Contents

The National Quiz Bee was organized by the Quiz Bee Foundation. The program received support from the private sector, which mostly provided for the prizes and TV coverage. The National Quiz Bee was also endorsed and assisted by various agencies of the Philippine government, including the Department of Education (DepEd), Commission on Higher Education (CHED), Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG), the Senate of the Philippines, and the Office of the President.

History

[5] [6]

Since 1977, the Quiz Bee has been an annual event. In this year, Rasty Tayag, the developer, registered the term "quiz bee" as a copyright and trademark with the Philippine Patent Office.

For this competition, the category of Philippine history and culture was expanded to include ASEAN history and culture.

In 1993, in consonance with the Philippines 2000 program of President Fidel V. Ramos, the competition now included high school and college students, and the name was changed to the National Super Quiz Bee.
