The CARDINAL SIN CATHOLIC BOOK AWARDS is conferred by the Asian Catholic Communicators, Inc. an organization of Catholic book publishers that was established by the late Jaime L. Cardinal Sin to honor book authors and publishers whose work promotes total human development, Gospel values and Filipino Culture, through the effective use of the latest communications technology in book publishing.
There are more than 40 categories into which the media fields are subdivided and selected by a panel of judges for each category representing the academe, the print and broadcast media, the music and cinema industries, and the religious community. With the latest addition of the Internet category, His Excellence Most Reverend Edward Joseph Adams, Apostolic Nuncio to the Philippines was the guest of honor and speaker. He spoke on this year’s CMMA theme “Promoting a Culture of Respect, Dialogue and Friendship in the Digital Generation,” based on the message of Pope Benedict XVI for World Communications Day on May 24.
