PRESS RELEASE

SoLine Publishing joins Manila International Book Fair

Cebu-based company, SoLine Publishing Company Inc. will be joining the

Manila International Book Fair (MIBF) happening on September 13-17,
2017 at the SMX Convention Center, Mall of Asia Complex in Pasay City.
This is the first time for the up-and-coming publishing company to join the MIBF, the
countrys biggest and longest-running book fair.
Now on its 38th year, it showcases the largest and most varied collection of literature for
leisure and academic reading. Fiction bestsellers, textbooks, graphic novels, and even
educational materials are all under one roof. As the largest book event in the
Philippines, the MIBF has became a go-to venue for this years most awaited book
launches and signings, dialogues with readers, contests, and other literary events.
SoLine Publishing business unit manager Nikki Oguis says the decision to join the MIBF
was inspired by the growing interest and demand outside of Cebu on the textbooks,
science and technology education solutions and other related materials and publications
distributed and produced by the company. In joining the MIBF, SoLine Publishing
expands its reach and opens its doors to establish networks and linkages with
international book sellers and distributors.
It makes perfect business sense to expand our reach to areas such as Manila, which has
a bigger market being the countrys capital. Earlier this year, we have expanded to other
key cities and towns in the Visayas and Mindanao regions to further strengthen our
foothold in these locations, says Oguis.
Opening the company to other major markets such as Metro Manila is also a way of
communicating the companys commitment of producing high-quality, well-thought and
well-written publications. SoLine Publishing also endeavors to partner with respected
and renowned organizations.
We are proud to be a publishing company that puts premium on quality over quantity.
We dont just produce books or magazines for the sake of publishing them. We are
proud to be a Filipino company based in Cebu committed to positively contribute to the
countrys publishing industry, says Oguis.
Phialo Trading Corp. (Phialo), the sister company of SoLine Publishing, will also
participate in the MIBF. Phialo distributes coffee table books and paperbacks on Cebus
culture, heritage and history, among others.
SoLine Publishing will be in Booth No. 85 while Phialo will be in Booth No.86.
