Readers of Precious Hearts Romances usually only know book authors by their pseudonyms or pen names. Most of the time, fans of a certain book series don't even know what their favorite author looks like. That is, until they attend a Grand Fans Day organized by Precious Pages Corporation, publisher of the popular Tagalog romance pocketbooks.
Recently, a lively crowd of PHR readers gathered at SM North Edsa to catch a glimpse of their favorite authors and join in celebrating Precious Pages' 25th Anniversary. The grand fans day coincided with the launching of 25 Most Precious -- a coffee table book featuring the top bestselling, most prolific, and most pioneering Tagalog romance writers of the last two and a half decades in a 160-page hardbound, premium limited edition.

The stories expound on the 25 writers' lives and the inspiring stories behind the women who have captured the hearts of millions of Filipino readers here and abroad.

For those who don't know, Precious Heart Romances is recognized as the best-selling Tagalog romance pocketbook brand known for some of the best love stories of all time. The novels reinforce traditional values of commitment and a happy ending. For many, the books provide an escape to live out adventures and the fantasy of falling in love with Mr. Right.
What made the grand fans days more exciting were performances by PETA Theater artists who acted out scenes from 25 popular PHR novels. One could immediately sense which ones are crowd favorites because fans started shrieking in delight once they recognized the characters and story lines. It was good vibes all around as everyone had a good laugh at the very entertaining skits on stage.
