Día del Libro this April 22 at the Ayala Triangle Garden. Instituto Cervantes (cultural arm of Spanish Embassy), will hold events and books sale (up to 20% discount). Following the Spanish tradition, one book purchase will get you a free rose. Instituto will also be giving out FREE books. :)

There will also be art exhibits, book launches, and presentations from Spanish-speaking embassies. Komisyon sa Wikang Filipino will also host a debate. To close the ceremony, Manila Symphony Orchestra will have a free concert.

Best thing is entrance is free for everyone! :)

Well one can watch experience Holy Week (Semana Santa) in Pampanga. Come for the mutilation, stay for the food on Good Friday.

P.S. Since most practicing Catholics don't eat meat on Good Friday, people prepare loads of seafood and sweets instead.
