ST PAULS Joins Manila International Book Fair

September 11, 2025. With the slogan “Hope in Every Form,” ST PAULS participates in the 46th Manila International Book Fair (MIBF), held on September 10–14, 2025, at the SMX Convention Center, Mall of Asia Complex, Pasay City. MIBF is the longest-running and largest book fair in the Philippines. Organized by Primetrade Asia, Inc., it has become a premier literary and educational event, attracting over 160,000 visitors annually and featuring more than 200 local and international exhibitors.

ST PAULS’ participation is managed by the Marketing Sector under Fr. Albert Garong and supervised by the Director General for Apostolate, Fr. John Klen Malificiar. This year’s booth design, created by Rev. Ronel De los Reyes, highlights various presentations of the Jubilee Year of Hope, including the official mascot “Luce” and Jubilee-themed byproducts and souvenir items.

The booth showcases ST PAULS’ seasonal offerings such as the Bible Diary, 365 Days with the Lord, Pandasal for Mass and daily prayers, devotional calendars, and liturgical guides. It also features newly released titles, two of which are finalists for the Cardinal Sin Catholic Book Awards.

In addition, the booth serves as the reference point for the 12th edition of the St. Paul National Bible Quiz, whose Championship Round will be held at the SMX Convention Center on the morning of September 12. Twelve schools—selected from over 300 that joined the elimination and semifinal rounds—will compete for the championship, with recognition and prizes awarded to the finalists.
