My friend and I went to Precious Pages Corporation Main Office at #83 Sgt. E. Rivera (along C-3 Road), Quezon City. PHR will be having a Summer Writing Workshop scheduled on May 11, 12 and 13. Prior to the workshop they are holding a screening for interested participants.
We had a difficult time looking for the place. From V. Mapa, Manila we took a jeepney going to Quezon Avenue. We take off at Jollibee Quezon Avenue and took another jeepney going to Sgt. E. Rivera. We made a mistake of not looking closely at the address numbers. This lead us to Sgt. E. Rivera St. corner A. Bonifacio. We walked by going back and looking at the address numbers. Wheew!
Our screening started by having to answer a personal information sheet. Then, we were given a short exam. The examination part was something both of us were not prepared for. However, is a great experience. It was my first time to get in a publications house and see tons of books being prepared for final binding, packing and distribution. I could still remember the smell of ink.
I hope my friend and I will qualify to attend the workshop. Miss Jane Constantino told us she will just inform us thru our contact numbers.
For interested participants deadline of screening is on April 25, 2012.

Were you able to attend? I was there kasi. Yours might be one of the faces I saw there, hindi lang ako aware. Or you could be the one sitting next to me. haha
Hi, yes I was there on both days: May 11 and 12. There wasn't much time to get to know everyone. Maybe on the Christmas party when I become lucky to submit a manuscript we might see each other again.
nagkakaroon po pala ng workshop ang phr,, hays sana nmn malaman ko na nextime kasi , im very interested to this one..
Hi! Attending the workshop served me well. I learned many things. Though the attendance is not an assurance that I'll make it (to being a writer). Practice is the key.
'Hope all you guys who are interested to attend will make it next year. :)
Sayang, gusto ko rin sanang magpunta sa workshop na ito.
Sana makasulat ka ng magandang libro ^__^
puwede bang magtanong? Nasabi ba sa inyo kung ano ang required na line spacing kapag magsusulat ka ng novel? Doon kasi ako hindi sigurado.
Thanks for sharing the experiences sa mga tulad kong na-miss ito. Sana next year makapunta ako.
May bayad po ba yung Workshop?
Interested po kasi ako sa mga Workshop related sa Creative Writing...
Sana next year ma-inform ako... ^_^
@Gina Sy
Thank you. Sana nga ay makapagpa-approve ako ng manuscript :)
Ang line spacing ay double-spaced.
Sana maka-attend ka na sa next workshop :)
@KItz Windsor

ayan po ang number ko, sobrang interesado po ako sa workshop na ito. sana po maupdate niyo po ako sa workshop this year. :)) I'll really appreciate your help ^__^ thanks
No. You don't need to attend the work shop first prior to MS submission. You could send it anytime you want. Be sure to read the requirements, though.
@Zhanta, usually the workshop is held on the first week of May so PHR will post details of it on their FB page by April. https://www.facebook.com/preciouspages
I was also there. Kaso may sakit ako. Buti na lang free ko nakuha yung slot. Hehehe. Sayang din yung 400 pesos. Hahaha. Anyway, kamusta naman guys? May approved MS na po ba kayo? Kayo pala ang mga kasabayan kong batch. Hope you could add me in my facebook account. Search niyo lang: Aivan Reigh Vivero. :) God bless us all.
Screening then they will give you a message na pumasa ka for workshop or what? confused lang.
Yes screening muna...answer muna ng personal info sheet tapos may exam...then mga a few weeks before the workshop may text message na ise-send kung qualified to attend the workshop.
