6th DokyuBata Video Documentary Contest
I. BACKGROUND
The State recognizes the vital role of the youth in nation-building and shall promote and protect their physical, moral, spiritual, intellectual, and social well-being by enhancing their over-all development, taking into account sectoral needs and conditions in the development of educational, cultural, recreational pol1icies and programs addressed to them. Likewise, the State recognizes the importance and impact of broadcast media, particularly television programs on the value formation and intellectual development of children and must take steps to support and protect children's interests by providing television programs that reflect their needs, concerns, and interests, without exploiting them. The State further recognizes broadcasting as a form of mass communication guaranteed by the Constitution, the exercise of which is impressed with public interest, and which imposes upon the broadcast industry the social responsibility of ensuring that its activities serve the interest and welfare of the Filipino people.1
The National Council. for Children's Television (NCCT) is mandated to formulate policies on children's media programs and recommend plans and priorities for the government towards the promotion, development, production, and broadcasting of child-friendly programs for children.
In fact the 1987 Philippine Constitution mandates the State to defend the right of children to assistance, including proper care and nutrition and special protection from all forms of neglect, abuse cruelty exploitation, and other conditions prejudicial to their development.2
In a study conducted by the NCCT in 2015 84% of Filipino children consider television as their primary source of information with telenovela as their most-watched television program. Children in areas with access only to free-to-air television (transmitted over the air without charge), do not have enough choices of what programs to watch. These young minds are greatly influenced by television, but the choice is limited to only what the network's programming offers.
Thus, NCCT created DokyuBata in order to produce quality television programs that will truly reflect the needs, concerns, and interest of Filipino children.
A. DokyuBata: lsang Pagdiriwang ng Dokumentaryong Pantelebisyon Para sa Batang Pilipino"
DokyuBata is an annual video documentary contest that started in 2017. Generally, video documentary is cost efficient as even students can create their own without having to go through the stringent process of production in contrast to what is done in mainstream media, films, clips, and other commercialized videos. The NCCT believes that through this kind of child-friendly competition, children will be able to create a platform where they can actively and creatively
express their thoughts.
B. Specifically, DokyuBata aims to:
1. provide an avenue where aspiring young television documentarists can showcase and share their talents;
2. raise stakeholders' awareness of the value and necessity of child-friendly television content and highlight the feasibility of producing quality programs;
3. encourage children, youth, and professionals to promulgate meaningful television content by exposing them to quality documentaries;
4. promote child participation on pressing issues that directly affect their total development;
5. encourage the participation of the citizenry in creating child-friendly quality programs; and
6. capture stories that advocate gender equality and sensitivity.
With the increasing number of technological innovations, the young generation can now be recognized as prosumers because they consume and produce content simultaneously. Through DokyuBata, children (not less than 12 years old) and adults now have the chance to produce child-friendly media content and become the State's partner in building a well-informed and media-literate nation.
C. For this year, the NCCT prepared six (6) major DokyuBata activities, namely:
1. DokyuBata TV - a television program showcasing selected DokyuBata entries. All winners will get a chance to be featured in DokyuBata TV.
Target: Viewing of the program through NCCT's Broadcast Television Network partner/s will be encouraged among the students and teachers.
2. DokyuBata Masterclass - a 3-day workshop held every July to train aspiring documentary filmmakers and help them create excellent documentaries.
Target: Each school offering a Special Program for the Arts (SPA) must be represented by a student, who may be the writer or director, and a teacher who will serve as his/her supervisor and coach. No registration fee in any amount shall be collected. E-certificates will be provided to those who completed the requirements of DokyuBata Masterclass, and will eventually join the DokyuBata Video Documentary Contest.
3. DokyuBata Classroom - a workshop and talkback session on Gender Fair Language and Images (GFLI) and other techniques in creating documentaries.
Target: Participation of students and teachers is highly encouraged. E-certificates will be provided to participants who completed the requirements.

5. DokyuBata Virtual Screening - a 3-day online screening of each division's Top 10 finalists via the NCCT Facebook page and NCCT YouTube channel.

II. DOKYUBATA 2022 THEME: "Sa Mundo ng Social Media, Ligtas Ka Ba?"
For adults, social media has been a way of life, while kids are caught between reality and the digital world. DokyuBata 2022 seeks not only to promote awareness but more so to guide the public on how one can safeguard the children's welfare through child-friendly programs.
According to the Digital 2021: Philippines report released by the Datareportal in January 20213, there were 89 million social media users in the country. Comparatively, between year's 2020 and 2021, there was an increase of 22%, which makes 80% of the total population of the Philippines social media users. Data showed that the Philippines is an active social media user in this digital age. The internet transformed new economies and created a hub of information accessible to all.
Social media is quickly shaping the world, but whether the Philippines is on the safe side or not remains to be the underlying question in this digital era. Hence, this is what the NCCT through the DokyuBata 2022 theme, "Sa Mundo ng Social Media, Ligtas Ka Ba?", seeks to determine. Doubtless, issues on cyber wellness, cyberbullying, digital citizenship and children's rights are prevalent. The constant development in social media may either weaken or strengthen the vulnerability of children which, worse, may lead to abuse and exploitation. On an affirmative note, the present digital space will surely develop the children's skills and talents which may be of great contribution in building a resilient nation.
In order to ensure the achievement of (1) Good Health and Well-Being; and (2) Quality Education - which are considered as the two sustainable development goals - the 2022 DokyuBata theme shall focus on four (4) major areas namely: (a) Cyber Wellness, (b) Cyberbullying, (c) Digital Citizenship, and (d) Children's Rights.
All divisions (Children, Young Adult, and Adult) can participate and choose one issue from the identified subtopics. The subtopics listed below will serve as a guide for documentarists:
A. Cyber Wellness
• Understanding the cyber world and the impact on children as digital citizens
• Promotion of positive well-being amongst internet users, especially children
• Cyber wellness initiatives in the family and community
• Raising awareness on Gender Fair Language and Images to break stereotypes and create a safe online space for all genders
B. Cyberbullying
• Relevant laws and practical help to counter cyberbullying
• Effects of cyberbullying on the social development of children
• Safeguarding children from cyberbullying
• Harmful environment in online gaming platforms
C. Digital Citizenship
• Internet access as a basic human right
• Accessibility of truthful and legitimate information
• Career paths and industries created by social media
• Impact on human interaction and communication
• Effect on literacy and language of children
• Cultural impact of digital shift to children
• Virtual peer pressure in terms of producing content, self-image, and selfesteem
• Digital law, rights and responsibilities
• Safety measures of distance learning
D. Children's Rights
• The role of social media in promoting children's rights.
• Creating a safe online environment for children.
• Child protection and children's rights in the digital world.
• Exposure of minors to social media
Understanding social media as a tool for information, communication, and technology is crucial in safeguarding the welfare of Filipino children. DokyuBata, in its 6th year, continues to be an avenue for children and Filipino families to participate in the realization of our country toward social awareness and coping with social change. NCCT's DokyuBata call to action is to empower Filipino children through child-friendly documentaries.
