Brace yourselves for lots of photos from the recently-held Gunpla Expo Philippines 2017 held at the Main Mall Atrium of SM Mall of Asia in Pasay. Gunpla this, Gunpla that, magsawa po kayo sa mga Gunpla. This expo (which did gain international attention) is probably a thank-you from our guys in Tokyo for having a lively Gunpla scene (before this, we already have qualifiers for the Gunpla Builders World Cup). ...

The members of the Philippine Bloggers’ Network (PBNet), having a post-event group pic. Content is king, yes, but you still need to talk to both humans and search engines to attract. Honestly, I’m in a school of thought that thinks SEO is no longer relevant and social media is the next big thing to gain attention. Over time, I realized I was wrong. At first, writing to search engines (search engine optimization, SEO) is like pondering to search engines because they have their own set of rules, whereas writing to humans (which is what I do at this very moment) has no rules and almost no boundaries. ...

While I was on my duty for the Digital TV Summit for both the advocacy organization DTV Pilipinas and my company, I decided to give the org’s co-founder Kyle a visit. They had this family business called The Ketchup Club which serves hamburgers and milkshakes in a 70’s style environment. TKC’s highlight offering include their unlimited fries (additional purchase required), but I opted for their ₱50 burger a la carte, and it tasted good. I got treated to a carbonara and it tasted great as well. ...

Unlimited tea… and rice? Yes, rice. T‘was a Saturday night and I just came from Davao to check out the Denki Megatech Convention at the Philippine Trade and Training Center in Pasay, only to step inside before 6pm and found out that the event ended way too early. What did I do next? I hang out with my friends at AniZone and they introduced me to this restaurant called Ooma at the Bonifacio Global City. ...

WATCH: Here are some highlights during my visit to Davao. Hello everyone, from Davao! Here’s what I have experienced on my first day here (aside from work, obviously): “Ma’am, picture tayo dito — kunwari delegates din tayo.” As ASEAN 50 Philippines 2017 is being held in Davao, as you step in the Davao International Airport, you will be welcomed with lots of these. ...

I checked out the first day, and here’s a briefer for everyone. I have a brief yet important info for everyone observing the local manga industry: I was informed by the one who’s manning the PSICOM booth at the Expo that the publisher stopped printing copies of Filipino editions of the Attack on Titan and Fairy Tail manga licensed from Kodansha since November 2016. ...

I asked @fildub 3 questions - Obviously, there were follow-ups. Mga kapatid at ka fildub, ‘wag kalimutan ang Voltron on TV5 mamayang 5:45PM! pic.twitter.com/Qx53MwduZc — TV5 (@TV5manila) January 31, 2017 It all started with a tweet: When TV5 AniMEGA referred to our subject in one of their tweets, I knew I had to ask questions. Hi everyone! While I’m away from the keyboard at the moment, let me tell you about this project called @fildub, which has gradually made a quaint community on Twitter — and eventually, it got noticed by a major TV network’s anime block (let’s just say that the ones who handle the block’s social media handles are very cool because they know what’s up in the anime-viewing community and how to approach it). ...
