🌼 Those who are interested in reading books as one of their hobbies are welcome to check out the book fair with Big Bad Wolf Books at Azuela Cove located somewhere near the Gaisano store outdoors. This book fair accordingly opened on November 13 and offered some special discounts on selected items and will
Inn-sha-Allah continue displaying their books and accessories like stickers and collectible pins until November 24 if I'm not mistaken.
No special membership ID required, unless you're okay missing out on certain discounts like student and teacher discounts. Simply go inside and have your bags checked while ensuring you maintain proper manners at all times, not shoving people, not cutting lines, and refusing to answer a shopper's query if you know the right response to their questions if they have any. Accordingly the book fair is open from 10 AM to around 12 midnight of these days until November 24. They have a good collection of books in English language as well as in Tagalog language.
While browsing around some aisles I felt somewhat reluctant to purchase a number of books related to achieving happiness. I believe there are way better books about attaining true inner peace and contentment available at DUKKAAN ( https://www.facebook.com/DukkaanStore/ ) and Darussalam Philippines ( https://www.facebook.com/darussalamph/ ) first branch of Darussalam International Publishers & Distributors (Official) which published some of my dear parents' Islamic books (Allah yarhamhuma. Ameen) including Da'wah According to the Qur'an & Sunnah.
⤴️ Handbook: Da'wah According To The Noble Qur'an And Sunnah Of The Beloved Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam
There's also Abriha Islamic Books and Apparel for those who enjoy reading and collecting books or giving books as worthwhile gifts residing in Marawi.
I asked some of the staff and security guards at Azuela Cove if there's a designated prayer room or Musalla for Muslim customers and Muslim visitors like there's one at the museum in People's Park here in Davao city but I was told there's no actual prayer room yet. What can be done is we need to perform complete wudhu ablution for the next prayer in advance before putting on one's socks so when the time for the obligatory prayer / Salah arrives, one can easily locate the Qibla direction with one's Qibla compass or Qibla locator application etc. and it can be helpful to bring a picnic mat and prayer mat instead of directly praying on the ground which many pedestrians and strangers tread on.
Just giving special shout outs to some Muslim entrepreneurs and halal businesses I've recently supported in no particular order:
Hamida Arabe Hamida Mucsan Arabe - check out her halal frozen products ready for cooking as well as her affordable niqabs ✨
Thahira AB of Halwa.co Alhamdulillah I enjoyed her yummy cookies and chocolate moist cake with pistachio cream and kinaafa this morning before we went to the book fair at Azuela Cove✨
Arwa's Kitchen Ph Alhamdulillah the packed lunch meal consisting of chicken curry and rice cooked by the wife of one of our hardworking asaatidh here ustadh Habib Aquino was enjoyable Alhamdulillah.
I planned on trying the free shuttle bus ride from Azuela Cove to People's Park so we could visit Mini Forest and so I can treat my daughter and her friends one of whom is half Egyptian some Maranao food within my budget but QaddarAllahu wa maa shaa-a fa'al we had to go home earlier than we intended to since some of us had other tasks to complete.
Inn-sha-Allah even if you don't find enjoyment in reading hardcover or softcover books nowadays for now, you can still purchase their tote bag for only 50 pesos and select which of their stickers they have on sale - the sort of stickers you choose (buy 6 stickers for only 150 pesos) can say a lot about your character and values.

Note: Alhamdulillah, unlike in Bonifacio Global City in Manila, the bathroom stalls at Azuela Cove have water jets or water bidet. Just letting you know✨
