Pinoy Otaku Festival Fantasm

lets just call this Fantasm to avoid the long name, but anyways Fantasm is quite a unique Cosplay event that happened last weekend at Starmall Alabang.

Project Wangun was there with a booth again this time. 

now what makes Fantasm unique as I said earlier? well for me this is the first time I ever experienced a con where you don't need an entrance, but they ask attendees notebooks and other school supplies for their Balik Eskwela Project (back to school project)

plus, if you prefer a more shall we say full access VIP pass you still have an another option

pay 350 pesos and you have a 2 day full pass at Fantasm plus a full use of the Starland facilities (roller coasters, bump car, ferris wheel) and the pool to your hearts content

whats more you have a free bottle of Mogu Mogu, a free bus ride going to the event sponsored by RRCG Transit plus more (I wasn't aware of the last one honestly) and this is for the 2 DAYS, talk about VIP treatment :D.

now all jealousy aside as I said we had a booth again spreading the love about gunpla.

the experience was fun really because now, we are in a more accessible area , more fellow hobbyist came to the booth talking to kids with an interest in the hobby was a rewarding experience really, I just hope I led them on the right path about gunpla

she couldn't resist taking a selfie

now unfortunate for me I wasn't able to take many pictures of the event, cause I can't leave the booth as much as I like to .

but the event was loaded with many events as the first ever Bolen Lareza Chibi Cosplay competition 

now for those who don't know Bolen is a known young cosplayer here in the Philippines, 

from 2011

also, we have the usual karaoke contests, battle of the bands, and of course the cosplay competition 

now forgive me I don't have many pictures of the other mentioned events as I have already mentioned above.

now how I find the event, it was very fun actually, and very fulfilling as this a non-profit back to school charity you can't help and feel you have somewhat helped to attain one of their goals 

the collected donations

now I hope Fantasm will happen again in 2015 bigger and better, and when that happens you can bet Project Wangun will be there to support it .

I may have not mentioned many things here and there but you can always check Fantasm's Facebook page, their event page, and my lackluster photos at our Fanpage
