After the hint comes the official announcement.

The Big Bad Wolf Book Sale is officially opening its online edition in the Philippines for eight days.

Bibliophiles from all over the country will enjoy huge discounts on a wide selection of titles from June 30 to July 7.

“Over 60,000 book titles are waiting for you, with discounts up to 99% off, available for everyone in the Philippines, nationwide,” Big Bad Wolf Books posted on Facebook.

There will also be vouchers and special prizes to be given away to further liven up this year's event.

The last time the event was staged in the Philippines was in February last year at the World Trade Center in Pasay City, a few weeks before the country implemented lockdowns.

Also referred to as BBW Books, the mega book fair originated in Malaysia and was the brainchild of BookXcess founders Andrew Yap and Jacqueline Ng.

It opened in May 2009 and since then has expanded to other countries including Indonesia, Pakistan, Taiwan, Thailand, the United Arab Emirates, and the Philippines, among others.

The fair is known for holding 24-hour events for multiple days, giving the public more than enough time to visit the event and purchase books at low prices.
