About Quiz Bee
Founders
The Beehive
To institutionalize the Quiz Bee projects, the organizers, Rasty and Gay Tayag, together with eminent people in the field of education, established the QUIZ BEE FOUNDATION in 1983 with no less than the late General Carlos P. Romulo as the Founding Chairman and Rasty M. Tayag as President. Besides the organizers, the Founding Trustees composed: then University of the Philippines President Edgardo Angara, Dr. Helena Benitez, Dr. Estefania Aldaba - Lim, Atty. Efrenilo Cayanga and then Metro Manila Governor Mel Mathay.
With the passing of Carlos P. Romulo in 1990, Rasty Tayag assumed the position of Chairman of the Foundation and holds this position to this date.
The Honeycomb
Since its first - ever national competition in 1977, the Quiz Bee has consistently organized a yearly event to foster its very objectives among the country's public and private students and their teacher- coaches/ mentors.
To finance this endeavor, the Quiz Bee Foundation solicits sponsorship from private companies, as well as the support from various government and media institutions.
The Office of the President, Department of Education, Commission of Higher Education and the Department of Interior and Local Government are particularly helpful in promoting the Quiz Bee by making it part of their education enhancement program.
