Yo Dr E!

I've heard rumblings about this event.
Is it a confirmed July event?

If it is, I might scope it out!

I'll love to go as I missed last year's one (planned to go and then I saw the pricetag of the hotels around the con area... :shock: ).

How much do you think should be allocated for the trip?

Which part of the Philippines is this happening at again?
If it's in Manila, which part of Manila?
I may be able to help with accommodations, if anyone is interested in going for this event.

Yo H!

Cost-wise, going over there would still be a lot more affordable than flying to the US of A for SD Comic-Con. Budget airlines and decent budget hotels should bring the pricetag lower too. Just in case, throw in a little extra in case you spot a cool collectible or souvenir you want to buy.

Yo Jedi J!

From what I know, the event is going to be held in Manila---at Rockwell to be specific. Rockwell is one of the newer, up-market malls over there.

The event was originally slated for April but was postponed (thank gawd, I was swamped with deadlines). Hopefully, this July date pulls through.

By the way, what type of accommodations are you eyeing?

I understand that the venue is at the out-skirt of Makati City (the CBD of Manila), next to Powerplant shopping mall. I only have been there once for a short biz trip, and I enjoyed the food and shopping there. :)

I don't mind going too for a re-visit if more ppl are interested to go as a group. 8)

Yo jedi j!

I found out that:

Rockwell Tent, the event venue, is near Powerplant Mall.

Powerplant Mall is at Rockwell Drive corner Estrella Street and J.P. Rizal Avenue, Makati City, Metro Manila

Hope that helps!
