The unpremeditated chance to be at the Mindanao leg of the Philippine Book Festival prior to the onset of the whole-month Divine Banquet was a rare opportunity to chat with one of the dedicated men and women behind the National Book Development Board (NBDB).

(For details, see Francesco Cirillo, THE POMODORO TECHNIQUE: THE ACCLAIMED TIME-MANAGEMENT
