The biggest book fair in the country is back, and the book budol will be worth it!

Held from September 15 to 18, 2022 at the SMX Convention Center Mall of Asia Complex in Pasay City, the Manila International Book Fair (MIBF) reopens its doors to all readers after two years of being held online. Yey!

If you’re like me, Bibi Mangki #thereadingmonkey, then this event is an exciting one for you. In fact, I’ve already gone to Days 1 and 2 to give my fellow readers a heads-up on what’s up!

Here are some of my recommendations. Make sure to always double check the booth numbers and schedule of events on the MIBF Facebook page so you know where exactly to go and arrive ahead of time. Have fun and stay safe!
