Socorro Ramos - Founder of National Bookstore

Socorro Ramos, founder of the country’s largest bookshop empire started out as a simple saleslady in a bookstore whose red-and-white plastic bags have become the name that the Filipino people know today as National Bookstore.

Now, she lives true to the company’s nature, with the documentary featuring “Bukas Aklat” mobile library project for schools who cannot afford to put up the facility for their students.

    Madam Socorro Ramos, you are an inspiration to all the Filipinos, from your humble beginnings you were able to put up a very successful business that gives opportunities to those who wants to earn for a living and for those who wants to be rich intellectually. Your Bukas Aklat project, will support the lifelong learning and the information literacy development of our country.
