Dateline: 23 April 2018, Fort Santiago, Intramuros, Manila
At the Book Fiesta yesterday, organized by the National Book Development Board, in observance of World Book and Copyright Day, bought bargain-bin priced books from New Day Publishers -- volumes 1 to 3 of Justices of the Supreme Court by Victor Sevilla, and Filipino Images: Culture of the Public World by Niels Mulder. I guess I'm more affected by the burning issues of the day than I could care to admit.
Not as steeply discounted (understandable because it's newly published), also bought LORD PLS: Prayers From a Real World by Alan Navarra, published by Visprint.
Disappointed with UP Press, though; they didn't sell Florin Hilbay's book Unplugging the Constitution.
Experience could have been more complete for me if I was able to attend "(Author)ities," the Philippine Literary Festival organized Thursday and Friday of the previous week by NBDB together with the Cultural Center of the Philippines as part of Buwan ng Panitikan (National Literature Month).
