The app’s “Free to Read” collection offers select titles at no cost.Precious Pages Corp. president Segundo Matias Jr. said the app was inspired by his goal of making reading more accessible to Filipinos who may not have the means to buy books or access reading materials.“Alam naman natin ‘yung crisis na marami sa mga Filipino ang hindi nakakapagbasa. Minsan nakakalungkot isipin na may mga taong hindi nakakabili ng books o walang access sa mga reading materials. ‘Yun ‘yung ginagawan ko ng paraan sa publishing, na sana ‘yung mga walang kakayahang makapagbasa, magkaroon ng pagkakataon. Kaya ‘yung mga ganitong klaseng initiative, tulad ng app na libre, malaking bagay,” Matias said.He said CAT-HA also aims to offer a curated reading experience, with titles selected for their quality and appeal.“Kapag nakapagbasa ka na rito, you expect na compelling ‘yung mga novels at maayos ‘yung grammar,” he said.Matias said he hopes to expand CAT-HA’s selection in the coming years to include more genres and formats, including comics and children’s books.“Ang objective namin, sana magkaroon ng app na sari-saring genre na rin ang mababasa ninyo. In the coming months and years, sana pati comics, children&#x27;s books, at lahat na. We tried to fit in everything here, na kapag binuksan mo ‘yung CAT-HA, nandun na,” he said.CAT-HA is available on the Google Play Store, Apple App Store and Huawei AppGallery.
