Sulyap 2: Introducing a New Batch of Pinoy Comic Book Artists

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Komikon aims to continue publishing an independent comic book anthology annually to encourage more budding creators out there to continue honing their skills and to showcase the broad offering of Filipino comics. This is why they created Sulyap that was launched last November 13, 2010 at the 6th Annual Filipino Komiks Convention at the Starmall Trade Hall, EDSA cor Shaw Blvd, Mandaluyong City.

Sulyap is a collection of short Filipino independent komiks works, featuring the works of 8 young and talented comics writers, some of whom started out by joining the Komikon contests and Komikon Indie Comics Tiange. The featured stories and their creators are:

Ambition by Ian Olympia, Baboy 1&2 by Mel Casipit, Goodbye Rubbit by RH Quilantang, Kalayaan by Gio Paredes, Lipad by Rommel Estanislao, Maktan 1521 by Tepai Pascual, Taal Monster vs Evil Space Paru-paro by Macoy, and Windmills: Bearkdowns by Josel Nicolas

Sulyap was designed and compiled by Jon Zamar, with a foreword by Gerry Alanguilan and cover art by Melvin “Taga-ilog” Calingo. As a bonus, Taga-ilog’s Primer on Making Your Own Comic Book was also included.

Now, the people responsible for this ultimate project are introducing the 2nd batch of comic artists to be part of Sulyap 2. Get to  know more about them here:

Iglesia Ni Cristo Worldwide Walk for the Survivors of Typhoon Yolanda

Wazzup Pilipinas!

One faith... one love... one aim. Steps that will make other lives change. Strengthened by one faith, bounded by unity, brethren from all parts of the world. Our brethren all gather, willing and ready to help those affected by the Typhoon Haiyan. "We walk so they can stand".

The Iglesia Ni Cristo is having a fund raising "Worldwide Walk" today, February 15,2014, for the victims of Yolanda typhoon, event located from CCP Complex towards Roxas Boulevard.

It's amazing how the brethren have been united again as one. Brethren from over 13 Ecclesiastical districts here in and around Metro Manila, Philippines joined together for the Worldwide Walk for those affected by typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda).Despite the early departure in their own locale congregations, brethren are very thrilled by the thought that they will be able to help the victims of the typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda) by participating in the Worldwide Walk that is being held not only in Manila, Philippines but all over the world. This is definitely a lot of fun!
