Live Blog: Online Cosplay Convention 2020

For one month, the National Capital Region (Metro Manila) is placed under quarantine. Prior to this, events have been postponed left and right (as posted on our COVID-19 Live Blog) – not only in the Philippines but also overseas.

In the Philippines, there is a plan for an “Online Cosplay Convention” where cosplayers share cosplay trials with the use of social media.

What started as a simple meme will become an actual activity for Cosplayers tonight at 8pm, March 18th.

Cosplayers are advised to post their cosplay trials on Facebook at 8:00pm with the hashtag #OnlineCosplayConvention:

1. Tommorow (march 18 @ 8pm) everyone will go on full cosplay trial.

2. Post a picture or Go FB live or greet your friends!

3. Flood the newsfeed of your friends with your cosplays and spread POSITIVITY during the time of quarantine!

4. Additional: use the hashtag

This live blog is set up to curate posts from Cosplayers who will be participating. We will also be Live on Facebook by this time.

COVID-19 Community Quarantine Diary (Live Blog)


Mobile user? Click here.


We currently live in trying times. COVID-19 has hit the Philippines, and our government is doing measures to keep everyone safe from this virtually-invisible disease that picks no one.

I’ve set up this diary / live blog to:

  • Give info about otaku events whether they will push through or postpone, as well as
  • Share updates from my end here in the West end of Pasig (sometimes)

This is in light of the COVID-19 outbreak that has been labeled as a pandemic by the World Health Organization.

What can we do during the COVID-19 community quarantine period in the Philippines?

For now, let’s follow the recommended guidelines to avoid the disease as well as to avoid stress during the Community Quarantine (March 15 to April 14, 2020):

In addition, please keep updated on news regarding COVID-19 on social media:

Lastly, (I’m not sure if this is helpful at this moment but) let’s help ourselves by controlling our panic tendencies as much as possible. Keep praying, keep hoping, maintain a positive outlook. This too shall pass.

After 78 days from the start of the Community Quarantine, I’ve decided to finish live-blogging on this page and move forward to other matters such as video and podcast content creation. I’ll blog occasionally, but I’ll try committing to a twice-a-month schedule, just like the podcast.

(Kindly wait for the Archive to pop up after a few seconds.)
