For the third straight year, Misaki Con has brought fun and excitement to the cosplay community as this year’s edition came early to SM Taytay just this weekend. Those in the local cosplay scene know and love Ashley Misaki, a bright and talented young lady who has taken the local cosplay scene to new heights, winning award after award with her striking costumes and fierce performances. Those who have loved and supported Ashley have since organized Misaki Con, a unique event meant to celebrate cosplaying as a hobby and to foster togetherness within the community.
Renowned cosplayer Liui Aquino graced the event as a special host and had a meet and greet and autograph signing session. Celebrity Ann Mateo was also there to give a special performance, and she also had fun with the participants in the games. Of course, Ashley was on hand to help host the show as well and give out prizes. Miss Tiffany Sy, Fatima Jongco and Kei were there doing a great job at hosting as well. There was lots of games and raffles for everyone who attended, with booths as well as lots of giveaways and prizes to those who attended this free event.
Misaki Con is particularly special because it attracts the most number of chibi cosplayers from all over than any other cosplay event or convention. As a chibi cosplayer herself, Ashley has been admired by other children who truly enjoy cosplaying, as well as by parents who have long been impressed by Ashley’s exceptional talent as a cosplayer and competitor.
The highlight of the event was the individual cosplay competition where more than a hundred cosplayers vied for many wonderful prizes in many different categories. The participants wowed the crowd with their stunning costumes and exciting performances.
Winners for the various categories are:
Best Male: Don Jhoemar as Nero from Devil May Cry
Best Female: Lanie Ayo as Sorceress from DragoNest
Best Mecha: RB Cheng as Geno Breaker from Zoids
Best Crossplayer: July Mary as Ren Hakuryu from Magi: Labyrinth of Magic
Best Chibi: Mark Haiji as Iron Man
Best Game Cosplayer: Wiljander Custodio as Shock Blade Zed from League of Legends
With the number of attendees and participants in the hundreds, Misaki Con 2014 was a great success, thanks to the amazing team of organizers, friends and supporters who took on the challenge to make Misaki Con the annual spectacle that it is. We congratulate them for a job truly well done. Special thanks to Cosmic Bytes for their participation and assistance at this event as well.
