CLARIFICATION: These are awards organized by the National Book Development Board, and is only for the Philippines. As their website states: "The National Book Development Board is the government agency mandated to develop and support the Philippine book publishing industry. Created by RA 8047 or the Book Publishing Industry Development Act in 1995."
The National Book Awards, on the other hand, has been around since 1950 and is a recognized world-wide award.
The two are separate awards, awarded by a different governing body and should not be confused.
This information is for clarification purposes only.
