"A book is like a garden carried in the pocket,goes an old saying,”remarked Dr.Joefe B.Santarita,dean of the Asian Center of the University of the Philippines Diliman,at the unveiling ceremony of the China Book Center at the UP Asian Center.“Just like a garden,there are many amazing things and ideas waiting to be discovered in the book,and how interesting things are found in the garden of knowledge depends on the reader.The generous donation of 1,000 titles of books by China International Publishing Group to the UP Asian Center has transformed the China Book Center into the garden of gardens waiting for students,scholars,and observers to utilize its resources.”
