The Big Bad Wolf Visits Manila

Scored free preview passes to one of the most anticipated, and biggest book sales of the first quarter of the year -- The Big Bad Wolf. Coming for the first time here in the Philippines, the Big Bad Wolf event brings over 2 million new books at 60% up to 80% discount! I know, it's crazy. So right after work, we braved the Thursday night traffic from Makati to Pasay. And I tell you, it was worth the panic and the drive.



We arrived at the venue before 7 PM. There were already a number of people, but it was still not as crowded for its first soft opening night (thank the gods). As soon as I stepped inside the wide arena of books, my eyes went crazy. I did not know where to go first. Just grabbed the first cart I saw, and followed where my feet brought me.




The the variety of books the Big Bad Wolf brought, and at such affordable prices, was really overwhelming. Surely, kids and adults alike will enjoy the book fair with so many sections to choose from. What's even more fun was that there were available sample books for everyone to browse.




The venue was also perfectly decorated for the event. Huge signs, and accommodating crew are found in every corner of the arena. Payment system was well-organized that we did not have a hard time paying despite the long lines at the cashiers (probably, except for the guy in front of us who bought almost 13K worth of books, and paid in cash; bless you). But for easier book hunting, wear comfortable clothes and shoes because you will most definitely walk for more than two hours.



The Big Bad Wolf book sale will open tomorrow at 9 AM on February 16 and will end at 11.59 PM on February 25 at the World Trade Center in Pasay City. Price starts at P190! Happy book hunting!
