Mindanao Readers Come Together: Big Bad Wolf Books Visits Davao to Honor Community, Education, and Hope | #BenchPaylaBlog

 


Mindanao, Philippines (October 28, 2025) – Big Bad Wolf Books is making its highly anticipated return to Davao, teaming up with the community from November 13 to 24, 2025, at The Tent, Azuela Cove. More than just a book sale, this event is a warm invitation to gather, read, share, and rebuild through the magic of stories.

 

Jacqueline Ng, Co-Founder of Big Bad Wolf Books

“We are deeply grateful to be back in Davao, especially at a time when the community’s strength and unity shine so brightly,” said Jacqueline Ng, Co-Founder of Big Bad Wolf Books. “Books have the power to bring comfort and hope to remind us that, even in the hardest chapters, there are always new stories waiting to begin. Through this event, we want to stand with Davaoeños and continue spreading the joy of reading, one book at a time.”

 

For 12 days, the venue will become a paradise for book enthusiasts, packed with titles from every genre imaginable—all at discounts of up to 95%. Visitors can explore new reads, connect with fellow book lovers, and join outreach efforts to share books and hope with those in need.

 

To make the event more accessible, everyone will enjoy free admission, and a complimentary shuttle service, sponsored by the local government of Davao City, will be available on the opening day, November 13. The shuttle will take readers directly to The Tent at Azuela Cove, with route details to be shared soon on Big Bad Wolf Books' social media pages.

 


Exclusive Offers for Davao Readers



Big Bad Wolf Books is also giving Davaoeños an exciting head start with its Pre-Selling Promo, running ahead of the official sale. Starting October 27, readers can reserve select titles before the doors even open by sending a direct message to Big Bad Wolf Books’ official Facebook page. Once confirmed, purchases can be settled via Good Small Sheep Inc.’s bank account and picked up from November 13 to 16 at the Customer Service Area in Azuela Cove. Each reservation will be verified on-site, ensuring a smooth and secure claiming process for all participants.

 

With limited stock for each featured title, the Pre-Selling Promo lets book lovers grab highly anticipated reads early on a first-come, first-served basis. This special deal, running only until November 12, aims to make reading more accessible while rewarding loyal fans eager to dive into their next great story.

 

To further support Davao’s learning community, Big Bad Wolf Books is rolling out special rebates for schools, teachers, and students. Learning institutions such as schools, libraries, and universities can enjoy a 10% discount on purchases of ₱30,000 or more. Teachers and students can also get 5% off with no minimum spend by simply presenting a valid school and faculty ID or wearing their uniform at the cashier.

 

These community-focused discounts aim to support education and foster a love for learning for people of all ages. By offering special rates to both students and educators, Big Bad Wolf Books emphasizes its commitment to making knowledge accessible, especially for those who inspire and shape future generations every day.

 

Adding to these exciting offers, Big Bad Wolf Books is launching the Campus Challenge: Read It to Win It. Schools within Davao City are invited to join, with parents or students registering as Big Bad Wolf Books members and indicating their school affiliation upon checkout, which will be verified with a valid school ID. Every purchase with a minimum spend of ₱2,000 in a single receipt counts as one valid entry for the school. A daily leaderboard on Instagram Stories will highlight the top three schools leading in sales and footfall, encouraging friendly competition and repeat visits. The top-performing schools will receive BBW book prizes under three tiers: 1st Place “Books for Library” Grant (1,500 books), 2nd Place “Reading Corner” Bundle (1,000 books), and 3rd Place Teacher Voucher Packs (500 books). Each winning school will also be encouraged to share its rewards with a chosen partner beneficiary, such as a public school, community library, or reading center.

 

Sharing Stories of Hope and Inspiration with New Titles



As Davao moves forward on its journey of healing, Big Bad Wolf Books supports the community by offering stories that bring comfort, inspiration, and a reminder that hope is always within reach. From festive Christmas specials perfect for the holidays and timeless bestsellers for adults to captivating Usborne specials for young readers, every book carries more than just a tale—it’s a part of the shared path toward renewal, reflection, and rebuilding as one community.
