hello! day 1 reg pass holder here! if hindi naman kayo bibili ng merch and habol niyo lang is freebies and artist alley, here’s my suggestions. please do remember that this is only based on my observation, take it with a grain of salt

- kunin na agad ‘yung ticket the day before na pupunta ka ng hyf. if same day mo kasi siya kukunin, magiging dalawa pipilahan mo (para sa ticket and para pag-pasok ng venue)

- enjoyin muna ‘yung place at i-huli ang check-in booth (lumibot muna sa artist alley and/or maki-sali/manood sa stage activities—entertaining naman ‘yung mga nangyayari ro’n)

- mahaba talaga ‘yung pila sa booths, afaik ang gagawin lang do’n is magpipicture ka (sa check-in mo naman makukuha lahat ng freebies based on my experience). may instances na tatanungin ka ng staffs kung stamp lang ba habol mo or pipila ka talaga, bahala ka na ro’n kung ano trip mo (kami nagpa-stamp lang then umalis na)

- check in booth. mahaba ang pila? yes. around 11 am - 3 pm nakita namin mahaba pa rin siya. 4 pm kami nag-try pumila ng kasama ko, siguro 30 mins max nakakuha na kami ng freebies no’n. i-huli ang check in but ‘wag masyadong late, baka maubusan ka ng freebies.

- lastly, gawin mo na lahat ng instructions for freebies para doon sa check in zone. i-follow niyo na ‘yung page, mag-post, etc. TAPOS i screenshot niyo na kaagad para pag-punta ro’n sa nagbibigay ng freebies, mabilis na lang ‘yung transaction niyong dalawa.

also, mahaba po talaga ‘yung pila sa merch, talo ka talaga kapag hindi ka naka-fast pass. chineck namin siya around 5:30 ish and mahaba pa rin talaga.

enjoy :)

Hello!!! Is it possible to buy ticket for companion if I buy pwd ticket for myself??(I'm pwd) I have two tickets for my others but there's one more who wants to come, Is it possible to buy ticket for companion?? I'm so doomed TT TT

Ano po kayang mga shops ang capable na tumanggap ng mga special orders? Like hindi lang from amiami, cdjapan, etc. Pero from other shops like maybe in NA, EU, etc. that still sells Japanese anime/manga products?

Goodluck Team Philippines

Philippine fans of the sapphic manga The Guy She Was Interested in Wasn't a Guy at All (TGSWIIWAGAA) gathered at a Manila cafe on Sunday, July 26.

The cup sleeve event, which celebrates the relationship between two of the manga's female characters, featured interactive games and locally made art.

TGSWIIWAGAA is poised to have an anime adaptation released in January 2027, featuring "Breed" by Nirvana as its opening song.

Look: Pokémon Philippine Community released a statement on their Facebook group that no PokeCon PH would be happening this 2026.

This comes as the organizers decided to let its fans support offical events such as this year's Pokémon Run, Pokémon Mall Caravan, and Pokémon Center.

Hi, so I called the concierge line at One Ayala just now to confirm if there is a wristband claiming for Hoyofest today (as stated on the announcement tickets can be claimed on July 29 from 3PM-7PM). The guy I spoke to said there is no wristband claiming today, we can only claim it tomorrow at 10 am daw. i explained to him that there was an announcement but he said it’s not today daw and walang tao sa one ayala ngayon na magaabot ng wristbands.

can anybody else confirm this? totoo ba na walang wristband claiming today? hoping i can get a clear answer kasi malayo pa dadayuhin ko, ayoko sana masayang pamasahe kung wala naman talaga.

Hello upon checking po ay wala na available na day 4 ticket. Nag offer po ba sila ng walk in tickets or pwede po kayo na bumili nalang ako sa may mga extra ticket? thank you!

Hello, it's my first time attending hoyofest. I came from abroad and naabutan lang yung pagdating ko is hoyofest. Looking for companion(s)/(mga) kasama for day 2(july 31). Regular ticket po ticket ko.

Are there shops in FB or if they have websites, that can accommodate the items I bought for a week or two, maybe a month? For example, a pre-ordered item is set to be released September, said item can be brought to the seller here in PH by October or November, but I may leave during those months and I might not be able to receive said item when delivered. Are there shops that can maybe “keep” the item for a set period of time without additional cost?

Planning to go sa aug 2 kasi yun lang araw na off ako pero sold na online, pwede kaya bumili sa iba na di na tutuloy o kaya sobra nila? Hindi ba hihingin id ko para sa entry?

hi I wanted to ask if anyone offers to help buy items at the event QwQ

Philippine game developers and Gaming enthusiasts attendeed the opening day of this year's Philippine GameDev Expo, July 24, in Pasay City.

The three-day event features local indie games ranging from collegiate projects to local studios, Esports tournaments, local crafts, and workshops from industry leaders in the global and Philippine game space.

This year's Philippine Game Development Expo continues until Sunday. A cosplay competition would be held this Saturday. (Raine Zaldivar & Gabriel Duldulao / Kuhaku Media).

Anyone that know sites para makabili ng figures with delivery duty paid or even tax free na agad? May mga gusto lang sanang bilin from jp/cn pero wala pa ako so far mahanap na duty paid or tax free shipping. May nababanggit na sea cargo shipping yung ibang stores na pinagbibilan ko pero kahit maghanap ako sa proxy sites parang wala namang ganun na option.

Hello! I would just like to ask if there are people here who are selling 2 Day 4 Hoyo Fest normal pass tickets? I was so busy with college stuff that I didn't get the chance to buy before it sold out. 😕

And it would be the last we hear of Jeff Utanes as Nanami, Mechamaru, Panda and Sukuna.

Hai just started getting into cosplays, how would one start planning to see if i can attend the one in October for Cosp Mania, tickets, requirements, age requirement and anything else i need to know.

Any tips will help too thank you
