Rex Education was recently recognized at the 21st Manuel L. Quezon Gawad Parangal and the 45th Catholic Mass Media Awards (CMMA).
The Quezon Gawad Parangal is held annually in October as part of the local government’s celebration of the city’s founding. The 2023 awards ceremony recognized individuals and institutions who were exemplary in the fields of social work, environment and sanitation, law and justice, business and entrepreneurship, and science and technology.
Rex Education was among the 15 individuals and institutions recognized at this year’s iteration of the prestigious event. The 21st Manuel L. Quezon Gawad Parangal took place on October 25 at the PETA Theater Center.
The selection panel of Quezon City department heads, previous award winners, and respected professionals from various sectors conferred the award to REX for its prominent dedication to educating the masses through literature. The local government also cited REX’s pioneering work in the educational publishing industry, particularly through Rex Book Store, Inc. (RBSI).
RBSI’s contributions to education publishing include learning materials encompassing early childhood education, basic education, high school, tertiary, law, and post-collegiate materials. RBSI takes pride in its extensive network of 24 branches located across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. This only further affirms REX’s mission of nurturing every child for lifelong learning. To be the choice learning companion of Filipino learners and to be recognized by the communities REX serves, are a joy and honor.
Four of REX’s published works were also recently recognized at the 45th CMMA. The CMMA is an annual ceremony that pays tribute to individuals and organizations that produce values-filled content through print, broadcast, and social media. The CMMA pre-announced winners virtually on October 27.

Ms. Krystal Tecson-Garalde, CEO of Dear Self Aesthetic and Wellness Center led the team in a solemn, mini-event – to open the brand’s 10th clinic. The DS’ management team, clinic personnel, and some brand ambassadors attended the ribbon-cutting event on the 3rd floor Armal Plaza Building, C. Raymundo, Pasig, dated November 07, 2023.
Ms. Vivien Tecson- Cadivida, DS’ COO officially welcomed all the attendees. “We’re so happy to have you here today and thank you for being part of our story. Today marks the beginning of our Next Chapter,” Tecson-Cadivida cheerfully said. She also added that change can be frightening at times, but is considered a natural part of life that we should always embrace. Mr. Kenneth Tecson, owner, brand CMO, and campaign/project head graced the event and delivered his heartfelt message to everyone. “Self-love is at the heart of this latest chapter, and we genuinely believe that each person is unique in their own way. At Dear Self, we aim to give you the confidence to appreciate the amazing person that you are and to embrace your beauty from the inside out,” Mr. Tecson remarked.
On the other hand, the faces of Dear Self Aesthetic and Wellness Center were present at the event. Boomboom Neri, Showtime Grace, and Showtime Amina were all happy to be part of the growing Dear Self Family. “Sobrang happy ko na part ako ng Dear Self, dahil I had another family to rely on. Sobrang tinutulungan nila ako dito, especially to build my personality, para mas maayos akongm akaharap sa mga tao. The best dito sa Dear Self, they know what they are doing, at seryoso sila sa ginagawa nila, thank you so much and more power!,” BoomBoom Neri of It’s Showtime said when asked about her message to the brand. Furthermore, everyone who joined the small celebration was invited to experience the Dear Self Pasig services firsthand while enjoying the celebratory banquet. A drip and facial party were prepared for everyone, plus the newest massage chair feature of the clinic from Gintell Phillipines. “With Dear Self’s newfound home, we promise to be true to our goal—making each one feel that we all deserve to be loved so we don’t need to feel that we are no one,” Ms. Tecson-Garalde ended the event.
Welcome to the Next Chapter Dear Self Aesthetic and Wellness Center has proven once again that strong business goals, anchored with the management’s heart toward its people and clients despite all shortcomings and obstacles, can bring continuous success – a silver lining! We will expect more clinics to open this last quarter of the year.

Hangga’t andito ang Dear Self, we can always expect the best quality of service for everyone,” Mr. Christian Tecson, DS’ CFO said in his inspiring message.
Coffee and brewing enthusiasts are in for a thrill as Henry & Sons plays host to the much-anticipated 2023 Philippines Comandante Cup. This event, to be held at The Giving Cafe in Mandaluyong this weekend, promises to be a celebration of precision, flavor, and camaraderie in the world of coffee.
Henry & Sons, renowned for their commitment to elevating the coffee experience in partnership with Comandante, bring their expertise and passion to this event, ensuring its success that coffee lovers won’t want to miss.
“The heart of the competition lies in its community-oriented approach. While the competition is fierce, the emphasis is on creating a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere. Participants from all walks of life are encouraged to join, regardless of their skill level or experience, and share the joys of brewing and tasting exceptional coffee,” shared Michael Harris Conlin, 2019 Philippine National Barista Champion and President and CEO of Henry & Sons.
One unique aspect that sets the Comandante Championship apart is its commitment to promoting healthy competition and the joy of participating. Rather than glorifying winning, the championship celebrates the craft of coffee brewing. It’s a reminder that coffee is not just a beverage; it’s a shared passion that brings people together.
The competition consists of three rounds. In each round, competitors will be assessed by four sensory judges. They must prepare and serve a single beverage for the judges within eight minutes, without giving a presentation. Competitors can only use the coffee beans and water provided by the organizers.
During the competition, competitors can make multiple beverages, but only the one served to the judges will be judged. Competitors will compete in groups of five, and judges will select the best beverage by pointing a finger. The competitor with the best coffee, as chosen by the sensory judges, advances to the next round. Alternatively, simplified Brewers Cup score sheets may be used for the semi-finals or finals.
In the first round, competitors must use a specified pour-over brewing method chosen by the organizers, ensuring all competitors use the same brewing device. In the semi-final, competitors are required to use a full-immersion brewing method via Aeropress. In the final round, competitors have the choice of using either pour-over or immersion methods.
This year’s Comandante Cup is shaping up to be an extraordinary global spectacle, boasting a record-breaking roster of 60 competitors. It’s not just the largest competition of its kind—it’s a vibrant mosaic of passionate coffee lovers.
From the hobbyist home brewers who craft each cup with personal flair to the seasoned professionals whose techniques are as precise as they are inventive, the range of talent is as diverse as it is impressive. Each participant brings a unique story and a shared love for coffee, converging in this grand event to push the boundaries of brewing excellence.
As the competitors gear up for the challenge, the air buzzes with anticipation and the scent of freshly ground coffee beans. This is where skill meets passion and luck, where every pour, press, and brew could lead to the next Philippine Comandante cup Champion.
The 2023 Philippine Comandante Cup is more than a competition; it’s the heart-pumping epicenter of love for coffee and camaraderie, a festival celebrating the rich tapestry of Philippine coffee culture that connects us all.
In my opinion, the 2023 Philippines Comandante Cup event will ignite the coffee lovers of their skill, passion and the art of brewing coffee beans and water provided by the organizers.

Entertainment-Lifestyle website LionhearTV recently commemorated its 15th anniversary in October and is now diligently gearing up for the 9th RAWR Awards. This annual extravaganza stands as a testament to LionhearTV’s unwavering commitment to recognizing and celebrating excellence in the dynamic showbiz industry.
The RAWR Awards has morphed into a dazzling spectacle, drawing together not only the robust support of 250 new media practitioners (bloggers) from all corners of the Philippines but also the enthusiastic backing of PR groups and fans ardently supporting their favorite nominees.
The inception of the RAWR Awards traces back to 2015, an era when the blogging community was burgeoning. However, it was evident that there was a conspicuous gap in acknowledging and honoring the voices of bloggers and their ardent readers. To fill this void, LionhearTV conceived the RAWR Awards.
Year after year, the RAWR Awards are presented through the LionhearTV.net platform, aptly christened after the mighty lion, symbolizing the strength and influence these awardees hold in the entertainment sphere. These accolades are dedicated to individuals who have left an indelible mark on the industry.
In the nascent stages, the awards were exclusively organized by LionhearTV, with victors chosen by the website’s loyal readers. Over time, the voting process extended to encompass more than 100 bloggers from various regions of the Philippines, each representing a diverse niche within the bustling blogging community. Despite the vicissitudes encountered along this journey, the unwavering commitment to this cause remains steadfast, driven by the belief that this represents the collective voice of the blogging community, a voice deserving of recognition and acclaim within the broader entertainment panorama.
The RAWR Awards are divided into four principal categories: Lion, Cub, Pride, and SILOG Awards. The Cub Awards encompass nine subcategories, encompassing distinctions such as Beshie ng Taon, Favorite Bida, Favorite Kontrabida, Breakthrough Artist, Favorite Newbie, Bet na Bet na Teleserye, Song of the Year, Movie of the Year, and Digital Series. The Lion Awards feature nine categories, venerating luminaries including the Actor of the Year, Actress of the Year, Pak na Pak na Comedian, Male News Personality of the Year, Female News Personality of the Year, Love Team of the Year, Favorite Performer of the Year, Favorite TV Host, and Favorite DJ. The Pride Awards, on the other hand, encapsulate four categories, paying homage to entities such as the Radio Station of the Year, TV Station of the Year, Favorite Group, and Fan Club of the Year. Lastly, the SILOG Awards boast an impressive array of 17 categories, celebrating digital influencers and content creators, spanning domains like Art, Content Creation, Cosplay, Couples, Digital Influence, Drag, Fashion/Beauty, Food/Travel, Gaming, Health/Fitness, Influencer Families, LGBTQIA, Parenting, Podcasts, Streaming, Short-Form Vlogging, and Long-Form Vlogging.
The RAWR Awards, with a cumulative count of 31 categories, in conjunction with the SILOG Awards, featuring 17 categories, furnish the Philippine entertainment industry with an illustrious platform for appreciation and commendation.
Fans play a pivotal role in determining the victors, holding 66.66% of the voting authority. This authority is parceled into two equitable segments: 33.33% from online votes via the official website and KTX and another 33.33% from online searches conducted within LionhearTV, Dailypedia, and PH Entertainment. The remaining 33.33% is contributed by the blogging community, PR entities, and brand partners.
The RAWR Awards transcend merely recognizing local talent; they also endeavor to forge stronger alliances with like-minded partners who share the same vision. These awards serve as an opportunity for LionhearTV.net to extend its heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has fervently backed the website since its inception.
The polls for voting your favored nominees in their respective categories are now live and accessible through LionhearTV’s RAWR Awards website. Voting will continue until December 4, 11:59 PM. Show your support, and let your voice be heard in celebrating the best of Philippine showbiz.
“This success gives us more confidence here in the Philippines to do even better and achieve greater heights sooner than later. We are very young, but you know what they say, the youngest is the most aggressive so better watch out for HONOR Philippines especially in 2024,” said HONOR Philippines Vice President Stephen Cheng.
Although the smartphone market subsequently fell in China, it is still seen that HONOR had an outstanding annual growth with 1.8%, 1.1% and –1% in IDC, Counterpoint and Canalys respectively – the most impressive performance among other brands. In terms of market share, HONOR is without a doubt the No. 1 smartphone brand, getting 19.3% from IDC, 18.3% from Counterpoint, and 18% from Canalys with the second seed in both reports at 16-17%.
This feat is led by HONOR taking over the foldable market having HONOR Magic V2 as the No. 1 choice among all foldable models in China, as authorized by IDC and Counterpoint.
HONOR Philippines is eager to replicate this success in no time. To check out the wide array of HONOR devices in the country, you can go to an Experience or Partner store near you or online via: Lazada (bit.ly/HONORPHLaz), Shopee (bit.ly/HONORPHShpe), and TikTok Shop (bit.ly/HONORPHTikTok).
