There are booth tents to explore as well as an opportunity to participate in other activities like mural painting and other activities lined up for the rest of the day for this whole day affair.
The Ayala Triangle Gardens will be bustling with people coming in and out of the park who are unaware of this event and for those looking forward to it since the announcement as this is free entry to see what books you’ll find.
Budjette and Kajo at the Visprint Booth
The creators of the popular Trese graphic novel are always on cloud nine despite both having lived in two different locations. Budjette is now based in Billund, while Kajo is down south of Davao City. They’re ecstatic to share their announcement to longtime Trese readers that the animated series is on its way to development.
At the same time, they are taking questions and signing books to longtime fans and to those who recently discovered their book. Trese is truly flying high despite that the most recent books have been taking a while to be released since both creators have been busy with their careers and have been eually proud of their creations slowly getting the global attention that has been ever since they started as photocopy print.
A Celebration for the Readers
Dia del Libro has continued its success in promoting reading, and the books are not extinct like the dinosaurs and will continue to thrive despite the lack of not having accessible public libraries for everyone in the country. There will always be book-related events out there to remind those who think books are the way of the dinosaurs are not going away that easily unlike audio and video stores.
The highlight today is all about the popularity of Trese and this is not its peak, and wait until the Netflix show gets streamed. The news of its development is promising and fans can’t wait for it. At the same time, the next volume of the popular graphic novel is in the works with Budjette and Kajo on top of it.
