One of the world's most noted brand in collectible figures just set up a pop up shop at the middle of Robinsons Place in Manila. Tamashii Nations has always been the go to folks for everything anime, manga, and is part of Bandai. You could evidently see how detailed their pieces are, and plus points on craftsmanship which we all got to see on their shelves!

If you're a fan of Dragon Ball Z, Ultraman, Kamen Rider, Gundam series, several anime's, you'll certainly love what they have to offer. They also gave tons of discounts for patrons and fans, plus a few launches that interested us especially the new die cast figure for Soul Of Chogokin GX-118 Voltes V Legacy. Kapuso actors Radson Flores and Matt Lozano were also there for the delight of Voltes V Legacy fans and gave them time to talk, do a few activities and signed some of the products bought on the pop up store.

Meet the Soul Of Chogokin GX-118 Voltes V Legacy. It's super cool to look at in person, and Akira san mentioned how much he took time to not only put accuracy in the model, but also be able to do the separate vehicles justice. For those asking, GreattoysOnline.com is the sole distributor for Tamashii Nation in the Philippines. They are also celebrating their 25th anniversary, and what service did they made for those who love toys and anime-manga culture. Akira san also told us that they've got lots of event exclusive models including one for Kamen Rider which he also designed. Here's the event on video, please enjoy!

   

I'm also super happy about Radson and Matt of not only landing the roles for Voltes V Legacy, but being a full part of POP CULTURE, that when Voltes V is mentioned, they will be part of that already. That's super cool in so many levels, and I hope they would be able to make fans gush not only with their looks, but geeks who continue to love the show to this day.

Congratulations to Tamashii Nation, GreattoysOnline.com and the men and women who made this event possible. They are still there until March 15th so make sure to head on to Robinsons Place Manila if you want a dose of Voltes V Legacy, more manga, mecha and anime, grab your friends, family and get those Tamashii Nation products to make yourself happy!

KAI MONTINOLA, KYLE ECHARRI, MARIS, ARTHUR NERY, ADIE Headline ONE ILOCOS SUR Festivities

Ilocos Sur knows how to really party as they did another round of the Ilocos Sur Festival. Imagine, a party for 12 straight days of people enjoying culture, faith, community, all in one place where every Ilocano, Ilocana, their friends, and family would enjoy from sun up to sun down in this province in the north. 

They started with the Ilocos Sur Trade and Food Fair where they set up various booths with the help of local entrepreneurs, artisans, making us all feel that the industry is thriving in this region and gave us reasons to come back. Caoayan won Best Booth and also featured products like Double Cacao Delight, Ube Vinegar, and tons of other things. They also had processions to celebrate the Eucharist, the Los Patrones for the faithful and the clergy. They also did a Grand Parade where they featured floats from different municipalities, and where Sinait, Sigay and Narvacan won best in class. They also did a full on drone show at the Quirino Stadium where ABSCBN stars Kai Montinola and Kyle Echarri performed to the delight of Ilocandia. Mind you, the crowd there went to 40,000 which is a big turnout compared to previous years. 

They also did a few days of homage to fisher folk and farmers, putting those tractors and produce in a parade, plus a program for those who went back to the province and the tourists too. They also did a blackout bingo for a whopping 100K no joke!

They also held a Tattoo Expo called Tinnatoan where Apo Whang Od's descendants did a lot of mambabatok skin work, and several of them won Best in Show in a competition done just on this festival. They also did Mister Ilocos Sur where Aries Patis won for his hometown of Santa Cruz. They also did sea based comps and a motocross plus Ilocos Sur Pride Queen 2026 where Luivie Bitongan won for Candon City. At the Miss Ilocos Sur 2026, gorgeous Nathalie Clarin won for the town of Narvacan. It was absolutely fun to see all of it happen at One Ilocos Sur!
