Big Bad Wolf Books 2025 at Filinvest: Must-See Deals and Family Fun

Yesterday, our family had the chance to attend the VIP opening of the Big Bad Wolf Book Sale at the Filinvest Tent in Alabang. Luckily, my son didn’t have classes, so he happily came along with me. Since he’s a certified book lover, this kind of event is like a theme park made of books for him—his eyes lit up the moment we stepped inside!

A Book Lover’s Wonderland

Walking into the Filinvest Tent felt magical. Imagine being surrounded by over two million books of every genre you can think of—from novels and self-help books to cookbooks, devotionals, and even unique finds like tarot guides. As a mom, I love seeing my son’s excitement over discovering new titles—it’s such a refreshing change from gadgets and screens.

We started browsing together, and of course, he had a growing pile of books in his arms within minutes. Good thing the prices are incredibly budget-friendly compared to the regular bookstore!

Here are some of the standout deals we spotted:

• The Happy Ever After Playlist by Abby Jimenez – from ₱800 down to ₱340
• Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing by Matthew Perry – from ₱1,500 down to ₱500
• Quiet Times with God Devotional by Joyce Meyer – from ₱1,000 down to ₱440

With prices like these, it’s hard not to go over budget!

Highlights from the VIP Opening

The VIP Day kicked off with a ribbon-cutting ceremony, joined by leaders from Big Bad Wolf Books, Filinvest representatives, and even the Ambassador of Malaysia. The atmosphere was festive—book lovers, media friends, and guests were buzzing with excitement as they got first dibs on the millions of titles available.

Ley Almeda, the Country Head of Big Bad Wolf Books Philippines, shared that the goal of the event is to help more Filipino families discover the joy of reading. As a mom, I couldn’t agree more—reading is truly one of the best gifts we can give our kids.

Exciting Promos and Raffle Prizes

What makes this year’s event even more exciting are the raffle prizes up for grabs:

• Minor Prize: IKEA bookshelf + 100 books
• Major Prize: An iPad
• Grand Prize: A 3-day getaway for two with hotel stay

For every ₱5,000 single-receipt purchase, you get a raffle entry. It’s like shopping for books with a bonus chance to win big!
