Pinoy Culture

Hi Everyone, I would like to thank you all for continually supporting Pinoy Culture, it’s our 6th year now of being a community partner and we hope that you will continue to be there with us over the years. In order to better serve our community, Pinoy Culture is exploring changes in its platform in how we deliver our precious stories and rich content to you. One of Pinoy Culture’s action plans this year is to turn some of our favourite books into a personalized story board... and interactive gameplay that the child and parents can fully share. This innovative format will also have the ability to record snippets of audio and video recordings on to the images and on to stories of which the child can fully experience it as a game. Imagine a game where every time a child presses an image it’s the parents voice that reads or describes it in any preferred language, A transformative tool for those that are away from members of their family where a prerecorded story app can be shared instantly between a parent and a child. An example would be , ABC with Daddy or Daddy’s adventure Stories, where the Dad and his voice is part of the main story, making remote parents to continually be part of the child’s life. This is ideal for overseas workers or any parent s that are away from their child. We are still in the early stages of ideation but we have all the tools, developers, artist and passionate people to make this happen. I am making efforts to seek funding to support this idea from various investment firms. As part of our market study, we would like to conduct a short survey with 10 questions to get each of your feedback in order to appropriately develop this new application platform. As a gift from Pinoy Culture for those that responds to our short survey, I will be issuing you a 10% on-line discount coupon code on all your purchases made through Pinoy Culture. http://pinoyculture.flyingcart.com/ Please visit our survey link below; your feedback will help us make this effort a success. https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/XF7P36D Thank you
