The much-awaited book expo of the country has started. No wonder, by following their official campaign hashtags #MIBF and #WeLoveReading, you'll read in social media networks how bookworms, young students and reading advocates are thrilled to the opening of the 35th Manila International Book Fair. This year's MIBF is set as 4-day expo event, from September 17-21 at SMX Convention Center, Mall of Asia where you can expect unmissable book price discounts, special events, new releases and opportunity to book sign from attending authors and personalities.
One of the participating exhibitors that we find interesting is the Goethe-Institut Manila. In their colorful exhibit booth you can learn some basics about Germany in Filipino style.
