MANILA, Philippines — The vandalism of two independent Philippine bookstores is an attack on institutions of knowledge that also harm the country’s diplomatic values, the National Book Development Board said.

 

The NBDB, in a statement, expressed concern about the vandalism of Popular Bookstore and Solidaridad. “We along with our friends and partners in the book publishing condemn in the strongest terms these vicious acts,” they added.

 

“We believe this is an attack on institutions of knowledge and harmful to the democratic values that we, along with the rest of the government, are bound by duty to protect,” the board added.
