Peryang Adarna: Adarna House Celebrates 35th Anniversary
June 13, 2015
Adarna books have been part of my life since childhood. I have used them as tools for prelection when teaching my preschool students. I'm still collecting different titles because I never get tired of reading them most especially now that I'm a mom. Reading Adarna books with my children is a fun learning experience for all of us.
These books are part of my Adarna Book Collection. |

On the 24th of May 2015, Adarna House celebrated its 35th anniversary through the event, "Peryang Adarna" at Trinoma Activity Center, Quezon City. Families were invited to join the whole day carnival-themed event. Peryang Adarna featured game and activity booths with Filipino games like Piko, Tirador, and Tumbang Preso.

There was a short program hosted by celebrity mom, Camille Prats, at 3:00 PM. Musical numbers by Pundaquit Virtuosi headed by Julliard-trained, Coke Bolipata, dance performance by Movement Studio, and story-telling session by Luisito "Kuya Bodjie" Pascua and Earle Figuracion entertained the families.
New books were also launched to add to Adarna House's over 500 titles. There was book signing by writers and illustrators after the program.
Adarna Digital, Adarna House's recently developed apps based on its popular books for a new generation of Filipinos globally was presented. It was inevitable that literature started to evolve online.
Playing and joining fun activities were more fun with my family! Kudos to Adarna House for organizing Peryang Adarna! |
Entrance was free of charge. Each accompanied child presented any Adarna published book at the ticket booth and was given a ticket.
The child participant that visited and finished the activities of all booths had the chance to join the raffle. The stamped ticket served as the raffle coupon.

My family enjoyed Peryang Adarna. It was memorable for me because it was the first time that Bunso joined me in a blogger event. It was revealed that his attention span increased as he was able to stand a crowded place and join other kids in games and fun activities.
Thanks, Adarna House, for organizing Peryang Adarna! Happy 35th anniversary and more to come!
