With the threat of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in the country, Big Bad Wolf organizers said they will be taking additional safety precautions throughout the 10-day sale.

Visitors have been encouraged to wear masks. There are also temperature-taking and hand sanitizing stations at the entrance.

Some proceeds go to Taal

After the devastating eruption of Taal volcano last month, Big Bad Wolf has pledged 1000 books to its long-standing partner Gawad Kalinga. Organizers said the collected books will be distributed to affected communities in Taal, as well as some communities and public schools in Mindoro.
