We believe September is the busiest month for the Philippine Cosplay Community due to a lot of events lined up.

Although we have already enjoyed half of these events, there are still a lot to expect by the end of the month with biggest and most anticipated Cosplay event in the country.

Cosplay.ph®, in cooperation with Brother International Philippines Corporation, Sony Philippines and Animax, is proud to present Cosplay Mania ’12 happening on September 29 and 30, 2012 at the SMX Convention Center Function Rooms 3 to 5, SM Mall of Asia Complex, Pasay City. The event will start at 11:00am and run up to 9:00pm for both days.
