June 17th was our schedule tv appearance and feature in ABS CBN’s Umagang Kay Ganda morning tv show that starts from 5:00am up to 7:30am. As usual, I tried to avoid any morning show guesting, but I placed my heart on to it that I should be present here again to promote our Toycon event. I missed the morning show tv guesting for two years already and this is my come back to join the fun the Philippine Toycon friends and community. Last time I was here is that there’s a typhoon, but I’m glad that the studio renovated a portion of the drive way with a nice ventillation and high ceiling tarp cover. It’s a perfect venue for our Toycon guesting.
A day before the tv guesting, we were advised by our sponsor that we should wear our Batman tshirts, because we’re also promoting the 75th anniversary of Batman, I got worried when I heard that because I have one piece of shirt with Batman design, its size Large and I don’t have any other shirt that is size XL, so I went to the studio wearing a very tight shirt hahaah
According to the producer of the show, last time was we have around 30 plus toy exhibitors that joined the morning tv feature. I left home at around 4am in the morning, I rode a cab from Coastal terminal going to ABS CBN and I arrived at exactly 5:00am, it’s a photo finish moment hhahaha.
Also during the morning show, we saw Kitchie Nadal performed live, we were advised to transfer to the other side of the set to watch her perform live, its been ages since I saw her, maybe 4-5 years ago, and we’ve met again and I’m glad she still recognize me. Its great to see her again and I’m surprised that she’s also a guest on that day. I lost my track and forgot to invite her to perform in our Toycon event.
Its my first time to see the Coca Cola collectors, they are the new addition to our community and I’m thankful that they joined with us for this year’s Philippine Toycon
