I was one of the Video editors, it was really very rewarding experience for me to have been a part of this children program. And Mr. Villanueva was generous enough to share his life with us. He will always be remembered. I can't imagine back when I was still a little boy that I will be part of Batibot. I used to watch it in a sari sari store near our house back then, and it's been a part of my childhood. I'm still proud that Batibot shaped me from early childhood to adulthood years .

I hope that brings joy and happiness to all batibot lovers and batibot kids of my generation! =) Sir Stuart, thank you very much for writing this. I had the privilege of getting to know deeper the show that I really loved and grew up watching. This article of yours made me feel like I'm now more worthy to say that I am a batibot kid because I now knew a bit of its history on and off cam. I became a preschool teacher and I find the format of the show & the scripts very effective. I intend to somehow adapt them and use it as I teach my kids. Thank you very much!

Educated by a turtle who eats kangkong and a monkey with a husky voice. So sad… the school that my generation knew was long gone. But I am very lucky. Before this school close the gate of knowledge to us I became a part of it. Working in Saint John St. Cubao, Q.C. is a chance of a lifetime that I will never forget. Being hired as a production assistant then later tasked as a contributor writer by a Rene O. Villanueva is a great privilege. Those are the days that I will never forget. Living with Rene at the back of Batibot office and inhaling his life, his passion, his calling, his madness and above all having him as a friend. I will never forget the incident when he shouted at me one time. I provided a sketch of filipiniana costumes for a taping instead of the actual costumes. River flows in my eyes. Shivering, Ma'am Feny helped me to look for the actual pictures in the library. Now I realize the value of the incident. Rene wanted me to be a real writer not just a sketch. I will never forget him saying “Magsulat ka hindi dahil sa pera, magsulat ka dahil gusto mo.” My first episode in Batibot is entitled “Bakit Kumakahol ang aso?”. I was voiceless then, nobody understands me. Like a dog, I have a message for you… just read between the lines. I am one of the Batibot babies.
