"Gapu ta adda kami iti igid kalsada, naariwawa ti aglawlaw isu nga inpanmi ti recording studiomi iti banyo tapno nalawlawag ken maymayat ti timek ken uni dagiti video a maaramid (Because we are located beside a road and the surrounding is noisy we moved our recording studio in the bathroom so that we can produce videos that are clearer and have quality sounds.)," Ballena wrote on Facebook.

She added that instructional videos they made is one way the teachers used to show and explain to the kids about their modules.
