In 1936, Abiva Publishing House, Inc. was founded by Luis Abiva Sr. and Asuncion Abiva, a visionary couple whose passion for education extended from the classroom to the world of publishing. As dedicated teachers, they recognized how quality educational materials could profoundly impact students, inspiring their mission to create resources designed to inspire and educate.
After the sudden passing of Luis Abiva Sr., Asuncion Abiva took the helm, continuing the business with strength and determination. Her leadership ensured that the company flourished despite the challenges, laying a solid foundation for future generations. Their children, Nena Abiva Garcia, Felicito Q. Abiva (deceased), Cherry Abiva Casal (deceased), Luis Q. Abiva Jr., and the third generation of their family proudly carry the torch of their vision. Their legacy of enriching Filipino education and celebrating cultural heritage endures through time, inspiring future generations.
