Meet Filipino authors and creators, discover new titles, join talks, workshops, and enjoy live performances for freeIt's a rare thing now, seeing people read—even more so reading with actual physical books. Because of this, we are very excited about this latest announcement by the National Book Development Board .
The three-day event will take place on June 2, 4 p.m. to 9 p.m., and on June 3 and 4 from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. at the World Trade Center in Pasay City. “How come we know about Shakespeare? How come we know about all of these global authors, but we don’t even know the works of our own? We have amazing Filipino authored content yet we lack access. We’ve created a space where the entire family can enjoy all genres—from children’s books to comics, textbooks, non-fiction books, and everything in between. That’s what the Philippine Book Festival is all about,” says NBDB Executive Director Charisse Aquino-Tugade, during the media press conference.
Apart from the meet-and-greets and book signings with authors, there will also be talks and workshops on creating webtoon stories, visual storytelling, illustrating books for children, and more.
