Pandacan and Kap. Isidro Library Appreciate PMBP

Cely Umali the OIC of Kapitan Isidro Library

Twenty days (20) ago, the PERTH-MANILA Book Project (PMBP) were acknowledged by community leaders, Kap. Isidro Mendoza Public Library officers, and Pandacan residents because of their heart-felt donations.

A “book shower” was held at the library showing our appreciation for the enthusiastic organizers of the book projects.

What exactly is a book shower? Read ahead para malaman nyo. :P

According to PMBP, the concept of a “book shower” is similar to bridal shower or baby shower, where giving gifts and presents is done. But in this case, Pandacan residents showed their appreciation by holding a formal book turn-over ceremony complete with speeches by leaders, and – of course – creative performances and numbers by youth group and stage performer.

One of the community leaders in attendance – Ka Sixto Carlos – gave a speech about community solidarity, youth involvement in performing arts such as the Teatro Balagtas, and social and environmental projects to revivify Pandacan.
