St Mathew Publishing, Inc.

St. Matthew's Publishing Corporation (STMPC) is wholly dedicated to the pursuit of excellence. Its commitment: to produce quality educational books and instructional materials for early learners. With this in mind STMPC has, under its roof, academicians who are distinguished and respected in the field of Early Childhood Education. With such highly accomplished and well-experienced educators on its side, joined by young blood who strives to innovate and offer fresh perspectives on childhood education, STMPC is sure to meet its goal of creating the best books and instructional materials on the market. STMPC was founded in 1990 by the late Vicente C. Catabijan, Jr., who subsequently passed ownership to his eldest son, Raymund S. Catabijan, and to the latter's wife, Isabel Diaz-Catabijan, in 1994. Their vision was to produce books that will contribute to the relevant fundamental education of preschoolers. STMPC's first publication was a set of books covering all subjects in the Kindergarten level. Each book came with a comprehensive teacher's guide—an innovative feature at the time—that helped provide a different kind of learning experience, one that was on par with the most avant-garde classrooms around the world. These books were quickly adopted by schools in the whole Division of Manila. With this first success STMPC began to publish books in all preschool levels and in all subject areas, and after just a short span of time, STMPC's valued clients now include schools from almost all Department of Education Divisions of the National Capital Region as well as from major provinces and cities nationwide. STMPC's books are used by various learning institutions all over the country, from daycare centers to outstanding big schools, and also by the Center for Excellence (CENTEX), a center for intellectually gifted children—further testament to the quality of the books and to their groundbreaking features. STMPC's books are marked by their freshness, comprehensiveness, progressive ideas, and sheer perfectionism. STMPC is one of the fastest-growing companies in the field of educational publishing, and to better serve its burgeoning clientele, the company was incorporated last April 21, 2009 (from SMT to STMPC). Under the guidance of its president, Raymund S. Catabijan, STMPC is poised to reach greater heights in the coming years
