December 24, 2016 — World Trade Center Metro Manila The Christian Family Organizations of the Iglesia ni Cristo (Church of Christ — of which yours truly is a proud member) organized the INC Live (Livelihood, Interaction, Values and Entertainment) at the World Trade Center Metro Manila in Pasay last December 23–24, 2016. I was able to catch up on the second day to meet my Cosplayer friends, most of them I only interact with online. ...
Part of the activities during the Toys and Collectibles Fair of the Asian Comics, Toys and Hobbies Collective at the Megatrade Hall 2 last December 18 is the NCR Qualifiers for World Cosplay Summit Philippines 2017. Team Reality (who did a skit from Sword Art Online) and Team Kanor Cubes (who did a Nintendo-inspired skit) were declared winners by default. According to WCSPH, there are supposed to be three pairs who will compete. ...
(Formerly the Ever Gotesco Ortigas Complex) Today’s video is taken from the newly-opened SM City East Ortigas SM Supermalls’ 60th mall. Formerly the Ever Gotesco Ortigas Complex, SM got the property after it was listed as one of Ever’s assets that are disposed (more of this on a 2014 Manila Standard story about tycoon Lucio Tan expanding the University of the East, which is somehow related). ...

ODEX Private Limited has just officially confirmed (double redundancy intended for further emphasis — confirmed na, official pa!) that the Philippines will be able to see Sword Art Online the Movie: Ordinal Scale with the rest of the world as they updated the cover photo on the /ODEXanime Facebook page. Prior to the official announcement, they already said that the Philippines will see it through SM Cinemas. ...
The Tribe app, as tested on MyPhone my81. Initally connected to Globe Telecom, targets K-pop and Anime niche At first, I think of the recently-launched Tribe as something catered to the Hallyu audience, but when [Anime Pilipinas [APN] reported that it has Aniplus content](http://www.animepilipinas.com/2016/12/06/aniplus-asia-philippines-through-tribe-streaming-service/), I didn’t take a second guess and got the app instantly. Aside from Aniplus, they have Korean brands tvN, KBS World, Kix and E-sports channel EGG. Tribe was launch last November 30, and they had their launch party last December 2 which features a live viewing MNET Asian Music Awards (and they even got Glaiza de Castro and the Gosiengfiao sisters Alodia and Ashley as guests). Tribe is based in Malaysia, and is brought by pay-TV provider Astro. ...
Hello, everyone — I’ve been receiving letters from Aniplus about their latest offerings, which is kind of a waste since there is no easy way to watch the channel yet until the Tribe app launched in the country (I will post my review of the app this Monday morning). Aniplus sent me an email last night announcing that they will simulcast Attack on Titan 2 in April 2017 — it’s the continuation of the beloved apocalyptic series where humanity fights titans so they can break free from their confined walls (three of them) that were built to protect themselves. ...
**My Cebu Trip, in 40 seconds.**This video starts off with me playing off a part of the latest Wake Up, Girls! single, and proceeds to show the wonders of Cebu — from the Sirao Garden to the skyline as seen at the Temple of Leah, to the skyline as seen at SM Seaside City Cebu. ...
Photos of the Day — 4 December 2016 Our event at the Cebu Trade Hall has ended, and to cap off the night, I took a night stroll after we sort things out. I took this while I’m waiting to cross the other side of Osmeña Boulevard, and if you see this in person, it’s beautiful — I guess it’s more gorgeous during the day. Prior to this, I stumbled upon a resto called “Coffee Prince.” I think this was named after the hit Korean series. ...
Delicious breakfast and lunch, yes? Cebu has its share of local restaurants — some of them include Orange Brutus and Jonie’s. Here’s my first impressions of the meals I ate: Orange Brutus SM Cebu has just opened its doors this morning. I was asked by my workmate where we can eat for breakfast, to which I said that we won’t go to Jollibee because I have eaten their meals for days. Then I stumbled upon Orange Brutus. ...
It’s happening — or so I say, “IDZ HABBENING!” After a long wait, we now have MNL48.ph online, and I will take a look at it in the coming days. The MNL48 mobile app was also launched earlier in the morning as per the MNL48 Facebook page. (Press release here) Just this afternoon, AKB48 Team 8 had it’s second performance on ABS-CBN’s “It’s Showtime” prior to its appearance in the Japan-Philippines Friendship Anniversary Celebration with STARMARIE at Market! Market! BGC Taguig tomorrow afternoon. ...
