SYDNEY 16 September 2020 — In celebration of the Buwan ng Wika 2020, and in support of Sentro Rizal’s promotion of Philippine culture through language, the Philippine Consulate General–Sentro Rizal (SR) Sydney held a “Bigkas Serye” Book Reading Series Project.

Three books/stories, entitled Ayoko Po Sana, Tagu-Taguan and Ang Pambihirang Buhok ni Racquel were featured by the Consulate and posted on its Facebook and Sentro Rizal Pages on 07, 14, 24 August 2020, respectively.
