Everything you need from fiction bestsellers, to textbooks, to graphic novels, and even educational materials are all under one roof. Moreover, the MIBF is also the go-to venue for this year’s most awaited book launches and signings, dialogues with readers, contests, and other literary events.)
After three decades, it has evolved from an event for the publishing industry and the academe to one of the most-awaited exhibitions for all sorts of readers. The MIBF has become a gathering of sorts for bookworms of all ages and walks of life to celebrate the joys of reading and the knowledge each book brings about. It has also been providing a venue for the exchange of ideas amongst players in the publishing and academic industry.
“HOW TO PICK A SPOUSE” BOOK LAUNCH: True Love Waits Philippines Partner, Pastor Dan Chun has a new book in the Philippines! How To Pick A Spouse. Please share with others about this new book that will have a great practical impact on how you choose the right person for you.
Anyone can get married. However, the goal should not only be to marry—but to marry the right person.
As a singles pastor for more than 6-1/2 years, author Dan Chun worked exclusively with more than 5,000 singles, and of the hundreds who were married under his teaching, less than ten percent got a divorce. Because it incorporates his principles that give a practical and proven way of picking a spouse, this book is your guide to finding—and keeping—a lifelong partner. You will discover how to test your relationship for key differences using a variety of methods including the Seven Cs: Character, Chemistry, Competency, Cultural Differences, Commitment, Communication and Core Values
“Every person I know who isn’t married really needs this book. If you have been married before, and it didn’t work out, then you clearly need this book! But if this is your first marriage, and you are highly unpracticed at picking a wife or husband, you are in great danger if you don’t follow wise decision making principles like you will find here.”

The MIBF
The Manila International Book Fair is the biggest and longest running book fair in the country. First and foremost, the MIBF aims to spread the love for reading among the Filipino public, and judging from the generations of visitors that keep coming back to the book fair each year, it has been successful in doing so.
The MIBF also provides a venue for the exchange of ideas amongst players in the publishing and academic book industry, gathering not just publishers, distributors, booksellers, authors, illustrators, and the academe, but also the end users: students, professionals, and book lovers.
At MIBF, the visitors were given an access to the largest and most varied collection of printed material, educational aids and multimedia, all under one roof. While the academe and professionals had the advantage of comparing prices, negotiating for bulk purchases, and even arranging for delivery without leaving the halls of the book fair. On the other hand the readers and book lovers had a wide variety of choices to suit their reading tastes.
