Yesterday, members of the NBDB Creatives and Professional Development Division, along with an evaluation committee composed of 10 language experts, convened for the final deliberations on the grant recipients of the Translation Subsidy Program.

Out of 76 proposals, 34 applicants will be provided subsidy grants for the translation of their works from English to any of the Philippine languages and vice versa. This grant will enable their titles to reach more readers across the archipelago and beyond our borders.

In 2025, the Translation Subsidy Program provided 19 grants for the translation of stories into other Philippine languages. We’re building on that momentum this year to make Filipino-authored books more accessible to readers who speak diverse languages throughout the country.

Watch this space for the announcement of the grantees for this year’s cycle!

Building on the momentum of the Philippines’ participation as Guest of Honour at the 2025 Frankfurt Book Fair, the Philippine Consulate General in Frankfurt launched Luntian Leseraum, a year-round showcase of Philippine books and publications.

During the launch, NBDB Executive Director Charisse Aquino-Tugade emphasized the importance of collaboration in helping Filipino authors and publishers access new markets. Consul General Marie Yvette Banzon Abalos reaffirmed the Consulate’s commitment to making Filipino books more accessible to international readers.

The event also celebrated Filipino creativity through a poetry reading by Atty. Andrea Pasion-Flores of the Book Development Association of the Philippines and a musical performance by Filipino-German artist ffm.joe.

Located within the Consulate, Luntian Leseraum connects publishers and industry professionals with Philippine-published works for potential international publication, translation, and rights acquisition.

Umarangkada ang Biyaheng Book Nook!

From October 5 to 9, the NBDB conducted the annual visit to six Book Nook sites across the MIMAROPA and CALABARZON regions. The NBDB site visit team was able to meet with the sites' Area Coordinators, Local Chief Executives, educators, and reading advocates of all ages.

The visits took stock of how each site is doing today and began sustainability plans with the partners who anchor them. As they are closest to the shelves, they know which titles get read often and what the next batch of books should cover. When they own the plan, a Book Nook stays open and in use long after the visit ends. Across all Book Nook sites, that local ownership is what keeps the program running.

The NBDB would like to thank our partners from Book Nook Marinduque, Book Nook Romblon State University, Batangas State University, Book Nook Oriental Mindoro, Book Nook Pakil, and Book Nook Los Baños for being champions of readership. May we continue to work together in building a reading Philippines!

Aklat para sa lahat!

What a privilege it was to bring to Frankfurter Buchmesse 2026 and share the rich stories shaping Philippine publishing with the world!

To everyone who helped make this journey possible, maraming salamat po! Every effort and every collaboration contributed to making our participation meaningful. It takes a community to bring our stories beyond our shores, and we are grateful to everyone who became part of this experience.

A special shoutout to the Philippine Consulate General in Frankfurt and our co-exhibitors: Anvil Publishing, Ateneo University Press, CentralBooks, Kawangis Publishing, Milflores Publishing, Precious Pages Corp., Rex Education, and TechFactors Inc. Thank you for sharing this space with us, celebrating the diversity of our books and stories, and opening doors to new possibilities for Philippine publishing. Here's to the connections we've made and the partnerships we hope to nurture long after the fair.

And, of course, to our NBDB family: maraming salamat for the hard work, dedication, and heart you poured into making this happen. From the preparations leading up to Frankfurt to the many things that unfolded during the fair, this milestone belongs to everyone who helped bring it to life.

The work of bringing Filipino stories to the world continues.

The NBDB team's final stop in its series of site visits was Book Nook Los Baños in Laguna, one of the first reading spaces established under the Book Nook Project.

Area Coordinator Ricamela Palis welcomed the team and shared how the Book Nook Los Baños brings Filipino-authored books beyond its reading space and into communities across CALABARZON. Together with custodian Myla Perez, the team held storytelling sessions in collaboration with ARTIST, Inc. (Arts Research and Training Institute in Southern Tagalog) and Move to Change Foundation, Inc. These sessions were accompanied by the staging of “Shift Happens,” a touring theater production spearheaded by ARTIST, Inc.

We also discussed opportunities to expand the Book Nook Project's reach, particularly in communities with limited or no access to Filipino-authored and locally published books.

We thank our fellow reading advocates at Book Nook Los Baños and all our Book Nook sites across CALABARZON and MIMAROPA for advancing our shared goal of fostering a reading culture, one Book Nook at a time.
