The following is a press release from Big Bad Wolf Books.
MANILA, Philippines – Big Bad Wolf Books, renowned as the world’s biggest book sale event, is set to make history this November with its first-ever school-based sale in the Greenhills area.
From November 8 to 10, 2024, Xavier School will transform into a book lover’s haven, offering over two million books at unbelievable prices to students, families, and the local community. This special collaboration is part of Xavier School’s Literacy Month celebration, underscoring its commitment to education and community engagement.
The Big Bad Wolf Books Xavier School Edition will be open November 8 to 10 from 7 am to 9 pm, allowing ample time for visitors to explore a vast selection of books, including children’s titles, young adult fiction, non-fiction, and rare collectibles.
This event marks a major milestone for Big Bad Wolf Books, as it is the first time the sale is hosted at a school, providing an enriching and accessible experience.
The event is spearheaded by Xavier School Batch 2000 alumni — Daniel Perez, Andrew Tan, and Emmerson Co — in close partnership with Big Bad Wolf Books Philippines managing partner Carol Chuaying and project director Ley Almeda. The collaboration between Big Bad Wolf Books founder Andrew Yap and the Xavier School Alumni Association has been pivotal in bringing this unique project to life.
“We are excited to bring Big Bad Wolf Book to Xavier School, an institution that shares our passion for education and literacy. Working with the Xavier School community and their dedicated alumni has been an inspiring journey, and this partnership reflects our shared mission of making books more accessible and fostering a love for reading,” said Yap.
The partnership was formally established through an agreement signed by Xavier Alumni Association President Dan Balanzat , symbolizing a strong alliance between the two entities. As part of this collaboration, a portion of the proceeds from the sale will go toward Xavier School’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives and scholarships, further supporting the school’s mission to give back to the community.
Coinciding with Xavier School’s Literacy Month, the event offers the perfect opportunity for students, families, and the local community to immerse themselves in a vast selection of books. True to its mission of “Changing the World One Book at a Time,” Big Bad Wolf Books continues to inspire readers and promote literacy, and this event at Xavier School is a testament to that vision.
The Xavier School Alumni, under the leadership of Batch 2000, have worked diligently to bring this one-of-a-kind event to Greenhills. Perez, Tan, and Co have played a key role in coordinating efforts between Big Bad Wolf Books and the school, ensuring that the Xavier community benefits from affordable books while also supporting the school’s philanthropic programs.
“We are thrilled about this collaboration with Big Bad Wolf Books. It’s not just about hosting a book sale — it’s about promoting literacy, nurturing a love for reading, and supporting the educational journey of both current and future Xavierians. This event truly reflects the values of our community,” shared Perez.
The Xavier School Big Bad Wolf Books Edition is open to the public from 7 am to 9 pm daily. Attendees can look forward to an unforgettable experience, with an incredible range of books on offer and a portion of the proceeds benefiting Xavier School’s CSR programs and scholarships.
