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.
