try’s longest running annual charity bazaar. On its 19th edition, WBF invites everyone to “Experience Giving” as it puts the
true spirit of Christmas at the center of its presentations. Officially opening its doors last December 14, the highly-anticipate

shopping finds, home décor, and gift items. For this year’s edition, WBF lives up to its stellar reputation as it boasts of near-
ly 843 booths across its expansive 12,708sqm exhibition space. Despite its perceivably shorter schedule compared to last
year’s 11-day run, this year’s WBF is guaranteed to make up for it with an equally extensive range of high-quality products
