BATANG MALAYA: Freeing the Filipino Child Through a Community of Reading Champion
The theme emphasizes the transformative power of reading in empowering Filipino children. It highlights the importance of building a supportive network of reading advocates, educators, and community members who are dedicated to fostering literacy and unlocking the potential of every child.
