Opening on December 12, 2025, the World Bazaar Festival (WBF) concluded on December 21. For 25 years, the WBF has been the metro’s most anticipated one-stop shop and holiday marketplace. The event showcased booths, products, and great finds—creating moments for everyone to bond. As a joyful platform, it embraced the spirit of the season: sharing, celebrating, and coming together.
Each year, the WBF is held for the benefit of the ABS-CBN Foundation and is organized by the leading event organizers in the country, Worldbex Services International. In the spirit of giving, the Festival presented tokens and gifts to 100 children during its opening day. Inside, the highlights include the Christmas Village, DTI MIMAROPA Pavilion, Designer’s Avenue, Woobie’s Goodies, Woobie’s Food World, Woobie’s Pet Zone, DA Pavilion, and many more.
Not only did the event open a space for Filipino shoppers, but it also collaborated with government institutions. Partnering with the Department of Trade and Industry provided people with an avenue to taste and buy handicraft items from the MIMAROPA region. Meanwhile, in its partnership with the Department of Agriculture, people were further introduced to other regional items across the country.
Beyond local booths, the Festival also collaborated with global business owners. At Designer’s Avenue, shoppers were offered a wide range of branded apparel and accessories at affordable prices.
The Festival wrapped up the year with full holiday cheer. With Christmas just around the corner, Filipinos were given the space to explore, enjoy the holiday rush, and shop to their heart’s content.
