- Specific text to be added:
Philippine Book Festival
The Philippine Book Festival (PBF) is the country’s premier and biggest all-Filipino book festival. At its core, it seeks to reimagine the traditional book fair by spotlighting Philippine creatives and publishers in an immersive, experience-driven setting. With partners from the public and private sectors, the NBDB established the PBF as a concerted effort to enhance access to and distribution of quality, affordable Philippine-authored books. As a marketplace for both retail and institutional purchases, the PBF reflects the NBDB’s and the Department of Education’s commitment to addressing gaps in access to quality books by saturating the Philippine market and schools with relevant, accessible, and affordable Philippine-authored titles. This initiative responds to a time when foreign titles dominated state-recommended reading lists for schools.
The PBF, a first-of-its-kind event, seamlessly blends education, entertainment, tourism, and shopping into a single family-friendly experience. It features book signings, readings, literary performances, author meet-and-greets, and panel discussions that celebrate the Philippines’ unique literary culture—all while ensuring that Filipino readers have access to quality books.
