11th ManilArt Continues to Showcase Global Filipino Artists

Wazzup Pilipinas!

I just came from the 11th ManilArt press conference where I got to interview three personalities. The ManilArt Art Fair Director, Tess Rayos Del Sol, her husband and Ostrich egg sculptor and curator Danny Rayos Del Sol, and the Head of Cultural Heritage Section, Lawrence Charles Salvador.

ManilArt National Art Fair showcases the Global Filipino Artists from the nation's storied past to the present and leading to the future, and is in line with the National Commission for the Culture and the Arts' (NCCA) 2019 theme for Museums and Galleries Month (October), "Building a Nation, One Exhibit at a Time".

Before this event, as per my interview with NCCA Head of Cultural Heritage, Lawrence Charles Salvador, he also mentioned event happening in the Visayas (Iloilo) and Mindanao (Davao) before the ManilArt and another event in Manila. Please watch my interview with him for the details.

ManilArt will initiate with a gala night on the 9th of October and the fair will be on the following days at the SMX Convention Center of SM Aura

In partnership with the Local Government of Taguig, which has been involved in the art fair for 7 years already, but they started the fair at two other venues before settling in at their home at SM Aura.

Our ManilArt National Art Fair Director is from Taguig so she was glad that the LGU of Taguig has the same vibe as her to promote the arts when she first met up with them 7 years ago. Thus this strong partnership, aside from being hailed as the primary art event of NCCA, has been giving everyone to see upclose and personal artworks we should be proud of as Filipinos.

Aside from paying tribute to our Filipino artists, known locally and abroad, the art fair is an opportunity to appreciate the different artworks of newbie to veteran artists, and to inspire all ages - the youth, "adulting", late bloomers, or those on what we call mid-life crisis age, and even senior citizens (why not), to either become artists themselves since we are never too old if we are really passionate about our interests, or purchase works of art as an investment.

I myself is a frustrated artist, but had to pursue a different path because the misconception is that there is no money in the arts. But now I find myself always looking for that creative output to express my love for the arts.

Well why not, as per my interview with Danny Rayos Del Sol, who was challenged in his 40s to produce around 30 Ostrich Egg sculptures for a one-man show, he gave up his corporate career to follow what I might call his "mid-life epiphany" - that moment of realization that there is a better plan for his newfound talent.

Well maybe since the month of October is also my birthday month, that could be a sign that I should try revisiting my inclination for the arts. As per my interview with Art Fair Director Tess Rayos Del Sol, where I did tell her about my yearning for the arts during my younger years before college, just like her husband, the art fair may possibly renew my interest to put out my paintbrushes. But how I wish there was a bevy of art fairs during my youth (so it could have influenced me to change my mind of taking up Engineering) , and how I am glad she has made it convenient for students to visit the event. Indeed, as per her motivation to educate, these students could be our future artists - the next generation of big names that excel in the arts!

The ManilArt event will highlight artists connected with top art galleries in the country, so we may get the chance to meet them in person, and get to also participate in other activities the organizers lined up on those dates. Who knows, maybe it will be your turn to have that epiphany and soon I will be writing about you on my blog.

Wazzup Pilipinas will surely be doing the iconic shout-out at the event so if you're lucky to catch me around my times of visit, don't hesitate to ask me for a selfie!

From Malta to Manila: Sigma, Clarion Gaming and ICE Asia to Hold Simultaneous Events in June 2020

Wazzup Pilipinas!

And it is officially launched!

All eyes are on Malta this November 2019, and now soon in Manila on June 2020!

Eman Pulis, founder and CEO of Sigma, already announced the big events happening for Manila on June 2020. On stage, infront of an audience of businessmen involved in the related industries, and members of the media, Eman proudly shared the big news.

The recent press conference held on September 19, 2019 at Sage Bar of the Shangri-La Makati Hotel to launch SiGMA Manila 2020, in partnership with Clarion Gaming & ICE Asia, was more like a night of socials and networking since the announcement was short and direct to the point, butbtruly something to watch out for next year.

SiGMA iGaming Summit, together with ICE and AI & Blockchain Summit will be three big shows on June 8 and 9, 2020 at  SMX Convention Center and The Conrad Hotel in Mall of Asia Complex, Pasay city, respectively.

In an exclusive interview with Eman, he was excited to also share how the Philippines has been supportive of their event they started in Malta, and now soon in Manila. Please do watch our video interview on our social media channels.

SiGMA Manila, ICE Asia and Manila AI & Blockchain Summit will take place June 8th-9th 2020 at the SMX Convention Centre, as well as the adjacent Conrad Hotel, Manila. The conference will address all the latest developments in land-based gaming, igaming, esports, digital games as well as Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain, Internet of Things, Big Data, Quantum Technology and FinTech.

For the very first time in history, the two verticals - new tech and gaming will meet in one city on the same dates, bringing the brightest minds and most successful entrepreneurs under one roof.

I for one is also excited to personally witness this event. But I have to hold my excitement for now as it is a still several months away. Naturally, our mindset for now is the upcoming holiday season which is just less than 100 days away.

Congratulations in advance to Sigma and the other companies involved in these huge events.

Below are more information coming from their official press release:

About iGaming Show in Manila

As a joint venture between SiGMA Group and Clarion Gaming, the gaming part of the event will cater for both the land-based gambling sector as well as the iGaming sector, with online suppliers, operators, affiliates, regulators and blockchain businesses all being housed under one roof at the SMX Convention Centre (situated in the heart of Manila as well as the adjacent Conrad conference venue).


Clarion Gaming are the organisers between the world’s largest gaming show, out of London, ICE Totally Gaming. SiGMA Group is responsible for the world’s second largest gaming show, based out of Malta - SiGMA. With these two forces uniting and heading to Manila together, the organisers are expecting around 10,000 delegates from Europe and USA.



About Blockchain and AI Show in Manila

The organisers behind the world’s largest Blockchain and AI expo in Europe, AIBC Summit, will also be bringing their wealth of experience and contacts to Manila. Past editions have seen world-class speakers Akon (grammy-award winning artist and social impact leader), Winklevoss brothers, John McAfee, Sophia the World’s first robot citizen, Malta’s Prime Minister Joseph Muscat, Tim Draper, Anthony Pompliano and many more.

The AIBC Summit in Manila is supported by CEZA and Vibe.ph.



Why Show in Manila? Why Asia?

As Asia tempts leading brands from the global gambling sector to expand business opportunities in the region, it’s fast becoming clear that Asia is the new frontier for both land-based and iGaming industries.

Recent figures from Global Gaming Statistics 2019 reveal that jurisdictions all over Asia are looking to capitalise on the global opportunities flourishing in the gaming sector. Given this trend, it’s crucial to foster dialogue between East and West, addressing considerations such as regulatory environments in different territories, payments processing methods, the integration of blockchain emerging technologies, and even bandwidth for mobile gaming.

It’s precisely these issues that next year’s show in Manila will address by bringing the biggest brands and jurisdictions in the sector together in one venue.

Eman Pulis, founder and CEO of SiGMA, commented, “We are impressed by the vibrant entrepreneurial spirit in South-East Asia, specifically in Manila and the Philippines. Which is why we believe that ICE, SiGMA and AIBC - Asia - should be held in Manila. I look forward to the first edition this coming June 2020 with excitement. The feedback from our previous attendees in Europe has been overwhelming.”

Kate Chambers, Managing Director for Clarion Gaming, commented, “The opportunities for growth in Asia are increasing exponentially year on year, and the time is right to cement new and existing relationships between the gambling industries in both East and West. To combine the expertise of Clarion courtesy of the world famous ICE brand and SiGMA ensures both the land-based and iGaming sectors will find synergy in Manila in 2020. This is an exciting time as we extend the reach of the ICE brand following the launch of ICE Africa in 2018 and ICE North America in May 2019.”

On June 8-9th, 2020, all eyes will be on South-East Asia, in Manila for this gathering of top level delegates from all over the world.



The floor plan for Asia is already filling up fast. Detailed information about our Sponsorship and Exhibitor packages can be found on our site. If you have any questions, or wish to speak to someone about opportunities, please contact Eman eman@sigma.com.mt or Jean at jean@sigma.com.mt .
