The Cebu representatives to their latest competition aren't even Cebuanos. The foul play continues.

Been hearing about this topic 2 years after i started to get involved deep in the community itself.

What you stated was the truth itself but at the moment we can't really do much since no one is still able to be at par with those who are responsible for making a huge mess in the cosplay community here in PH.

Which brings us to the fact that some cosplayers nowadays just prefer to "cosplay" and not to participate on catwalks. They do this because they simply just want to enjoy themselves.

Kudos on the post/entry but at the moment i doubt that those "elitists" (which i call them) would receive even a nudge on this topic.

"and now she's biting the hand that feeds her"

Wow... big words from the "kapit tuko"(coattail-rider/gecko lizard) of the superiors. Considering you never approach them for help as a favor, they helped because they are obligated and/or paid to. All these years of cosplay, they have been doing such things, I witnessed a lot of those. I just hate the fact that they try to justify what bad things they did as right and/or fair.

Trust me, I should know, they did all of what they did to Alodia to me. I leave it to kharma.

Also, Alodia's site gets far more visitors than Cosplay.ph does. How could they possibly claim to be "the hand that feeds her"?

Apparently, Henry won't take responsibility for his words. He's suddenly set that plurk to friends-only.

I don't want him running around calling Polence a liar. Here's a screencap for posterity.

They're not the ones spending for her costumes. They're not the ones getting her endorsement deals. They are most certainly not "the hand that feeds her."

For Cosplay.ph to claim any credit for Alodia's success is simply ludicrous.

Sad that even in this hobby, politics rears its ugly head. Not that I'm surprised though, I mean it's the Philippines! nothing here is straight everything here is crooked. I've heard a lot from the older cosplayers quitting simply because this so called cosplay organization running the show. What's funny, there wasn't even an organization or group managing anything and cosplay WAS fun before some self proclaimed group of people started saying how they're the leading group in this Cosplay Universe. anyhoo, enough of my rants its there no point in crying over spilled milked. I feel for you alodia its sad but true i hope something is done but knowing how things work here in the Philippines that's neigh impossibility. No harm in hoping though.
