Foreword
It is the aim of this Operations Manual to present to all registrants of the National Book
Development Board (NBDB) as simply and as clearly as possible the information they
will need to apply for NBDB’s registration and incentives.
Introduction
The enactment of RA No. 8047 on June 07, 1995 or the Book Publishing Industry
Development Act manifests the government’s strong recognition of the vital role of
books in the economic and social growth of our country. The law sets forth the
commitment of the national leadership, through the National Book Development
Board, to create an environment conducive to book development primarily through the
formulation and implementation of a National Book Policy and a corresponding
development plan.
This law serves as a signal for authors, publishers, printers, booksellers, librarians,
reading associations, academicians and government officials to focus collectively on
ways in which books could become more effective means of promoting progress and
educational advancement within the framework of our government’s national goals.
There is a need for efforts of both government and non-government agencies to
integrate not only to enhance the effectiveness of each professional discipline
involved, but also enlist greater support for book development on the national scale.
NBDB’s Mandate
Republic Act 8047 stipulates the mandate of the NBDB to:
.
Formulate, adopt, and implement the National Book Policy and the National
Book Development Plan;
.
Provide capacity-building services for the agency’s stakeholders, such as
publishers, authors, printers, and other publishing entities that need its
support;
.
Promote investments in the book industry and develop markets, both
domestic and international; and
.
Administer incentives geared towards encouraging the production of
excellent and affordable books.
ii
