Books remain a booming business In The Philippines

Good News: Irene B. Lloren, president of Primetrade Asia, organizer of the Manila International Book Fair (MIBF), the only internationally recognized book fair in the country, shares how well the trade grew over the last 28 years they have been mounting MIBF.

“When we started the book fair, we just had a few publishers in a small venue. Today, there are over 300 publishers and retailers participating. This attests to the growth and dynamism of the industry,” Lloren says.
