Excited to work with the Nat’l Book Dev’t Board (NBDB) in making the
a Guest of Honor (GOH) in the Frankfurt Book Fair (FBF), hopefully, in 2025.
Becoming the Guest of Honor in the largest trade fair for books
is similar to participating in the Olympics of the book publishing industry!
We are now taking steps to making sure that we get to that goal amid this pandemic. I’m glad to have met last week with @nbdb_phl Chair Dante Ang II, the newly-appointed ED Charisse Tugade and former NBDB Chair Neni Sta Romana as well as @mariakarinaa.bolasco and @anialmario , who are both Officers of the @bdap, and NBDB Directors Anthony Balisi and Ryan Esteban, and FBF Vice President Claudia Kaiser and FBF Head of Guest of Honour Programme Simone Bühler as we combined our common desire to push things forward.
We are a nation rich with talented #writers, #artists and #illustrators whose works are worth showcasing in important venues such as the FBF, which will create more opportunities for them. That’s why, as then Chair of the Senate Comm on Finance, I ensured funding support for our country’s participation since 2016 up to present.
It was 2015 when FBF had a SE Asia Country as GOH (Indonesia). Here’s hoping and claiming that 2025 will finally be the Philippines’
turn, so stay tuned!
