Executive Order
On February 15, 2015, the celebration of the National Literature Month (Buwan ng Panitikan) was enacted through Presidential Proclamation 968. The National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA), Komisyon sa Wikang Filipino (KWF), and the National Book Development Board (NBDB) were assigned as the lead agencies in preparation, coordination, and implementation of the activities and events relating to the celebration of National Literature Month.
All departments, agencies, or instrumentalities of the government, including government-owned or -controlled corporations (GOCC) were directed to implement projects pursuant to this Proclamation, while civil society organizations and the private sector were encouraged to participate and render assistance to the NCCA, the KWF, the NBDB and other concerned agencies.
Celebration in the past years and a look forward for the years to come
For the past three years, the National Literature Month has been reaching out to the public and to the regions. It is also starting to gain appreciation among different institutions and civic organizations. Different literary organizations and educational institutions have expressed their interests on how they can partake and contribute to the nationwide festivities.
In preparation for next year’s celebration, the NCCA, KWF, and NBDB, are issuing a call for ideas, proposals, and existing projects that can be included to the official celebration of the 2019 National Literature Month.
