Ating Alamin (transl. Let Us Know) was an agricultural and livelihood program produced by Gerry Geronimo Productions Incorporated and broadcast byMBS/PTV/NBN,ABC,IBC, andUNTV in the Philippines, and internationally viaThe Filipino Channel. Hosted by Gerry Geronimo, it premiered on October 5, 1980. The show concluded on July 10, 2016.
The program was hosted, produced, written and directed by Adolfo "Ka Gerry" Geronimo. It started as a radio program in April 1974 onDZFM, which aims to improve Filipino people's lives by sharing insights and innovations in agriculture, crops, fishery, livestock, and home industries.[1][2] He pioneered agricultural programming on television, and later became a vehicle for him to be appointed as one of thesectoral representatives for the peasants during the10th Congress of the Philippines as well as his participation in the1992 and1998 Senatorial elections.
It was later evolved as a television program which premiered on October 15, 1980, on MBS Channel 4,[3] and also traveled through different television stations through the years. The program was also aired internationally onABS-CBN Sports and Action provided byTFC from 2009 to 2020.[4]
The program, however, ended its run on Philippine television on July 10, 2016, after the program was suspended indefinitely on PTV Channel 4 by thePresidential Communications Operations Office under the leadership of then-PCOO SecretaryMartin Andanar; which he focused PTV to become a News and Public Affairs channel.[5] Despite this development, viewers can still catch up the program through itsYouTube channel for free.[6]
