MANILA, Philippines - For stepping into the unique idea of highlighting how corporations and artists continue to share the vision of enriching the public with the arts, Muse Magazine was awarded a Special Citation during the recent 30th Catholic Mass Media Awards (CMMA) at Teatro ng GSIS in Pasay City.

Published by Mediawise Communications Inc., Muse is a quarterly magazine on the arts, culture and travel. The CMMA described it as a “daring publication” committed to promoting corporate social responsibility that always takes into account the interests of its community readers.

The magazine was also recognized by the International Association of Business Communicators during the Gold Quill Awards at Hyatt Hotel. Gold Quill Merit Awards each went to Muse Magazine (Communication Creative Division-Publication Design Category) and Pursuits (Communication Skills Division-Publications Category).

Pursuits, a glossy magazine celebrating Insular Life’s 97 years as a significant part of Filipinos’ lives, was also designed by Mediawise Communications Inc.

Present during both awarding ceremonies were CEO and publisher of Muse Ramoncito O. Cruz, arts and events manager Noel Catacutan, and Fr. José S. Arcilla, SJ, senior writer.

Muse Magazine’s latest issue features a cover story by Arcilla on the Atenean as an artist. The issue also has features on Far Eastern University as a living museum; Douglas Nierras and the breathtaking new field of aerial dancing; and the sights that make Cambodia one of the most interesting places to visit.

Muse Magazine is available in all leading bookstores.
