The Philippine Quality Award (PQA) is an integrated approach for performance management that sets the standard of excellence to help Philippine organizations achieve world-class performance. It provides an internationally comparable framework and criteria, patterned after the Baldrige Performance Excellence Program of the US, for assessing organizational performance.

Established through Executive Order No. 448, issued by President Fidel V. Ramos on October 3, 1997, the award is given to organizations in the private and public sectors which excel in quality and productivity. It was institutionalized through the signing of Republic Act No. 9013 on February 28, 2001, also known as the Philippine Quality Award Act.

For confirmation and inquiries kindly contact the PQA Secretariat at telephone number (02) 890-4889 or at email address nicolorenzoflaminiano@dti.gov.ph.
