The New Now in Education

Schools in the Philippines are facing an unprecedented challenge. Closures due to the COVID-19 pandemic have disrupted the traditional way of learning in classrooms. A vaccine is still months away at best and social distancing measures remain the primary means of slowing the spread of the virus and protecting the public. Thus, periodic and sustained lockdowns and quarantines will continue in some form for the foreseeable future. In this scenario, schools are unlikely to be allowed to physically reopen until August or September and, even then, will be subject to strict health and safety  protocols to mitigate the risks of another viral outbreak within the school and the surrounding community.

Find out in our video how Vibal can help your school can adapt to the New Now in education. Read our letter to schools.

K-12 and higher ed

We publish textbooks, workbooks, and supplementary materials covering the complete K-12 curriculum in print and digital formats. Our print textbooks and supplementary materials are integrated with LearnLive AR, an augmented reality technology to enhance users’ learning through experiential walkthroughs that integrate graphics, sounds, and sensory experiences.

Used with Vibal textbooks and a smartphone or tablet, students can experience a virtual layer of information superimposed on top of their textbook pages—that’s experiential learning that can effectively engage today’s learners.

K-12 Basic Education

Our K-12 textbooks are solidly anchored on the three pillars of K to 12: letting a child construct his or her own knowledge (constructivism), guiding each child in learning how to learn (metacognition), and providing for differentiated instruction and multiple intelligences.

Higher Education

Our college textbooks adhere to the  revised General Education Curriculum (GEC). Written by distinguished authors, each textbook is carefully designed to match both national and international standards through the comprehensive coverage of relevant theories and applications. 

LearnLive AR

LearnLive AR app uses augmented reality (AR) technology to enhance learning with experiential  walkthroughs that integrate graphics, sounds, and sensory experiences. Now with Vibal textbooks and a smartphone or tablet, students can experience engaging AR-enabled learning.

trade and reference books

Aside from textbooks, Vibal specializes in publishing children's books, art books, and reference books for readers of various ages and inclination. We are passionate about Philippine art, history, and culture and this is reflected in the scope and breadth of our publishing program. Our books are made with care and love. We hope that readers will use them as references through the years. 

Chikiting Books is Vibal's children's book imprint. We publish books for children from ages three to twelve years old.

Words and vivid illustrations come together to bring to life the very best in storytelling. These books help children address real life questions, concerns, and values in a form with which they can easily identify. Young readers can easily follow the stories in English and Filipino and develop their language skills, fostering a love of reading that will last a lifetime.

Our imprints include Filipiniana Clasica, which keeps culturally and educationally significant books continuously in print with lavishly illustrated and expanded new editions; Academica Filipina, an interdisciplinary series that pushes the boundaries of scholarly publishing with smart, literate, and thought-provoking works exploring the Philippine past, present, and future; Arte Filipino, which features the lives and artistry of Filipino artists from an art historical perspective;  Fifty Shades of Philippine Art, a series of affordable and concise art books; and Voyager, book voyages into uncharted territories, exploring intriguing topics that often elude academic discussion.

Vibal Foundation also aims to provide free and open knowledge for Filipinos through its three landmark project—WikiPilipinas, Filipiniana.net and e-Turo. Knowledge and ideas are what give us the power to transform ourselves and our communities. Vibal Foundation is built on the idea of free and open knowledge as an instrument of change.
