Summer Komikon 2009 at UP

I’ve always wanted to go to a comic convention- comic con as it is popularly known- when I was a kid collecting X-men comic books. I used to read about comic cons a lot in Wizard Magazine and in the pages of comic books, and have often wished to be able to attend one locally. Unfortunately, during that time, the comic con was just that–a wish. While comic books and comic book shops abound, no one organized a comic convention.  It wasn’t until recently that a comic convention has been organized in the Manila.

After ten years of setting the stage for the biggest amateur rock competition in the Philippines, Red Horse Beer is extending its kick outside the rock and roll zone through its annual Muziklaban.

Aspiring local rock bands need not worry, though. The name “Muziklaban” will not be coined by the country’s leading extra strong beer for nothing. Muzik (for music) and Laban (for fight) will continue to be the breeding ground for promising rock groups, with more than 100 activation sites nationwide to be tapped by the Red Horse Beer marketing team in search of this year’s title holder.
