Since 2021, the National Book Development Board - Philippines's The Book Nook Project has also been a force for good in bringing hundreds of Filipino-published books to over 130 communities across the Philippines.

These books have been used for various DepEd programs such as, "Catch Up Fridays," "ARAL Program," and "Brigada Eskwela." This is in addition to various storytelling sessions, writing workshops, community outreach activities, and literacy interventions held inside and outside of Book Nook sites.

We at the Book Nook Parañaque congratulate DepEd and EDCOM II on the country's strongest PISA performance since 2018. May we continue to work together in creating a culture of reading in the Philippines one book at a time. It truly takes a village.

Aklat para sa lahat!

Congratulations to DepEd Philippines and EDCOM 2 - The Second Congressional Commission on Education on the country's strongest PISA performance since 2018!

To Secretary Sonny Angara, whose department carried the reforms through to the classroom. To EDCOM 2 Executive Director Karol Mark Yee, whose commission kept the evidence in front of policymakers and named the gaps plainly. And to Undersecretary Fatima Panontongan, who has been NBDB's steady counterpart at DepEd and who has argued, here and abroad, that education recovery takes structural work rather than short campaigns.

NBDB has been glad to work alongside them. Since 2023, the Philippine Book Festival has served as DepEd's venue for scoping Supplementary Learning Resources, putting Filipino-published titles in front of the people who choose what reaches public school libraries.

The PISA 2025 results belong to the learners and teachers who earned them. We are grateful to have been part of the effort.
