This marks the third year that Messiah Publishing House joined the Philippine Book Festival and it was all worth it.
The foot traffic was incredible. People filled the halls, exploring booths, attending book launches, and participating in various activities.
Day 1: Where Advocacy Meets Storytelling
MPH kicked things off with a book launch on March 12 from 1:00–2:00 PM. Ms. Amparo Dela Cruz shared insights about Save Our Seas with Lito and the SOS Team, the author of the book. Ms. Mica Agregado Proprietor of Plastics by Manila Automat also spoke about the importance of upcycling and how everyone can join in this advocacy of saving our environment.
It was a fun-filled day. After the launch, visitors flocked to our booth and purchased SOS books. Ms. Amparo warmly signed the storybooks, delighting both children and their parents.
Day 2 & 3: Moments of Joy, Learning, and Imagination
Beyond selling storybooks and textbooks, the festival was alive with activities, book signings, storytelling sessions, and more. MPH featured sea creature mascots from Day 1, making the entire fair vibrant, adding to the bookfair’s theme of biodiversity.
Day 4: Closing Chapters, Lasting Memories
The final day left us with lasting memories. We were busy engaging with visitors, helping them find what they needed, and capturing each moment. Every purchase and interaction were documented and shared on our social media platforms. There are still so many books to discover and treasures to uncover. PBF 2026 proved to be more than just an event, it’s a place not only for book lovers, but also for those beginning to fall in love with reading. It has become a haven for creativity, gaining insights, establishing networks, and taking time to dive into meaningful conversations.
