Over 7,500 fans visited and participated in the event, triple from last year’s count: Organizers The 3rd CONQuest Festival has just been held at the Iloilo Convention Center last June 22 and 23, serving the need of the Visayas and Mindanao regions for a pop culture event which is at par with what us Metro Manilans experience. Its third year saw a major partnership with Globe Telecom and Twitch, which led to a boom of content ranging from Esports to Arts and Education. ...

Baguio City’s Long-Awaited Cosplay Comeback - Major Cosplay Event happening at Newtown Plaza Event Center Last January, I went to Baguio City for the first time to witness how cosplay events work there, through Kospurei Bunkasai. To be quite honest, I failed to get a good grasp of what the community is like, and I was so sleepy you can see me dozing off on some occasions. I promised myself that by the next time I stepped in Baguio, I shall have a good hold of it. ...

New and Bigger Venue, More Activities— and this time, unexpected guests! May is already becoming a busy month for me as I will be in two events — the second one will be the 2019 Pinoy Otaku Festival to be held at Robinsons Novaliches Trade Hall from May 17 to 19, Friday to Sunday. This year’s POF theme is “Asobu” / “Let’s Play”, which leans more on having an interactive experience for all visitors. ...

Say it with me, mga bai: “Oh-zeen,” hindi “Oh-zayn.” Imagine a conversation between a group of people: “Tara, Cebu?” “G.” Now, imagine if this was the team behind the Ozine Fest series of events. This is probably how Ozine Fest Cebu was set. Otakuzine has been in the events (and the magazine) business for a decade now, and I believe it’s their first time that they will go out of town and into SM Seaside City Cebu’s Sky Hall this May 18–19, 2019. ...

Upcoming collaboration between Do it for the Aidols and DareDemo Sekai set on May 5 I’ve been through a handful of idol-related events such as the 1st Manila Idol Matsuri and BONDS Indie Idol Fan-meet* last year, and I can say to myself that I’m not yet done with idols outside MNL48 (this I will explain in Episode 36 of the podcast to be released on Sunday afternoon Manila time). This May 5, I’ll be at The Roxy Events Place in Quezon City as our friends from Do it for the Aidols (DIFTA) and DareDemo Sekai will be collaborating for the first Aidol Fiesta. ...

Philippine Fan gathering to celebrate Japanese drama & movies The first time I got to a JDoramaEiga PH event is when they held a block screening of Itoshi no Irene at Robinsons Galleria as part of the QCinema Film Festival last year. Guess what: They even got the lead Cebuana actress Nats Sitoy to join in the screening, and a Q&A was done afterwards. Now, they sent me an email telling me more about their first fan gathering for this year, JDoEiga Matsuri which will happen this April. ...
