Floating Bookstore in Subic Bay

 The ship MV Logos Hope will be in Subic Bay on the 16 th of March complete with it's floating book fair. It is open to the public and a great place to take the family. This ship replaces the MV Doulos which last visited Subic in early 2008. MV Logos is twice the size of the previous ship.

 

The MV Logos is operated by the German charitable Christian organization GBA Ships. Their stock of books is made up of 7000 titles, most of these Christian oriented as is their selections of music and posters. However cook books and other disciplines also share the shelves.

The all volunteer staff and crew is made up of 400 people from 50 different countries who stay aboard for two years. Interaction with the crew is one of the good things about the visit. They are friendly and open to questions from children and adults.

It arrives from a two week Manila stay and will be in Subic for two weeks. There is a P20 peso entrance fee.

    They don't visit Mindanao anymore...
    August 1991: The Abu Sayyaf bombed M/V Doulos, a Christian missionary ship-cum-floating bookstore, which was at that time docked at the Zamboanga City port.
