The Manila International Book Fair (MIBF), the Philippines’ biggest and longest-running book fair, makes a grand comeback on September 10 – 14, 2025, at the SMX Convention Center in Pasay City.
Spanning two floors of the SMX Convention Center, MIBF will showcase an extensive marketplace of books alongside a packed schedule of special events gathering publishers, authors, educators, and readers of all ages.
This year’s MIBF shines a spotlight on the theme “Stories in Every Form” — a celebration of the rich and evolving world of storytelling, going beyond the printed page and recognizing the many ways stories come to life today – from comics and graphic novels, to digital platforms, audiobooks, and other creative formats.
“Stories in Every Form describes the dynamic nature of literature and content creation today. MIBF has always been a place of discovery, and this year, we are putting a special spotlight on how stories connect with us through various mediums,” says Irene Lloren, president of Primetrade Asia, Inc., MIBF organizer.
