Rex Education was honored at the 45th Catholic Mass Media Awards (CMMA) and the 21st Manuel L. Quezon Gawad Parangal.
Every year in October, the Quezon Gawad Parangal is a component of the local government’s celebration of the creation of the city. At the 2023 awards ceremony, people and organizations that demonstrated excellence in the domains of social service, business and entrepreneurship, law and justice, environment and sanitation, and science and technology were honored.
Rex Education was one of the fifteen people and organizations honored at the esteemed event this year. On October 25, the 21st Manuel L. Quezon Gawad Parangal was held at the PETA Theater Center.
The award was given to REX for its noteworthy commitment to teaching the public via literature by a selection panel consisting of department heads from Quezon City, past recipients of the prize, and well-respected individuals from other industries. Additionally, the local government highlighted REX’s innovative contributions to the educational publishing sector, especially through Rex Book Store, Inc. (RBSI).
Learning materials covering early childhood education, basic education, high school, tertiary education, law, and post-collegiate materials are among RBSI’s contributions to education publication. RBSI is proud of its wide network, which consists of 24 branches spread throughout Mindanao, Visayas, and Luzon. This just serves to reinforce REX’s goal of preparing each child for lifelong learning. It is a pleasure and an honor to be the preferred study partner for Filipino students and to be acknowledged by the communities REX serves.
At the 45th CMMA, REX’s published works received recognition as well. Every year, the CMMA honors people and groups that create content for print, radio, and social media that upholds moral principles. Virtual winners were pre-announced by the CMMA on October 27.
With the magazine “Backpack,” REX and Catechetical Media Network (CMN-Asia, Inc.) won Best Children’s Magazine; in the Best Youth Magazine category, REX and CMN-Asia’s “Crossroads” took first place.
Allan Alejo Jr.’s “Tangkilikin ang Sariling Atin (Marketing Our Local Products),” which was released by REX and CMN-Asia, won the Best Editorial Cartoon award. Felix C. Alcantara’s “Si Nelia, Si Marta, at Si Maria,” which was released by REX and CMN-Asia, won an award for Best Comic Story.
These citations increase REX’s motivation and commitment to creating high-quality educational resources that can encourage morality and spirituality in Filipino youth. REX consistently aims to support the whole growth of the learner—one who is engaged, safe, healthy, supported, challenged, and values-driven.
With these honors, REX is still motivated to keep becoming better and aiming for greatness—for the sake of the bata, mamamayan, and bayan.
