How do we build our youth\u2019s literacy and reading comprehension?<\/p>\n

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\u2019s exposure to reading, providing them with an after-school activity to expand their reading comprehension and explore diverse genres of books beyond the classroom.<\/p>\n

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.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cOur 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\u2019 thesis film,\u201d Michelle Dulinayan, Marketing Manager of Bookshelf said.<\/p>\n

Their thesis on Streetlight Manifesto by Mixkaela Villalon revolves around a streetlamp being the only witness of two hired hitmen\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to encourage our youth to read more books and be inspired to explore genres written by local talent,\u201d Quiogue said. \u201cThat way, we\u2019re not just enriching their literacy at an early age, we\u2019re also encouraging them to dream and feel represented in the books they read.\u201d<\/p>\n
