From November 13-24, 2025, The Big Bad Wolf Books will make its much-anticipated return to Davao and collaborate with the locals at The Tent, Azuela Cove. This event is more than simply a book sale; it’s a sincere call to gather to read, share, and use the power of tales to rebuild.

 

Jacqueline Ng, Co-Founder of Big Bad Wolf Books

 

“We are deeply grateful to be back in Davao, especially at a time when community’s strength and unity shine so brightly, “said Jacqueline Ng, Co-Founder of the Big Bad Wolf Books.  “Books have 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 be transformed into a heaven of books and belongings, filled with titles across every genre imaginable, all at up to 95% off. Visitors can expect to discover new reads, reconnect with fellow book lovers, and take part in outreach efforts that bring books and hope to those who need them most.

 

To make the event more accessible, free admission will be open to everyone, and a complimentary shuttle service supported by the local government of Davao City will be available on opening day, November 13, to bring readers straight to The Tent at Azuela Cove. Shuttle route details will be announced soon on Big Bad Wolf Books’ social media page.

Did you know that when the ber-months arrive, Filipinos automatically switch flip and start celebrating Christmas feels? Yes, you read it right. It’s a four-month-long or possibly five-month celebration in the Philippines.

 

It starts with the sweet scent of bibingka and puto bumbong warming the air of Simbang Gabi. It’s the streets glowing with vibrant lights, homes overflowing with Christmas cheer, and food becoming the non-negotiable, heartwarming center of every celebration. This is when our loved ones come home, OFWs, students, and workers returning, making every shared meal into a cherished, unforgettable family moment.

 

With the long list of expenses for gifts, gatherings, and decorations, Filipinos have mastered the art of the sulit celebration: maximum joy, minimum gastos. The Filipino Christmas has always been defined by duskarte (resourcefulness) and creativity: planning early, perfecting potlucks, and finding smart ways to make the season lighter on the wallet but just as full of joy. Because for us, the magic isn’t in how grand the feast is, but in how full the table feels with laughter, love, and the people who matter most.
