Because of the PPopCon 2023 postponement, a group of PPop fans from different fandoms unite to stage a Fan Gathering to celebrate the PPop Community in place of the postponed convention. Stemming from snow-balled suggestions from a twitter space hours after the announced postponement, fans from different Ppop Fandoms turned rants and cries into a grand plan to create the first ever PPop Community Event or PPOPCOM.
Set to happen on Sunday, the 19th of March from 10:00AM to 6:00PM At Eton Centris in Quezon City, PPOPCOM is the first ever Fan Gathering initiated by PPop Fan volunteers aimed to strengthen the bond of different fandoms and artists within the Pinoy Pop Community. This event is also set to celebrate the widespread success of Pinoy Pop not only here in the Philippines, but also in other parts of the world. Ultimately, the goal of all the united fandoms of the community is to promote Ppop and help the artists push PPop into greater heights.
The event will be kicked off by a twitter space program hosted by @PPOP_Com and different fandoms and fanbases on March 18, Saturday at 8:00PM. It’ll then be followed by festivities on March 19 at Eton Centris at 10AM. Different Fan Bases will have booths where fans can get to know more about the different Ppop Groups and Artists, interact with their co-fans and share amazing stories and bits of trivia and information about their fandoms. Games are also set to happen where fans can win amazing prices and share fun memories with their co-fans and idols.
A mini concert will cap-off the celebration. Apart from the fans who will showcase their talents on stage, different Ppop artists such as Geca Morales, Hazel Faith, Tiara Shaye and PPop Group Ver5us are also set to perform. There will also be special surprise guests who will be announced in the coming days.
What sets this event apart from different Ppop events is that the spirit of volunteerism is vividly imbued across the whole event. Comprised of volunteers from different PPop fandoms, this ground-breaking event which was organized in a week’s time, is a product of the volunteers’ talents, time and effort – all of them doing it for free, for the love of Ppop. The whole event also has zero budget. All booths, prizes, technical equipment and other items are sourced through sponsors who are members of other fandoms as well. Artists who will be performing are also doing the show for free in support of PPop.
Truly, PPOPCOM 2023 is an event born out of love and passion of the different fans in support of the community’s battle cry #PPOPRISE.
