HEARTBREAKTHROUGH BOOK SIGNING HIGHLIGHTS AT THE 39TH MIBF

It was the last day of the 39th Manila International Book Fair at the SMX Convention Center. Was so happy to sign copies of my inspirational book Heartbreakthrough 8 Steps to Rise Above Heartbreak The Lord's Way published by the Claretian Communications Foundation, Inc. at their awesome booth filled with giant sizes of books like their Bible Diary, Daily Gospel and other seasonal products put together which serves as their pillar and our table with the purposes of reading containing more books properly piled up at each shelf where the reading purposes are labeled. Another special feature of the booth are two flying Bible Diaries with bright fluorescent lights each in the middle located at the cash registers! Their creativity and tenacity are amazing, indeed!

LALA AND THE ENCHANTED CLOAK BOOK SIGNING HIGHLIGHTS AT THE 39TH MIBF

After the Grand Book Launch, we had a Meet & Greet session, a book signing event in the afternoon highlighted by a story telling session (this time with Ms. Melai Ramirez of the National Library of the Philippines' Kwentista group going solo still wearing her beautifully designed enchanted cloak) and another puppet show at the Vibal Group/Chikiting Books booth. We are also glad to see Melai, Onyot and friends again regaling the kids with their presence. 

Vibal's Marketing Group headed by Ms. Chona and Ms. Kristine delighted the kids to a mini-workshop Design Your Own Enchanted Cloak and the artists in the kids were unleashed!
