The love for cards, collectibles and fighting games reached fever-pitch as Geek+Pop brought two exciting worlds together for an entire weekend of fun and action with the Philippine International Collectibles and Card Show (PICCS) and RESBAK. Exploding with the community last May 23 to 24, 2026 at SPACE at One Ayala, Makati City, PICCS and RESBAK was proof of the undying and vibrant passion of these communities.
Touted as the crossover event of the year, the Philippine International Collectibles and Card Show (PICCS) and RESBAK drew in thousands of excited attendees to Halls A-D of SPACE at One Ayala for two straight days of fun and enjoyment as Geek+Pop brought collectors and fighters to express and share their passions with fellow fans.
The Philippine International Collectibles and Card Show (PICCS) was a wonderland of colorful attractions and a wide array of exhibitors, booths and activities that featured tradable card games and related merch. Fans of brands and titles like Magic: The Gathering, Pokémon TCG, Alpha Clash, One Piece Card Game, Disney Lorcana, and Cardfight!! Vanguard, Flesh & Blood, Yu-Gi-Oh! got to enjoy card-slinging action and partake in greaty deals and finds. Tabletop miniature games from Unmatched and Warhammer 40,000 and galleries of painted miniatures were on display for attendees to play and enjoy. Game events like tournaments, auctions, box breaks, pack wars, and live raffles kept attendees on their toes and asking for more throughout the weekend.
Alongside PICCS just across the hall, equally intense battles were being fought as fighting games come front and center at Geek+Pop: Resbak as it assembled gaming enthusiasts and competitive players under on roof. As a testament to the Filipino’s enduring love and fascination for fighting games, Resbak was highlighted by furious tournaments of big fighting game titles like Street Fighter 6, Tekken 8, Super Smash Bros., Granblue Fantasy Versus, and Invincible VS. Plus, with side tournaments and activities for other fan-favorite titles.
arkadymac.com’s Correspondent Keileen got to enjoy the many fun and exciting attractions that PICCS and RESBAK had to offer. As a gamer and hobbyist herself, Keileen appreciated the sheer variety of titles involved and the many activities one can enjoy at the event.
Geek+Pop’s PICCS and RESBAK were fun and fresh events that brought very different but very passionate communities together under one roof, and we commend the organizers for an event that catered to the needs of communities that made them the heroes of the stories and adventures they wanted to take part in, be it through cards, tokens, dice, buttons or joysticks.
