Komikeria | Road to Komikon 2023

After nearly three years of hiatus, Komikon returns with a pop-up event at the Robinsons Galleria that started a workshop a week earlier and then with this one-day Filipino Komiks-centric event known as “Komikeria” that is a whole-day affair featuring old and new publications focused on graphic novels and singles issues. The last Komikon dates back to November 2019 until the world shut down, but they never stopped there with virtual events. But the virtual interaction is not the same as how you meet people in person. These little steps in their return to bringing physical events with “Komikeria” are also a pathway to return to the beginning.

McDo PH | 'Toy Bazaar' at Robinsons Galleria

06.16.2019 – McDonald’s Happy Meal toys have been a hit or miss in the past months that whatever is released in Southeast Asia is limited by the properties that are only offered to this particular region. Besides that, you can’t buy the toys separately unlike in Western countries as most Asians would end up buying the toys than food. Basically, there’s a rarity in buying only the toys unless it is applicable to all countries within Southeast Asia. But with the Philippines, it can only happen when one selected branch or store decides to clear their storage space and that’s when McDo Toy Bazaar happens, which has been a rare occurrence and not all stores do it.
