all the contractors.
