Two reasons: either this people really love books or they just wanted to get a hold of something that they can resell at a much higher price later, hehehehe… This looks like the pier in manila, am I right?

I remember there was another “floating” bookstore back in the days pero either sa cavite or batangas area palagi ang dock nya so we had to commute all the way to that area to buy books… pila pila rin, nagmumuring kasi ang mga hardbound na textbooks, ganda pa ng bookpaper na ginammit, glossy na, colored pa pagka illustrate! Di katulad sa mga textbook sa Pinas, newsprint na paperbound pa piktapos cover lang ang colored, ANG MAHAL PA!!!

Ang kukuripot kasi naman ng publishing companies sa atin, di man lang mag invest sa mga bagong cost effective machines para naman maka publish sila ng quality books at a reasonable price. Alam mo, content wise, mas magaganda ang textbooks natin dyan kesa yung gawa ng mga titseraka dito…pero sa presenteyshun…wag mo na lang itabi kasi nagmumukhang aliping sagigilid mga books natin..

while i was there, i was thinking “talaga bang readers lahat ang mga nandito or they are just curious to see the ship?” sobra kasi talaga ang dami ng tao, from the gate of the pier to the docking station ang pila. i guess the media played a big part in attracting those people. unlike its previous visits, medyo hyped sa ngayon because it was featured in the daily papers pati sa mga sikat na tv magazine shows.

yep, the ship was in Pier 13, in Manila, sa likod po ng Manila Hotel. could it be that the floating bookstore you’re referring to which docked in cavite or batangas was also doulos? kasi itong doulos, pumunta rin ng batangas, pati bacolod.

hehehe i guess hindi naman sa kuripot ang mga publishers. poor sila hehehe. hindi kaya ng bulsa nilang mag-invest nang ganun-ganun na lang sa mga printing machines. as regards paper stock, may mga nakikita na rin akong books dito sa atin na hindi na newsprint, matte paper. yung glossy, hindi masyado patok kasi glaring sa mata. i’ve also seen textbooks na naka-full color na, lalo na sa science and it’s locally published. most of the publishers here do not have machines na magha-hardbound. i guess they can’t afford to have one. karaniwan, the publishers source out. sa iba nagpapa-hardboud, pero mahal din ang bayad.

ako… maraming reasons kung bakit nandun…
nice naman ng pictures!!!

hehehe tita helen, huhulaan ko ba kung bakit ka andun? yeah, nice nga yung last piktyur. palagay ko may future sa photography yung fwend ko na yun hehehe.

nung nakita ko yung first pic, kala ko linya para sa Wowowee, heheh…
grabe pala ang fans ng ship na yan. I’ve been inside before, when it docked in Cebu, but we didn’t really find some good books, I guess they were all taken coz it was the last day na yata.
so, were u able to buy some books ba?

i tagged you with a meme pala… check out my site.

ang daming tao ahhh akala koh mag auaudition sa starstruck hehe… ang ganda nman ng kuha sa last pic.

“Last Sunday, my kids friends and I joined thousands of other people who patiently waited in line for many hours for our turn to come on board this ship.”
Bey, i didn’t know you already have kids. =) yeah, been there before w/ carey and there wasn’t much inside. their kid’s books were great and cheap though, i think we bought some for our pamangkins.

CAREY, puro kid’s books lang ang loot namin hehehe. thanks for tagging me. i’ll post mine later.

LHADYMITCH, yeah, sooobrang dami ng tao talaga. it took us two hours to get on board. sorry about the first two pictures. i was puzzled why they’re not as clear as the third one. baka may problem sa html code nila. i’ll try to fix them later.

DAISY, hehehe sorry for that. dalaga pa po talaga ako at wala pang mga anak hehehehe. wala na kami masyado inabutan kaya puro kid’s books na lang nabili namin.

asan na ang mga nabili mong books?

para ngang pila sa noontime show ah.

Sinabi mo pa ATE BETH, parang pila sa wowowee at eat bulaga hehehe. di ko na nakunan ng picture ang mga books. nasa mga bata agad eh. salamat po sa pagdalaw.

Wow - Ate Bea - NAKS! Buti ka pa nakita mo ang ship na ito at nakatungtong ka pa!

I saw this advertised on TFC and I was excited but I didn’t know that its popularity will get this much attention!

Good for you fellow pinoys!! Literada yata ng marami ang mga pinoy diba?! Mahilig mag-basa.. songhits, komiks, nobela, biblia at kung ano ano pa.

Naalala ko nung elementary ako, the St. Paul Sisters would come by our school with a Ford Fiera full of religious books. Nandiyan na yung life story ni Pope John Paul in komiks version, Lives of Saints, and other little inspirational things. I used to always get excited about that. I can just imagine the excitement of the people getting on this historical ship, not only to say ‘I was in it!’ but purchase books at reasonable prices as well.

Kainggit ka ate Bea!!

CHUVA!!!!!! ikaw po ba talaga yan? hehehehe. uy, salamat sa pagdalaw dito sa abang bahay ko. hindi ko nga ma-update at busy ang byuti ko tapos mahirap magnakaw ng linya hahahaha. Paulinian ka ba, Chuva? Hmn, I’ve read that book, yung Lives of Saints. Meron ng CD version niyan hehehe. Halos wala na rin kaming inabutang maraming books kasi nakuha na yung magaganda ng mga nauna sa amin. Kung tutuusin kasi, last day na yata yun nung nakapunta kami dun.

Di ko lang naabutan ang Doulos sometime a decade ago…nasa Subic naka-dock, napuntahan ng parents at siblings ko while ako yata nasa bowling house? I could have went there kasi I like books…a way to learn fast…kung andun ako baka ang dami kong nabiling puzzles and self-help books…

mahilig ka pala sa self-help books, c5. ako rin mahilig sa books kahit nung bata pa ako, kahit walang mabiling books sa town namin. i would frequent the house of my teachers in elementary so i could read their books =).
