The three-day festival will hold special meet-and-greet events with celebrated writers such as award-winning author and historian Ambeth R. Ocampo and rising star Gwy Saludes on June 3 and 4, respectively.

Actress and writer Rica Peralejo-Bonifacio will also hold a special program with her latest book on marriage, “Eleven Eleven: Painting the Challenge and Beauty of Marriage.”
