One of the biggest pop culture events to ever be held in the country, AsiaPOP Comicon Manila 2015 reached its final day of international guests, fun attractions and huge competitions, with people coming in by the thousands to take part in the festivities. That special Sunday was for the youngsters and their families, as kids got to get in and enjoy the event for free.
Our Cosplay Models/Photographers Czyrah and Yanna were there in cosplay to help us out with our coverage. Helping out too were Jillian and Nicolette.
Members of the Media were treated to a Press Interview with Paul Bettany. He answered questions from those present and everyone had a great time.
There was a talk/discussion about Cosplay on the main stage with Leanna Vamp, Monika Lee and Bill Doran.
Adventure Time with Jeremy Shada was well attended and the area was packed with kids and fans alike. Jeremy and the host talked about Finn and Adventure Time to the delight of the audience. At some point Jeremy used Finn’s voice to make an impromptu story, but that became strange a little to quickly. He answered a few questions from the audience and was also glad to see so many fans, some even in costumes.
Great events continued on stage including Colton Haynes, Nathalie Emmanuel, Toy Panel – J’Ryu, Chris Ryniak, Amanda Spayd and Simone Legno.
CAGE Kids Category was the main event of the third and final day of APCC Manila 2015. The judges made their classy entrance with a quick catwalk on stage:
Allison Harvard, Bill Doran, Vampy Bit Me, Alodia Gosiengfiao and Jay Tablante.
Here are some photos from the Kids Category Performance:
