Sara: Natl book board helps students hone reading, writing skills

(UPDATE) VICE President Sara Duterte on Friday lauded the National Book Development Board (NBDB) for being instrumental in improving writing and reading skills, as well as helping expand the reach of the local book publishing industry.

In her keynote speech at the Philippine Book Festival in Davao City, Duterte stressed the importance of the work the NBDB has done in promoting books whose authors have "dedicated their lives to the profession and advocacy of sharing their expert or academic knowledge with others."
