22/11/2023

After the Samar College 75th Anniversary wherein we served as cosplay guests, we rested in the rooms that the school provided for us in their own hotel (SC Hotel) until the morning of the next day then strolled around Catbalogan before most of us went back to Tacloban.

Once again, thank you, Samar College, for this opportunity.

Samar Colleges, Inc., you rock!

There were so many wonderful cosplays that night from your school.

We, the cosplay guests from Tacloban, Catbalogan and Calbayog truly enjoyed presenting on stage, boothing and street dancing. ✨

More power to you, Samar College!

THANK YOU SO MUCH, Samar Colleges, Inc.!

Thank you for inviting Otaku Tacloban Cosplay Host Organization - OTCHO to help you in the planning of the cosplay aspect of your super special event and in presenting cosplay stage presentations.

There were 20+ of us cosplayers mostly from Tacloban (OTCHO staff and cosplayer guests from Tac), a few from Catbalogan and one from Calbayog.

Thank you for providing all of us transportation fares, hotel accommodation, food and honorarium. ❤️

We really appreciate your passion to provide the best experience for your students, not only in academics but also in the arts... so far as to invite us weeks before this event to conduct a cosplay workshop.

Congratulations to a successful event last month. We are honored to witness you on your 75th year.

Thank you for recognizing the hobby cosplay and for seeing its potential to spark creativity and love for literature to the youth.

Here are highlights of the event and our time with you almost a month ago.

We are forever grateful for your genorisity and admire you for your innovativeness and pro-student ways. 💕

Special thanks to Sir Roque Villarin for coordinating with us from start to finish despite his injury along the way and to the school’s president, Sir Rhett Caesar Lucero Piczon, for the immense support! Also to the school's SSC officers, thanks for assisting us.

Although we are barely experts in this field as we reactivated cosplay events in Tacloban just this year, you counted on us. Thank you for the trust.
