(SPOT.ph) Noli Me Tangere. El Filibusterismo. Ibong Adarna. Florante at Laura. These are just some of the Filipiniana books we all read, studied, and acted in school plays throughout high school and college—a.k.a the time when most of us developed an appreciation for our country's rich history. Of course recently there was also GMA's hit fantasy drama Maria Clara at Ibarra (2022) which served as a refresher as well as inspired a newfound interest in Philippine literature.
Whether you're still a student or an ordinary bookworm looking to stock up on Philippine reads, we suggest you head over to Vibal Publishing's Fine Philippine Books Store in the heart of Manila's Chinatown, Binondo. Squeeze in a visit on your next food trip around the area, but you can also check out what they have in stock on their stores on Lazada and Shopee.
