The pilot test run of the Division-initiated Radio Based Instruction (RBI) intends to explore its
effectiveness and efficiency as a medium of delivering quality instruction to public schools and their
learners in the Schools Division of Bacolod City. To ensure compliance to health standards in this time of
Covid19 pandemic, RBI, as the most cost effective remote learning modality, needs to be tested to

Page of DepEd Bacolod City, so parents who are working but need to facilitate their children’s learning
could go back to the lesson by logging on the FB pages anytime at their convenience, accessing the saved
video, and assist their children in the accomplishment of the worksheets.
