Overview

The shortage of public early childhood care and development institutions in the Philippines challenged GMA News and Public Affairs to produce a definitive pre-school education program with the objective of shaping a whole new generation's viewpoint.

The United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization or (UNESCO) Education for All by 2015 report states that pre-primary education in the Philippines is available only to 41% of the total population, as most pre-schools are privately owned and concentrated in highly urbanized areas.

Happy Land's goal is to inspire young viewers to discover happiness despite the bad things in life.

Combining animation, digital technology, and live-action photography, Happy Land aims to bring Filipino children to a new level of TV viewing. Aside from the narrative, the show will also teach basic pre-school subjects like Language and the Alphabet, Math, Science, and General Knowledge through independent segments.[2]
