Manila: The floating bookshow is back in Manila. MV Logos Hope has returned to the Philippines and will remain at Pier 15 in the Port Area, Manila, until March 13 when it leaves for Subic Bay.
Book lovers trooped to the Manila pier to aboard MV Logos Hope, which features more than 5,000 book titles.
One of the ship’s visitors, Gia Abelarde, said her mother introduced her to the idea of the floating book fair.
Logos Hope was launched in February 2009 and replaced the decommissioned MV Doulos. It has been traveling around the world for about 40 years.
The ship’s crew and staff are all volunteers from over 50 different countries.
Aside from books, the ship also features an internet café and other educational activities.
