 As promised, I have gathered photos from different learning communities near and far (Manila) who celebrated the 29th NCBD. This photo at the left shows the Philippine Board on Books for Young People (PBBY) board members with Russell Molina, Salanga Prize winner and Hubert Fucio, Alcala Prize winner cutting the ribbon for the art exhibit of all Alcala entries.

Twelve years ago, Molina and Fucio accepted their first Salanga and Alcala respectively. Back then, they were single guys. Now, they both have growing families. Their daughters joined them in the ceremonial ribbon cutting.

Below are the photos on the 29th NCBD celebration from here to there -
