Hello Everyone!

Greetings of Peace!

I will schedule myself in attending various meetings for the
Upcoming Komiks Congress especially this Saturday, February
3, 2007.

Almost all of us know that I was always talking about Indie
Comics and its Creators and how I appreciate it.

I strongly believe that indie comics was been a forefront
In bringing back the attention of the people in Comics
during the times when the Philippine Komiks Industry
was still asleep. The indie comics is growing and growing
based from the past Komikons and other related events.

Now, An upcoming Komiks Congress was being collectively
facilitated by various people in the field of making comics.
Its primary objective is to promote an awareness in the past
Glory of the Philippine Komiks Industry and to create new
actions to refresh it and be able to campaign for public
acceptance once again.

I guess this is the time for us to be heard and to be able
Give our support for the love of Philippine Komiks Industry.

It is in connection herewith that I am asking everyone of us here who makes or was involved in indie comics. Please let Us know your:

1. Names,
2. the titles of your Indie Comics
3. and the name of your Indie publishing (optional).
4. if you can send the URL, much better (applicable for web comics)
5. Or your group name.

Any Indie Comics, ranging from different styles including Manga,
Cartooning, western, Filipino, or anything under the sun. BASTA
GAWA NG PILIPINO kahit ano. PANAHON PO NGAYON PARA
MARINIG TAYO AT MAGKAISA.

And This is in order for me to have an actual bases and data to prove that Pilipino Indie comics is really existing during the meeting and the
Komiks Congress…And to know your Sentiments, suggestions,
opinions, views on HOW we will able to make Philippine Komiks a
DEMAND in the public once again. SAMA SAMA TAYO LAHAT

// We were talking a comic congress event last year during the comic seminar, and I talked to people who were present that time about this kind of event, Im glad that now that there are some people who have the same agenda as mine, and now they are making a move for the good benefit of arts of Filipino comics, I'll be waiting for this and I guess 2007 is the best mark for the year of the Resurrection of Filipino comics. //
