As a student of BA Broadcast Communications in UP Diliman, I am assigned to report about ANIMATION, particularly the state of animation in the Philippines. Unfortunately, the report is due next week, 14 July; it was assigned only yesterday, 07 July.

If anyone could at the very least give me the contact number/s of the Animation Council of the Philippines, as well as all its member studios and board heads, I will be forever grateful.

Of course, it would be an even greater help if I can get information on the following:

• Animation
• Origin of Term 'Animation'
• How animation is made possible
• Kinds of animation
• History of animation (general history)
• Walt Disney Animation - TV (history, studios, shows, channel/s and other affiliates)
• Warner Brothers Animation - TV (history, studios, shows, channel/s and other affiliates)
• Hanna-Barbera Productions (history, studios, shows, channel/s and other affiliates)
• De Patie-Freleng Productions - TV (history, studios, shows and other affiliates)*
• Bob Clampett's TV animation (history, studios, shows and other affiliates)*
• Filmation Studios (history, studios, shows and other affiliates)*
• Ang Panday animated series in the Philippines*
• Cartoon Network (history, shows, etc.)
• and, last but not the least, our favourite ... Japanese animation (EVERYTHING in it)!

(those in asterisks are rare, hard-to-find information)

... And henceforth you see why I have been lurking as of late.

Please help! I will be available for contact from 8 pm onwards during today (Tuesday) and Friday, and 4 pm onwards for the rest of the week. You may contact me at 8967477, (telefax) 8971849, 0917-8163296, and my email address (harukachan@born2dance.ph).

Thank you very much and may God(dess) bless you all!

Sincerely,
Jocelyn B (ligayaharuka)
