  • Philippine Book Fair Is Just A Book Experience: NBDB’s PBF 2024 Is One of the Grandest Philippine Book Festival

    For me, the National Book Development Board (NBDB)’s Philippine Book Festival (PBF) 2024 is one of the grandest Philippine Book Festival joined by book lovers, authors, publishers, personalities, artist, actors, guests and other concerned citizens from diverse cities and other places in the country that was held last May 25, 2024 to May 28, 2024 at World Trade Center Metro Manila, Pasay City.

    I was one of those who were excited and enjoyed the activities in the Philippine Book Festival 2024: “It’s Not Just A Book Fair, It’s A Book Experience.” Everyone was thrilled of the activities of the recent PBF 2024, especially those book lovers who was eager to meet their favorite authors, publishers, artists, actors and other personalities who participated the grandest Philippine Book Festival in the community.

    A lot of books published from diverse Filipino authors and Filipino publishers to read by the diverse readers from the diverse cities and other places in the society. I have learned how important of the existence of the Filipino books (including news papers, magazines, comics, etc.), especially those books written and published with our own ethnicity language in a certain locality. We should be reminded of the importance of basic principles and basic things in our daily living.

    The art of reading & listening is continuous process of communication and comprehension of both readers and listeners of books and audio, respectively, in general. How beautiful to read and speak with your mind of your favorite books written and published by your favorite Filipino authors and Filipino publishers in general. We should not also forget to read and internalize of the verses written in the Bible as part of our everyday living. Book is not only intended for children or book lovers, but book is for all. As long as we’re still able, imagine and think about it of the Philippine Book Festival this day & beyond.

  • Read Along with the Cast of Encantadia Chronicles: Sang’gre in the Philippine Book Festival 2024

    Who else were thrilled or excited about the Encantadia Chronicles: Sang’gre in the Philippine Book Festival (PBF) 2024 (PBF Special) at the Main Stage of World Trade Center Metro Manila on April 25, 2024?

    The main cast of Encantadia Chronicles: Sang’gre (Faith Da Silva, Kelvin Miranda, Angel Guardian, and Bianca Umali) has stories to tell about their characters of their kingdoms in Encantadia. They shared stories about their four kingdoms in the realm of 𝙀𝙣𝙘𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙖𝙙𝙞𝙖 through book reading as their listeners were thrilled and enjoyed listening to them, too.

    For me, listening to 𝗙𝗮𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗱𝗮 𝗦𝗶𝗹𝘃𝗮 (𝘍𝘭𝘢𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘢), 𝗞𝗲𝗹𝘃𝗶𝗻 𝗠𝗶𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮 (𝘈𝘥𝘢𝘮𝘶𝘴), 𝗔𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗹 𝗚𝘂𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗶́𝗮𝗻 (𝘋𝘦𝘪𝘢), and 𝗕𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗮 𝗨𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗶 (𝘛𝘦𝘳𝘳𝘢) of Encantadia Chronicles: Sang’gre in the PBF 2024 at the Main Stage of World Trade Center Metro Manila is a great experience and intrigue of the GMA Prime Encantadia Chronicles: Sang’gre.
