We'll show you what we can do! Right here! Right now!

The start of 2017 has brought us great joy once again. Though we are are already used to receiving recognition or awards every year since we started our blog site way back 2013, we are still humbled whenever we get a notice of an award.

A first award for the year was a returning award-giving body that gave us an award a few years ago, now they've notified us again of another award.

We haven't formally received the first award for the year yet, when comes another e-mail from a different award-giving body notifying us of another award for the year. Of course we were overwhelmed especially that this is a new organization that has never contacted us before. But nothing comes close or compares to the experience we felt when we got another e-mail a few days afterwards that notified us of a third award for this year. OMG! For sure our bashers would be talking about us again. There would be memes coming out trying to make fun of us. But, hold your horses, fans... it's not our fault we have become a favorite blog.

Obviously, it's awards season again so we won't be surprised if this three awards would again be followed by more upwards throughout the remaining months of 2017. Hey! It's only February! It's just the start of teh year and yet we are already conquering the blogging community!

I know some of you would feel we are getting over our heads, or are heads are swelling up from all of these attention, but we are just overjoyed and proud we are getting noticed.

In short, we are truly humbled in receiving three awards notice for our Wazzup Pilipinas blog site for the year 2017, and hopefully still more awards will be coming soon! We promise to make sure we are all worth of the praise and commendations.

We all thank you for all the congratulations, but we've practically just began our adventure. It's just the tip of the iceberg, coz our real strength is not entirely visible to just about anybody. Thus, we are also inviting our readers to contribute your own news and stories to us. After all, we are a community blog, and aside from being well connected, informed, and engaged, you rightfully belong to be actively involved as well.

Send us your stories, and we'll be happy to publish them. Be part of our community!

From "Best" to "Babe" to "Break" Real Quick at #MMKWhenLoveGrows

Wazzup Pilipinas!

"and after all this time, I'm still into you.."

It's the most significant change I've seen in the world in the last 10 years. Ang madasaling si Santino, lumalandi na! Lol!

#MMKWhenLoveGrows tells a story of childhood friends Sandra and Mart who will fall in love at one point or another.

MMK's episode reminds us our first crush, first love, our first "best". Pabebe man ang MMK episode, still, we can't deny the fact that many of us can relate to it. MMK gave us a major throwback to the feeling when we had with our first crush. We can't help ourselves from smiling.

They say love is something we shouldn't hide but openly share. Kaya pag gusto mo ang isang tao, speak up. Falling in love in on our 1st teenage years is so exciting. That kind of love can never be matched again in our lives. However, sometimes, we may be too young to know better.

"Best may boyfriend na ako" That is how to break your bestfriend's heart! Ugh! It also works worst for girls. The sad reality of "akala ko" towards a boy who only considers you as a friend.

Wala nga kasing forever. Ang aga mo kasing lumandi. Iyan tuloy maaga ka din nasaktan.

But when your crush, crushes you back. Been there, done that! Hahahahahahaha. LOL!

The Filipino Komiks and Art Market "KOMIKET" Gears Up for its 3rd Year

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Artists, writers, readers and enthusiasts are expected to converge again in the third Filipino Komiks and Art Market (KOMIKET). This year, there will be two different events -- the February 25 (Saturday) Komiks and Art Market at the Elements at Centris and the February 26 (Sunday) Artist Talks at the U-View Theater at Fully Booked, Bonifacio Global City.

Whether you are a curious newbie or an art market enthusiast, organizers are inviting everyone to two days of fun as a way to support Filipino comics or "komiks."

SATURDAY ART MARKET

Meet and greet over 300 authors, illustrators and "komiks" creators who eagerly want to share what they have worked on the past few months. Get a first crack at their latest works, story compilations, graphic novels, stickers, postcards, art prints and original artworks up for grabs on February 25, Saturday, from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the Elements at Centris.

The Komiket Inc. will also release its first book, KOMIKS CUM LAUDE, a student comic book anthology featuring ten of the top student creators today: Mich Cervantes, Juan Carlos Panlilio, Aljon Perdon and Jose Victor Perey (De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde); Danielle Riña, Gia Duran, Danielle Dy-Liacco and Japhet Marquez (UP Diliman); Richard Mercado, Kevin Samala and Ianthe Pimentel (Ateneo de Manila University); Diklap Aytin (Ateneo Junior High School) and Tori Tadiar, Jess Santiago and Jez Nabong (Komiket’s Comic Book Creator’s Workshops).

SUNDAY ARTIST TALK

Listen and learn from superstar comics creators like Arnold Arre, Manix Abrera, Carlo Vergara, Eugene Madayag (Libreng Komiks) as they talk back with readers at the Komiket Artist Talks on February 26, Sunday, from 1 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the U-View Theater at the Basement of Fully Booked BGC. Only limited seats (70 per set) are available for the talks, and tickets will be sold at the venue.

The winners of the Komiket Awards will also be announced. The Best Komiks, Best Komiks Writer, Best Komiks Artist and Best Student Komiks will win komikstarter prizes—a five thousand-peso reimbursable fund to help kickstart their next "komiks."

LOVE LOCAL, SUPPORT LOCAL

The KOMIKET aims to help cultivate, promote and nurture local creators who would like to share their work to more readers. To those who want to show their support, see you at the 3rd Filipino Komiks and Art Market. Entrance tickets to the market cost 50 pesos each. Registration to the talk is at 550 pesos.
