Philippine Cosplay Convention 2009
Manila's normally a bit out of the way for the wife and I, but we decided to take a look at the 2nd Philippine Cosplay Convention at the Robinsons' Place Ermita.

Surprisingly, the event was held in the open area, which pretty much guaranteed a large audience. But then it felt a lot more chaotic compared to the other cosplay events we've been to that required entrance fees or registration. We didn't stay long enough to hear the winners of the cosplay events, but there were a lot of excellent entries, especially the mecha/game cosplays.
Hataw Hanep Hero 2008
More cosplay goodness - this time from Hero TV’s Hataw Hanep Hero - The Amped Edition event at the Silver City Mall.
Characters from the Soul Eater anime.
The wife and I just got back from taking some pictures of the event. H4 ran for two days, but we only came for the second day, since most of the cosplay events were scheduled to happen then.
And cosplayers there were.
e-Games to come out with Cosplay Calendar
Philippine-based game publisher e-Games is cooking up another calendar for next year, this time featuring Cosplay babes, with Alodia Gosiengfiao in the lead.
See the video for some behind-the-scenes shots from the photoshoot. The e-Games site can be found here: http://www.e-games.com.ph/
Cosplay Mania!
Girls with guns. Hell yeah!
Just got back from the Cosplay Mania event, held at the SM Megamall.
It was a pleasant surprise to see that there are more 'serious' cosplayers now compared to before, and many of the participants seem to have taken more care in the creation of their costumes and taken the time to understand the characters they're playing. (Yeah, I'm also an anime geek, just in case you're wondering).
