Mindanao—in particular, Zamboanga City—was the venue chosen in June 2013 by National Commission for Culture and the Arts for the 2014 Writers’ Festival. Recent disturbances (Read: Zamboanga siege) forced a relocation of the annual literary festival for the National Arts Month to Subic, Zambales.
Top writers will once again gather in the country’s biggest literary festival, “Taboan,” at the Subic Freeport Zone on Feb. 24-26 in line with the National Arts Month (NAM) organized by the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA).
Organizers are marking the anniversary with a year-long celebration and efforts to introduce new audiences to its longlisted, shortlisted and winning authors.
