Big Bad Wolf Books marked the opening with a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by Co-Founder Jacqueline Ng, Guest of Honor 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; Hon. Sonny Angara, Secretary of the Department of Education; and Hon. Lani Cayetano, Mayor of Taguig City.
Also present were Atty. Teodoro C. Pascua, Director General of the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines; and Atty. Emerson G. Cuyo, CESO III, Director IV of the Bureau of Copyright and Related Rights of the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines.
Joining them were Ms. Nur Farahliza Putri Naaim Yazid, Counsellor at the Embassy of Malaysia in Manila; Ms. Mariana Beatriz Zobel de Ayala, Executive Director of Ayala Land; Mr. Enrique B. Manuel Jr., Chief Operating Officer of Fort Bonifacio Development Corporation; and Ms. Ma. Lourdes R. Reyes, Chief Finance Officer of Fort Bonifacio Development Corporation.
“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 Jacqueline Ng, Co-Founder of Big Bad Wolf Books.
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. The selection gives Filipino readers opportunities to discover books for their personal libraries and 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 His Excellency Dato’ Abdul Malik Melvin 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 Hon. Lani Cayetano, Mayor of Taguig City.
