Big Bad Wolf Books Manila 2026 officially opened last November 5, 2026 on the fifth floor of Park Triangle Mall in Bonifacio Global City (BGC), Taguig, welcoming Filipino readers to a selection of international bestsellers, signed collectible editions, and books for readers of all ages.
Big Bad Wolf Books marked the launch with a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by Co-Founder Jacqueline Ng; His Excellency Dato’ Abdul Malik Melvin Castelino, Ambassador of Malaysia to the Republic of the Philippines; and local partners Tim Yap and Charmaine Palermo. Among the distinguished guests who also joined the ceremony were Her Excellency Sarah Hulton OBE, British Ambassador to the Philippines and Palau; Department of Education Secretary Hon. Sonny Angara; and Taguig City Mayor Hon. Lani Cayetano. Also present were Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines (IPOPHL) Director General Atty. Teodoro C. Pascua and Atty. Emerson G. Cuyo, CESO III, Director IV of the Bureau of Copyright and Related Rights. Joining them were Nur Farahliza Putri Naaim Yazid, Counsellor at the Embassy of Malaysia in Manila; Ayala Land Executive Director Mariana Beatriz Zobel de Ayal; and Fort Bonifacio Development Corporation Chief Operating Officer Enrique B. Manuel Jr. and Chief Finance Officer Ma. Lourdes R. Reyes, Chief Finance Officer. “It reminds me that sometimes, all it takes is one book to spark a lifelong love of reading. That is what Big Bad Wolf Books has always been about: making books more affordable and accessible, regardless of age, background, or budget,” said Big Bad Wolf Books Co-Founder Jacqueline Ng. Returning to Metro Manila with its campaign message “There’s a Book For Every Kind of You”, Big Bad Wolf Books brings together contemporary fiction, children’s literature, educational titles, and collectible editions in one location, making it easier for Filipino readers to discover books for their personal libraries or their Christmas gift lists. According to organizers, approximately 75% of the selection consists of new titles.

“Having welcomed Big Bad Wolf Books to the Philippines on previous occasions, I am pleased to see this Malaysian initiative return with its commitment to making reading more accessible. The friendship between Malaysia and the Philippines grows through meaningful connections between our people, including the stories and ideas we share. I hope this sale encourages more people to discover a book that sparks their curiosity, supports their learning, or inspires them to see new possibilities,” said Ambassador Castelino. “This project is actually very much aligned with the national advocacy and also our local advocacy under our Taguig READS Movement. Just imagine the number of students we can reach and the number of lives we can really transform and touch through promoting reading and comprehension,” said Mayor Cayetano. The sale features a selection from London’s Goldsboro Books, giving Filipino readers and collectors the opportunity to explore distinctive editions locally. The Goldsboro selection includes signed copies and collectible editions, with selected books featuring individual numbering, sprayed edges, and other distinctive design details. Features vary by edition. Harry Potter fans can look for selected signed copies of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. These form part of the wider Harry Potter selection with featured copies subject to availability.
