National Book Development Board (Philippines)
The National Book Development Board (NBDB) is an attached agency of the Department of Education that develops and promotes the Philippine book publishing industry. The agency was established with the enactment of Republic Act No. 8047, also known as the “Book Publishing Industry Development Act.” As the book authority of the Philippines, the NBDB leads the formulation and implementation of policies that support the growth of the book publishing industry in the Philippines.
Among its operational plans include capacity-building initiatives, investment and trade promotion activities, grants and incentives, readership development campaigns, and industry research and data gathering.
The NBDB was established following over a decade of legislative efforts to strengthen the book publishing industry by promoting equitable access to educational materials and eliminating tariffs and taxes. The initiative began with public hearings on July 25, 1994, and culminated in the enactment of Republic Act No. 8047, signed by President Fidel V. Ramos on June 7, 1995. This legislation, consolidating Senate Bill No. 252, authored by Senator Edgardo J. Angara, and House Bill No. 12614, aimed to position the book publishing industry as a key element in education and national development. The Act repealed Executive Order 492 of 1991, which had established the Instructional Materials Development Center under the Department of Education, Culture, and Sports (DECS).
The NBDB is mandated by R.A. 8047 to:
The NBDB is governed by a Governing Board composed of representatives from the government and the private book industry sectors. The agency is led by its Chairperson, assisted by a Secretariat through an Executive Director, who is designated by the NBDB Governing Board.
Charisse Aquino-Tugade is the Executive Director of the NBDB of the Philippines. Under her leadership, the NBDB has implemented changes to its operations[clarification needed] and worked to increase the inclusion of Philippine-published books in government textbook programs.
The NBDB co-organizes the National Book Awards with the Manila Critics Circle, the National Children's Book Awards (with the Philippine Board on Books for Young People), and the Filipino Readers’ Choice Awards.
A number of grants and subsidies including The National Book Development Trust Fund, Publication Grants, the NBDB Translation Subsidy Program, and the Creative Nation Grant are also available from the organisation.
