National Bible Month 2019 – The Bible: Real Talk

Abstract

Every year, the nation commemorates and celebrates the importance of the Bible in nation building. Proclamation No. 124 of President Rodrigo Roa Duterte, declared the whole month of January of every year as National Bible Month. This annual event started in 1982 after former President Ferdinand E. Marcos signed Presidential Proclamation No. 2242 declaring a nationwide Bible celebration. President Marcos originally declared the first Sunday of Advent and the last week of November every year as National Bible Sunday and National Bible Week (NBW). But through the years, with the transition of our Presidents it was transferred, made official and reinforced during the month of January every year.
