Millennial Mom Sells 300-400 Kilos of Books a Day in Cavite Shop

Kath Alonzo

Kath Alonzo, a Caviteña mother of two, runs a 300-square meter book shop in Cavite called Bookchigo, a portmanteau of the word “book” and the Japanese word “chigo” which means “children.” Pre-loved books can go for as low as P100 per kilo by ordering online—Kath and her staff hold live selling twice a day and post available books on Facebook—or by visiting the store located in Lalaan 1 in Silang, Cavite (See ABS-CBN News for story).
