This year, the Big Bad Wolf Book Sale has obtained more books from every genre to satisfy the ever-growing number of readers and their varied tastes in books. 

Bookworms who love escaping reality through fiction reads will find ’13 Reasons Why’ by Jay Asher, ‘Elevation’ by Stephen King, ‘Percy Jackson’s Greek Gods’ by Rick Riordan and John Rocco and ‘The 13th Reality: The Complete Series’ by James Dashner amongst the titles on hand.

“The Big Bad Wolf Book Sale is not just about selling books to target readers; we hope to change the habits of society and their mindset to empower and inspire someone to want to pursue a dream. Many of us are not raised with the habit of reading, but I believe that it’s never too late to start. It is just our third visit to Manila but we have started to witness the power of books being able to transform lives. We try to bring the price of books as low as we can so that it will not be a barrier for anyone who wants to read. Last year, we created an impact by creating more readers in four different cities in the Philippines including Manila, Cebu, Davao and Pampanga,” said Jacqueline Ng, Co-Founder of the Big Bad Wolf Book Sale.

The Big Bad Wolf Book Sale believes that reading and learning should be universal and from that idea, their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) arm, Red Readerhood was born. 

At the Red Readerhood corner at the Sale, visitors are encouraged to donate books that will eventually make their way to those who need it the most. To kick-start the initiative, the Sale has pledged 1000 books to Gawad Kalinga, the Big Bad Wolf Book Sale’s longstanding partner, a Philippines-based poverty alleviation movement that aims to provide a better life for the poor by teaching them self-reliance. The collected books will be distributed by Gawad Kalinga to the people in the affected communities of the Taal volcano in Batangas and to the communities, barangays and public schools in Mindoro to provide them with psychosocial rehabilitation. 

The Big Bad Wolf Book Sale is making the safety of its visitors its priority with the concerns regarding the novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV). Health precautions will be in place throughout the duration of the Sale. Visitors and employees will be strictly screened by the medical team with infrared thermometers before entry and those with high temperatures will not be allowed to enter. Hand sanitizers will also be readily available at the entrance, customer service counter and exit. All employees will be required to regularly sanitize their hands and wear protective masks at all times. Visitors are also highly encouraged to wear protective face masks at all times. 

The Big Bad Wolf Book Sale is supported by the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines (IPOPHL), which will have a booth at the Sale to raise awareness on the importance of the copyright system, especially amongst authors, publishers and the general public. They will also be giving talks and games on copyright and inviting Filipino singers to perform to add to the festivities. The Big Bad Wolf Book Sale is also supported by ABS-CBN, their official media partner and their official payment partner, PayMaya.

Get up to 100% cashback when you use your PayMaya at The Big Bad Wolf Book Sale Pampanga

If youre a book lover and a bargain book hunter like myself, chances are you have been to the Big Bad Wolf Book Sale. Just like you, I have elbowed out of the way to be the first to get that bestseller in the rack.  I have been scouring titles (Im a fan of mystery and chic literature)  like a mad girl because the huge selection plus big discounts sale were overwhelming then. 

The last time I went to Big Bad Wolf Book Sale was last February in Manila. I got myself the hard-to-find titles at 70% discount. I had so much fun scouring for covers I forgot I have been shopping for 3 hours with 18 books in my cart.  I finally got myself 7 books (after deliberating with my partner haha)  and lined up for almost an hour to reach the cash register to pay using my PayMaya. It was convenient cashless and easy to use. You just have to scan and pay using PayMaya QR. 

Last week I got an invite from Paymaya to shop at LausGroup Event Center, San Fernando Pampanga for the most exciting and rewarding shopping experience as it renews its partnership with the Big Bad Wolf Book Sale, allowing book-lovers to enjoy the convenience and perks of using PayMaya and other cashless options to shop for their favorite books at 50%-90% off. 

Big Bad Wolf Book Sale shoppers can simply scan-to-pay for their book purchases using their PayMaya app


The list features tons of discounted books with markdowns up to 90 percent off retail prices. 

I got myself a Jodi Picoult bestseller for only P90! I have seen some of  Jennifer Weiner's and Liane Moriarty's titles for the same price. 

Now on its 2nd run this year, the Big Bad Wolf Book Sale makes its first stop in North Luzon as it brings 24-hour book shopping on heavily discounted books at the LausGroup Event Centre, San Fernando City from July 12 - 22, 2019.
