Over 40,000 visitors were captivated this year’s Philippine Book Festival (PBF) and energized the four-day event at the Megatrade Hall in SM Megamall, Mandaluyong City. PBF 2025 was held recently and was powered by the National Book Development Board (NBDB).
Rex Education, a leading book publisher and education solutions provider in the Philippines, participated and showcased its latest titles by Filipino authors, including Filipiniana titles. Rex’s main booth unveiled academic titles from basic, college, and law education, with every offering thoughtfully developed by various experts in the field.
NBDB aptly chose a fiesta/festival theme to make the event merry and fun-filled. In keeping with the festive and celebratory mood, Rex offered exclusive deals and big discounts and joined in the fun with exciting games and prizes.
Moreover, Rex held a stamp-collecting activity at its Lakbay Aklat booth to give guests an immersive experience. Those who completed the activity received prizes. Additionally, REX organized a Scavenger Hunt where the participants learned more about the company’s offerings while also exploring the event in a fun, engaging way. Those who joined the Scavenger Hunt also received prizes and tokens or Rex keepsakes.
What’s more, Rex also brought out its Photoman to give guests and learners alike unique photo opportunities to celebrate their learning journey at PBF 2025. This was a great way to capture the event, preserved in a photograph. All these activities and more were a hit with PBF patrons.
Rex’s booths demonstrated the company’s commitment to authors, learners, and all book lovers, providing quality Filipino-made books, learning materials, and a dynamic platform for educators and publishing professionals. This year’s PBF, with its fiesta theme, striking and vibrant visuals, and interactive aspects, truly appealed to young children and the young-at-heart. It was a fusion of engaging, experience-based settings with entertainment, education, and shopping convenience.
PBF 2025 was also an excellent opportunity for the Department of Education (DepEd) and the country’s publishers to connect and strengthen year-long relationships, just as Rex and DepEd did during the event. This collaboration enabled DepEd to make large-scale institutional purchases of various learning materials at competitive prices, with the goal of promoting the love of reading to Filipinos and help resolve issues of access and literacy.
As NBDB and DepEd continue the ever-evolving and challenging task of uplifting education in the Philippines through fairs such as the Philippine Book Festival 2025, Rex Education promises to remain a steadfast ally and will provide support in every way possible.
