How do we build our youth’s literacy and reading comprehension?

Publishing house Bookshelf PH recently partnered with Project Dionysus and Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) Marikina Mini Library this year by donating some of its in-house books by inspiring Filipino authors. As part of community development, this collaboration enriches the youth’s exposure to reading, providing them with an after-school activity to expand their reading comprehension and explore diverse genres of books beyond the classroom.

The donation of books also supports the thesis film by a group of dedicated undergraduate theater students from the Department of Performing Arts at the Polytechnic University of the Philippines (PUP) called Project Dionysus.&nbsp;

“Our book donation hopes to give the students of PUP a new set of reads, and at the same time, serve as a donation drive to support Project Dionysus’ thesis film,” Michelle Dulinayan, Marketing Manager of Bookshelf said.

Their thesis on Streetlight Manifesto by Mixkaela Villalon revolves around a streetlamp being the only witness of two hired hitmen’s rendezvous every night who are responsible for Manila murders. Every day, a dead body shows up at that same streetlight. The search for truth ensues as the cases remain unsolved while the body count rises. Directed by Jetro Sebastian Tino, it reveals the creativity and wisdom that these students have accumulated over the years.

Bookshelf PH donated books to SK Marikina Mini Library in Barangay Jesus dela Peña. With the help of SK Chairwoman Joana Marie Dela Paz, SK Secretary Joselle Manglicmot, and SK Kagawads: Seth Nicole Torres, Nica Joy De Leon, Jonahr Eiz Dela Paz, Jean Hershey Reyes, Kevin Christian Tapel, the books were received by SK Kgds Johana Mae Damole and Rico Miguel Esteban, and SK Treasurer Ana Coleen de Asis.&nbsp;

Monette Quiogue, Co-founder of Bookshelf PH, also met Barangay Captain Rosette Sarmiento to discuss how Filipino-authored books can be more accessible in such communities.

“We want to encourage our youth to read more books and be inspired to explore genres written by local talent,” Quiogue said. “That way, we’re not just enriching their literacy at an early age, we’re also encouraging them to dream and feel represented in the books they read.”

If you want to join this movement in Marikina, drop by Jesus dela Pena’s Barangay Hall and visit its local mini-library.

Bookshelf PH houses diverse books in different genres as it aims to promote and print books authored by local Filipino writers. The goal is to develop literature that contributes to individual and community empowerment. Visit bookshelf.com.ph for more.

Bookshelf PH Donates to PUP Students’ Project Dionysus and SK Marikina Mini Library

Monette Quiogue, the co-founder of Ambidextr and Bookshelf PH, engaged in a discussion at Little Theater,&nbsp; UP Visayas in Iloilo City on April 27, 2024 as part of the BSBA Marketing students’ annual conference —ADCON 2024 with its theme, LikhAdvertising: Behind the Artistic Scenes of Creative Marketing. In its 24th year, it explored the synergy between art, culture, and effective campaigns. Ms. Quiogue's topic, LikhaRatura: The Transformative Art of Narrative Marketing, dwelled on the idea that writing a book not only establishes one as a thought leader, but also expands on one’s grasp of marketing strategies through avenues such as book marketing, content marketing, and partnerships. 

The event was spearheaded by Prof. Maria Theresa C. Albaña, and was organized by the 4th-year BSBA Marketing students from the University of the Philippines Visayas. Speakers were invited to discuss various aspects of creative marketing. The first speaker, Director Frances Anthea Redison, with her topic: “GlobaLikha: A Deep Dive into Culturally-Sensitive Marketing,” highlighted the importance of being aware of gender and culture when having collaborative work with different communities.&nbsp;

The discussion was followed by Ms. Monette Quiogue’s topic, “LikhaRatura: The Transformative Art of Narrative Marketing” in which she addressed key questions such as why one should write a book, how to begin the writing process, what message to convey, when to initiate the endeavor, and where to sell the finished book. Ms. Quiogue also mentioned that the most straightforward route to personal and professional growth lies in reading, highlighting the need to write books for people who aim for this growth. In her talk, she noted that by writing a book, you establish yourself as a thought leader where one can establish authority, reach diverse audiences, educate markets, develop strategic partnerships, and generate leads and sales — which are all beneficial in the business field.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Her discourse also underscored the importance of creating a proficient team to assist with the process of publishing a book. Notably, she highlighted Bookshelf PH as an online publishing platform and content marketing agency that specializes in promoting and printing books authored by Filipino writers, making it an invaluable resource for authors seeking support in their publishing journey. With its dedication to championing literature reflecting Filipino values and ideals, Bookshelf PH not only offers publishing services. It also assumes the role of a cultural envoy, magnifying the narratives of Filipino authors worldwide. This pinpoints the potency of thought leadership and storytelling in marketing endeavors.&nbsp;

To wrap up the insightful sharing from the speakers, the first day of ADCON 2024 was concluded with a workshop by Creative Lead for Content Partnership at Canva, Ms. Eulah Araullo with her "MaLikHain Workshop," which dealt with creative approaches and techniques in marketing.
