  • The Philippine Book Festival Is Back, And It’s Bigger Than Ever!

    The Philippine Book Festival Is Back, And It’s Bigger Than Ever!

    For the second year running, the National Book Development Board Philippines (NBDB) is brining together publishers, authors, artists, education, and readers at the country’s biggest traveling book festival.

    Taking place at the World Trade Center in Pasay from April 25 to 28, 2024, the PBF is a four-day celebration showcasing the richness of Philippine literature, culture, and arts. This unique book fair integrates education, entertainment, tourism, and shopping into family-friendly event.

    In addition to the extensive collection of published works and titles from the Philippines, this year’s festival offers a diverse range of talks and workshops.

    Highlights include “A day with Gwy Saludes.” featuring an exclusive book signing and meet-and-greet session with the author. Historian and bestselling author Ambeth Ocampo will lead “Ambeth Without the Overcoat,” a book signing session. National Artist for Film and Broadcast Arts, Ricky Lee, will present “Trip to Quiapo,” while “Dahiling Nick: A Tribute to National Artists Nik Joaquin” will honor the renowned writer. Other sessions include “Aklat Para Sa Accla: New Trends in Boys Love and Girls Love,” “Comics Can Change the World” with Patti Ramos, and “Zine-making 101,” a workshop on crafting independent-produced “fanzines” led by Komiket’s Bunny Luz.

    Attendees can anticipate the comeback of the Rare Book Collection by the National Library of the Philippines, which will feature a new selection of rare manuscripts and facsimiles; the Book Bar -a library of sorts filled with award-winning books; Cosplay Filipinia, a cosplay competition allowing fans to portray their beloved Philippine literacy characters; and Guhit Pambata, an exhibit highlighting the creations of some of our best children’s book illustrators. This year, the PBF will launch Tabuan Food Hall, wherein guests can feast in between pages.

    The festival brings back its four popular realms: Kid Lit, a land just for children, Komiks, which puts the spotlight on Pinoy komiks, Booktopia, home to an abundance of fiction and non-fiction titles, and Aral Aklat, which is devoted to textbooks and educational materials. There will be a Creators lab, Main Stage, and Kids-at-Play that highlight exciting talks, activities, and workshops more specific to the interests of readers and fans of those pages.

    Panels, puppet shows, storytelling with surprise television and movie celebrities, and live performances are excluded throughout the four-day festival.

    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.

    The fair is open to the public from 8:00AN to 8:00PM on April 25-28, 2024, with no entrance fees. For more information on the Philippine Book Festival and to register for free, visit www.philippinebookfest.com.

  • Vinyl Gold Rush: More audiophiles troop to latest edition of ‘One Stop Record Fair’

    Vinyl Gold Rush: More audiophiles troop to latest edition of ‘One Stop Record Fair’

    More and more audiophiles keep digging their hands for hours to score the vinyl record they have been searching for so long. Audiophiles crowded the first “One Stop Record Fair” for this year which kicked off at the new Greenhills Mall in San Juan City recently.

    The quarterly music event “One Stop Record Fair” featured over 30 vinyl record sellers, such as Bunnygod Records, Tambai Records, Lennox Records, Kapitan Plaka, Musique Vibe Records, Mamsy Records, Plakatons, Ohmandys, and Perfect Day Records, among others. Vinyl records from as early as the 60s to 2020s were discounted up to 50 percent and sold for as low as 200 pesos, but everyone is welcome to negotiate and ask for discounts. First pressings are often sold for an expensive price so it’s good to note for next time to bring additional cash.

    Got no turntable and other audio equipment yet? Fret not because cassette tapes and compact discs (CDs) were also available at the record fair. Audio-Technica had a booth selling their audio gear such as turntables and speakers. Notable titles which are sold at the event are Bob James Trio’s “Feel like Making Love” and “The World’s Greatest Audiophile Vocal Recordings” both from UG34 Music; Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham’s “Buckingham Nicks (Japan Pressing” and “City Pop Avenue” by Paper Moon Project from Bunnygod Records; Edie Brickell & The New Bohemians’ “Shooting Rubberbands At The Sky (US First Pressing) and Charles Mingus’ “Mingus at Monterey (Japan pressing mono)” from New Vintage Culture and other unique records sold.

    Cubil’s wife Keiko Necesario, who is also a singer-songwriter, joined him on stage to sing their song “Una.” Meanwhile, director and actor Bobot Mortiz launched his 8-track vinyl album “Goin’ Standard,” a collection of standards popularized by Frank Sinatra, at the record fair.

    “I am happy with the outcome of this event. One Stop Record Fair is indeed successful. I can say that ‘our events are always successful, and it was different from previous fair since it was more fun and more people came,’” said Sari Osorio, the organizer of the record fair.

    Osorio noted that the people are also more excited this time because they already know what the record fair offers and they want to get a look at what has been added to the mix since the last fair.

    Get ready to get digging because the next “One Stop Record Fair will be in June 2024.
