'''''Ating Alamin''''' ({{translation|Let Us Know}}) was an agricultural and livelihood program produced by Gerry Geronimo Productions Incorporated and broadcast by MBS/PTV/NBN, ABC, IBC, and UNTV in the Philippines, and internationally via The Filipino Channel. Hosted by Gerry Geronimo, it premiered on October 5, 1980. The show concluded on July 10, 2016.
==History== The program was hosted, produced, written and directed by Adolfo "Ka Gerry" Geronimo. It started as a radio program in April 1974 on DZFM, which aims to improve Filipino people's lives by sharing insights and innovations in agriculture, crops, fishery, livestock, and home industries.<ref name="ggpi">{{cite web|url=http://www.ggpi.com.ph/v2/syspage.asp?title=home|publisher=ggpi.com.ph|title=Gerry Geronimo Productions Inc.|accessdate=2017-02-18}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Hog Raising Technology (Salin Kaalaman Libro sa Video Series) Part 1 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYBemJTn6Vo&t=311s&ab_channel=AtingAlaminTV |website=YouTube |publisher=AtingAlaminTV (Gerry Geronimo Productions Inc.) |access-date=24 March 2023 |date=23 March 2023 |language=Filipino}}</ref> He pioneered agricultural programming on television, and later became a vehicle for him to be appointed as one of the sectoral representatives for the peasants during the 10th Congress of the Philippines as well as his participation in the 1992 and 1998 Senatorial elections.
It was later evolved as a television program which premiered on October 15, 1980, on MBS Channel 4,<ref name="Philstar">{{cite web|url=https://www.philstar.com/business/agriculture/2008/02/24/46483/pioneer-broadcaster-puts-practice-what-he-preaches|publisher=Philstar.com|title=Pioneer broadcaster puts into practice what he preaches|accessdate=2023-04-03}}</ref> and also traveled through different television stations through the years.

The program, however, ended its run on Philippine television on July 10, 2016, after the program was suspended indefinitely on PTV Channel 4 by the Presidential Communications Operations Office under the leadership of then-PCOO Secretary Martin Andanar; which he focused PTV to become a News and Public Affairs channel.<ref>[https://www.facebook.com/atingalaminofficial/posts/1160640157321808?match=YXRpbmcgYWxhbWluLHB0diw0 Ating Alamin's statement after the suspension]</ref> Despite this development, viewers can still catch up the program through its YouTube channel for free.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4L2MYAtb6022dwgZZDgwQQ Ating Alamin YouTube Channel]</ref>
