MIBF is one of the biggest and longest-running book fairs in the Philippines. The 2019 edition, held at the SMX Convention Center, Pasay City, featured more than 200 local and foreign publishers and booksellers and 450 booths. The five-day event also held seminars, workshops, book signings, and a Fandom Fest. – Rappler.com
