NBDB Executive Director Charise Aquino-Tugade
This year, we have more authors and we bring together the best Philippine content for the entire family. The country needs more reading spaces that encourage conversation, creation and collaboration. Ang Philippine Book Festival ang nagsisilbing panghikayat ng NBDB sa iba pang mga organisasyon na lumahok at makiisa sa mga programang magtutulak sa mga Filipino na magbasa dahil ang aklat ay para sa lahat,” said NBDB Executive Director Charise Aquino-Tugade.
The event is longer this year to give ample time for teachers, librarians, and organizations to research the books they need for their schools. Similar to last year, NBDB is working closely with Department of Education (DepEd) to train more than 750 book evaluation and procurement officers to scope and evaluate books to purchase for public school libraries and library hubs. Evaluators from all over the country will fly in to source educational books for the students of their regions.
A Feast for the Eyes
The festival will be a feast for the eyes too as it features the designs of talented graphic designer and children’s book illustrators. Marc Vincent Soriano, Liza Flores, and Beth Parrocha. Parrocha designed the four realms, finding inspiration in the four major elements: water for Kid; earth for Komiks; fire for Aral Aklat; and air for Booktopia. Each realm has its color as well – pink, purple, yellow, and aqua – to make it easy for guests to figure out which part of the festival they’re in.
“I had fun doing all the visuals. It’s great opportunity for any artist to be given the whole World Trade Center as a canvas for my art,” Parrocha said.
A Strongest Culture of Reading
The Philippine Book Festival is part of the National Book Development Board’s effort to promote a culture of reading and development industry in the Philippines.
“The Philippine Book Festival is part of the National Book Development Board’s effort to promote a culture of reading and develop the publishing industry in the Philippines.
“The Philippine Book Fair is a program that, on the one hand, is all about celebrating Philippine culture, but on the other hand, encompasses our agency’s long-term plans: improve access for every Filipino reader, democratize distribution, and enable our publishers and authors to keep Philippine books,” said Chairperson Ang.
