But even with just some brief hours, I was able to roam around the SMX Convention Center where APCC became its home since year 2. Now aiming for more bigger and immersive experience, they brought in Neflix stars from the series Finn Jones (Iron Fist) , Mike Colter (Luke Cage), and Tye Sheridan (Wade Watts). But their appearance will happen on Saturday.

The highlight of the day was the long line at Filbar's for the Exclusive Jollibee Funko Pop which is a limited edition piece. Fans of the bee started at noon which eventually became very long yet quite expected from a exclusive piece. Customers are only allowed maximum of 2 pieces per purchase. The Funko Pop is sold for P650 and will also be available in Jollibee stores in August.
