Andrea Pasion-Flores.

National Artist for Film and Broadcast Arts Ricky Lee will also sign copies of his books at the UST PH booths and on the MIBF Main Stage on Sept. 14 and 17. UST PH, founded in 1593, is celebrating its 430th anniversary this year. Another MIBF activity that mustn’t be missed is the Book Development Association of the Philippines Gintong Aklat Awards 2022. The awarding ceremonies will be at the Main Stage on Sept. 14 at 3:00 p.m.

As the years went by and support for the fair grew, special events and activities were added such as writing workshops, storytelling sessions, and book signings. The Philippines has been invited to be the Guest of Honor at the Frankfurt Book Fair, the world’s largest, in 2025, assuring global visibility for Philippine titles.
