Wattpad is celebrating its 20th anniversary at the Manila International Book Fair 2026, happening at the SMX Convention Center from September 9 to 13. The global storytelling platform is marking two decades of digital fiction with Filipino writers and fans at the country’s biggest book event.
The Philippines is one of Wattpad’s biggest communities, home to millions of readers and writers who helped grow the platform. To celebrate, they are bringing together popular Filipino authors whose stories have reached millions online and inspired film and TV projects.
Fans can drop by the Wattpad Booth to join the “Reader Passport” challenge, grab exclusive anniversary merch, and meet their favorite writers. Book signings and meet‑and‑greets will feature Wattpad stars like Knightinblack (Hell University), beeyotch (Seducing Drake Palma), and CeCeLib (Possessive series).
