The ECCD Award was given to cities, municipalities and provinces that “developed innovative and effective supplementary programs on early development, health and nutrition, institutionalized or locally legislated support for ECCD, and fostered interagency and multi-stakeholder involvement in ECCD implementation.”

The awarding bodies recognized Antipolo City and San Mateo’s efforts in supporting basic education services to children.

Their programs on the utilization and efficiency of child development workers and daycare workers in providing services, especially amid the Covid-19 pandemic, were highlighted.

"Nais ko ipamana sa ating mga kababayan bago matapos ang aking panunungkulan ay ang kaalaman na kahit saan man sila mapadpad sa 'Pinas, kilala ang ating Lungsod dahil sa husay. 'Yung tipong synonymous na sa salitang "husay" ang "Antipolo City" (Before my term as mayor ends, I want to impart to our citizens that our city is known for its outstanding achievements, wherever they may go in our country; where the word "excellent" can be synonymous to "Antipolo City")," said Antipolo City Mayor Andrea "Andeng" Ynares in a social media post.
