Finally, the biggest cosplay competition and convention is finally in town!
Happened last September 29-30 in SMX Convention center, the said event is one of the most anticipated event that every cosplayer in the Philippines would not miss.
One of my friend is on the way when Eat Bulaga did a show on their place. Here are images of Eat Bulaga crew crash on their barangay, it was intended actually by one of his friend (weh?).
Alan K is doing his thing at the same time with Ruby Rodriguez.
Well what I can say, there are more visitors and cosplayers attended the event compared last year.
Inside, you can find booths that are selling toys and hobby related products that came from Japan - there are more retailers participating on this event too compared last year.

And of course, I'd like to see more Fursuit/Furry characters on the next convention. I don't know, but this would be another emerging sub-culture in the Philippines
I'd like to thanks the following for their contributions:
