World’s biggest book sale comes to Cebu

-

The world’s biggest, baddest book sale arrives in Cebu to captivate Cebuano book lovers from July 13– 23 at the IEC Convention Center.

“In an aim to advocate English literacy, we are bringing a variety of books to Cebu across diverse genres including children’s books, literature, non-fiction, business books, biographie­s, cookbooks and more,” said Miguel Mercado, Head of Marketing of Big Bad Wolf Philippine­s.

“Physical books are here to stay as they stimulate deep reading and engage readers more. We are really happy to bring the Big Bad Wolf Book Sale to Cebu as we want to make affordable books available to all,” Mercado added.

Part of the proceeds from the Big Bad Wolf Book Sale will benefit programs by Gawad Kalinga (GK).

“Gawad Kalinga believes in empowermen­t. Books and reading allow us to reach our potentials. The presence of Big Bad Wolf gives all communitie­s - not just GK's, not just Cebu's everywhere in the Visayas the opportunit­ies we otherwise would not have.

We would like to thank Big Bad Wolf for coming to Cebu and for making GK their partner,” shares Toby Florendo, Cebu Provincial Head of Gawad Kalinga.

The event is going to be a 24 hour non-stop browsing amongst 1 million brand new English books, all at 60 percent - 80 percent off regular prices.

Selected invitees will have a chance to attend a special preview of the book sale on July 12, from 10 a.m. – 11 p.m. a day before the sale opens to the public. Eager readers can get their hands on these exclusive preview passes through Big Bad Wolf’s social media pages.
