The promise I made in "Filipino Book Historians in Oxford" has been fulfilled. The panel entitled "On the History of the Book in the Philippines" went very well this morning, despite a delayed start followed by technical difficulties, at the 8th International Conference on Philippine Studies. Papers were read in the following order:

Making a List: Analytical Bibliography,
Literary Historiography, and the Filipino Novel
PATRICIA MAY JURILLA

30 Years of Philippine Tradebook Publishing
KARINA BOLASCO

The Importance of the First Two Books
Printed in the Philippines
VERNON TOTANES

Publishing the History of
Jose Rizal’s Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo
AMBETH OCAMPO
The best part came during lunch when a participant volunteered, with no prompting whatsoever, that ours was the best panel she had attended =)
