This was the key message to participants of the 10th Inquirer Read-Along Festival, which kicked off Saturday with the first-ever online read-along session, featuring TV host and Read-along ambassador Kim Atienza and professional storyteller Ann Abacan. Philippine Daily Inquirer (PDI) associate publisher Juliet Labog-Javellana opened the read-along program, the first since the start of the pandemic, with a message of hope. Launched in 2007, the Inquirer read-along is a corporate social responsibility project of the company which aims to promote love of reading among children. ADVERTISEMENTAbacan, also a nutritionist-dietician, said gardening could help families have food security during difficult times like the pandemic. Students from J. Zamora Elementary School, La Paz Elementary School, Victorious Homeschool, St. Anthony Makati Montessori, La Paz Elementary School, La Concordia College, School of Saint Anthony and Renato R. Lopez Elementary School joined the first day of the festival.
