Geek+Pop's Philippine International Collectibles and Card Show will hold its third edition on Oct. 17–18, 2026, at SPACE at One Ayala in Makati. It is positioned as the country's first major card show, a gathering that predates the broader rise of trading-card conventions locally.
More than 200 trading-card vendors will sell singles, sealed items, and collectibles. Tournaments include Disney Lorcana, Magic: The Gathering, Pokémon TCG, and Riftbound. Relentless Assault adds Tekken 8, Street Fighter 6, Marvel Tokon Fighting Souls, Granblue Fantasy Versus, and Super Smash Bros. High Market Online co-presents, with Rich Prime and PlayAsia sponsoring. Cosplay, art markets, panels, and former MNL48 members appear for a fan handshake.
The show may strengthen Metro Manila's hobby ecosystem by giving collectors, players, artists, and small vendors a shared venue. Local card shops and online sellers could see greater visibility, while cosplayers and Filipino creators may gain new audiences. Families and younger fans might benefit from accessible art and gaming areas. As a recurring event, it may also reinforce Makati as a pop-culture destination, though actual economic and community effects would depend on attendance, spending, and organizer follow-through.
