The 2017 Philippine Readers and Writers Festival

I have long wanted to participate in "The Philippine Readers and Writers Festival" of National Bookstore, in Raffles Makati, since its inception in 2014. The festival is held every year at Raffles Makati.

For some reasons, and for financial reasons, I can not go. Hopefully, I can go and attend this year's 2017 edition.

There are scheduled activities/lectures/seminar for each day. I just don't know if these events are free or not/otherwise.

It's been almost a month since my last post. My last post is about the book "Playlist for the Dead" by Michelle Falkoff. Since then, I forgot this blog.
