hereโ€™s a quick recap of my experience at the @manilabookfair #mibf2026 ๐Ÿค“ (ka grabe ba ang dami ng tao!)

we got there early, and my first order of business was to visit the @myavenidaph booth because i know from firsthand experience that the lines for payment could get real crazyyy!

then, had to squeeze my way through the @officialpsicom booth as well to get 2 books off my list.

quickly made my way through the floor to also buy the first volume of maharlika (which came highly, highly recommended by so many friends) and @manunulatmambabasaโ€™s latest work!

very strategic, yes, but hours were spent trying to stay aliveโ€”apaka daming tao akala ko di ako makakalabas ng humihinga. ๐Ÿ˜‚

as much as i wanted to avoid the bigger crowds, i had to also check out the @nationalbookstore, @_fullybooked, and @komiketph booths. as expected, there was like twice the number of people, but we pushed forward. ๐Ÿ˜‚

i ended up with a few more books than expected (wala talaga siyang self-control), but quick disclaimer: the teen titans dc comics, were from fully booked gateway, and the ๐Ÿ”ฅ nightwing comic is actually from @comicodyssey!

at the komiket booth, i knew i also had to support @differenceenginesg and so after having learned about some of their works, i ended up getting myself a copy of afterlife (the copies i have of delay and magical sweet gula were generously gifted by their team, and i canโ€™t wait to share it with the BU fam!)

when we did a second sweep of the 2nd floor, i saw @kapitantambayโ€™s booth and immediately fell in love with his insanely awesome xmen art!! tried to come back to get a cyclops sticker too, but my legs were already failing me at this point. ๐Ÿ˜‚

soโ€ฆ ayun. hindi ko rin alam ano nangyari, itโ€™s like i was possessed or something. ๐Ÿค“

was lucky enough to get a few of my books signed by the authors โ€” maraming salamat kina sir nal, sir @erikpingol, at sir @rexyfromearth for thoughtfully signing my books (awow naman si konyo?) always happy to be supporting filipino authors!

first time attending a book event with my high school barkada. ang saya pala, kasi halos pare-pareho kaming nabudol. ๐Ÿ˜‚ always very happy to be catching up (?) with these folks!
