Reading in a new light

The festival addresses learning poverty and functional literacy issues in the Philippines. Despite poor reading culture, our local authors have created a treasure trove of amazing books waiting to be discovered. Unfortunately, many buyers are unaware of their breadth and availability and struggle to find them in libraries and stores.

This event believes in the power of books to enrich and transform lives – thus, bringing together a diverse selection of Filipino-authored books, making them more accessible and engaging for all. The Philippine Book Festival aims to empower teachers and parents to integrate these books into their kids’ learning experience and awaken the joy of discovering new worlds in every reader.

To address the reading and book procurement challenges in the Philippines, the National Book Development Board and the Department of Education will prioritize two key initiatives. First, they aim to cultivate a reading culture and inspire students to become avid readers. Second, they will guide teachers, evaluators, and procurement offices on how to make institutional purchases more effective. Both agencies commit to improving access to local books and will take steps to make them more widely available.
