Pasasalamat Para sa Komikon 2010

So it’s been two days after the successful Komikon 2010 and we, the organizers, have just gotten around to going online and updating our statuses and websites. For everyone who went to Komikon 2010, we all thank you from the bottom of our hearts. All the hard work and pain that we put into preparing for each event is worth it whenever we hear that the people, both attendees and exhibitors, have enjoyed Komikon. We do acknowledge that a lot of improvements still need to be done, and we know that with all of your help, and continued support, we will be able to do so.

In the mean time, we would appreciate it if you could all take a few minutes to complete this Komikon 2010 Feedback Survey.

We will be posting more pictures and videos soon, but for now, here are some from the highlights of last Saturday:
