History

PRECIOUS PAGES CORPORATION (PPC) is the home of the Philippines’ best love stories of all time, carrying the titles of Precious Hearts Romances.

Founded in 1992 by visionary storytellers Segundo Matias and Richard Reynante, PPC became the number one Tagalog romance pocketbook publisher in the country with a stable of writers led by the premiere romance diva, Martha Cecilia. Continuing its mission to empower readers with entertaining and educational materials, PPC diversified into other imprints.

To encourage online readers to switch back to books, PPC created Life Is Beautiful (LIB) Books , which featured popular stories from online platforms like Wattpad, Booklat, Twitter, and Facebook. Some of its bestselling novels include Maxinejiji’s He’s Into Her series, 4reuminct’s University series, Inksteady’s College series, and Josh Gonzales’ Law series, among others.

Pushing romance to the edge, PPC created the Red Room line which features erotic stories to titillate the imagination, publishing series like C.C.’s Possessive that garnered millions of views online.

Upgrading the reading experience with creative illustrations, PPC launched its manga line Black Ink , further immersing readers to the world of fiction. Likewise, the light novel imprint Manila Pop was born, as inspired by Japan Pop Lit.

Thrilling readers with volumes of horror stories, Librong Itim became a successful imprint, together with Mga Kuwento sa Dilim anthologies and Kilabot.com audiobooks.

Promoting inclusivity, PPC aimed to give light to the plight and romance of the LGBT+ community through the Pride Lit imprint.

From catering to teens and adults, the company also provided for the needs of children, parents, and educators through its sister company, Lampara Publishing House, Inc. Its premiere product Lampara Books remains true to its vision of providing progressive values from award-winning storytellers and illustrators, producing the controversial Mga Batang Poz, Ako ay May Kiki, Ako ay May Titi , and other radical stories for children.

Likewise, Lampara is also the home of Easy To Learn books , the official local licensee of Disney, Marvel, Mattel, Peppa Pig, and Cocomelon reading materials, just to name a few well-loved family-oriented brands.

Meanwhile, PPC also launched WittypediaETC , a line of paper products composed of stationeries, journals, self-help, D.I.Y., and other novelty items. Imprints under this line include Plano Ni Lord and IHeartMyself.

The Filipinos read, and Precious Pages Corporation will continue to support that with quality stories and materials, as well as talented writers, illustrators and designers, and new concepts to inspire new storytellers to envision a better nation.
