- Best Learning Resource in Science
- Best Learning Resource in English
- Best Learning Resource in Araling Panlipunan

Job Zape, Chief of the Curriculum and Learning Management Division, said that the activity is an innovation model in learning resource development projected in line with the quality management system goals of the DepEd Central Office. Zape is hopeful that CLRE is a pivotal project and he anticipates that in CLRE 2020, the materials presented will be designed and improved according to the critical needs of the learners and the existing curriculum standards.
SDO Dasmariñas City LR Team’s exhibit entries are selected from the submissions in the ongoing implementation of Flexible Resources for Equitable Education Delivery (FREED) Project which will cater to learners without physical and financial capacity to attend school, learners who are school representatives in division, regional, and national competitions, learners who missed classes due to natural calamities, and even to pregnant learners.
