Geek+Pop 2026 Returns: Biggest TCG, Collectibles, Gaming and Pop Culture Show in the Philippines

The First. The Biggest. Geek+Pop Returns For Its Third Philippine International Collectibles And Card Show

For collectors, gamers, artists, cosplayers, toy hunters, and anyone who simply enjoys a good dose of pop culture, Geek+Pop Philippine International Collectibles and Card Show is coming back with even more reasons to drop by.

Facebook: Geek+Pop

Set for October 17 to 18, 2026 at SPACE at One Ayala, Makati, the third edition brings together the communities that make the local geek and collectibles scene exciting, from trading card players and toy enthusiasts to artists, performers, photographers, and pop culture fans.

Before trading card shows became a regular part of the Philippine collectibles scene, Geek+Pop was already laying the groundwork.

Now, its third Philippine International Collectibles and Card Show is returning on a bigger scale.

THE FIRST. THE BIGGEST.

Geek+Pop holds a special place in Philippine collectibles history as the first big card show in the country, helping create a dedicated space where trading card collectors, sellers, and players could come together.

That legacy continues with the third edition, but this time, Geek+Pop is going beyond cards.

It is about collecting, playing, creating, performing, and celebrating Filipino geek culture.

Whether you are looking for that one card you have been hunting for, checking out toys and collectibles, meeting fellow fans, discovering local artists, or simply seeing what is happening across different fandoms, there is plenty to explore.

A MASSIVE MARKETPLACE FOR COLLECTORS

The centerpiece of Geek+Pop this year is a huge TCG marketplace featuring more than 200 TCG sellers.

For collectors and players, that means plenty of opportunities to browse singles, sealed products, collectibles, and other hobby finds all in one place.

The event is Co-Presented by High Market Online, one of the country's premier Local Game Stores and a leading provider of TCG singles.

Major Sponsors Rich Prime and PlayAsia will also bring some of the biggest brands and products from the hobby and pop culture space.

Rich Prime will showcase iconic brands including He-Man, Hot Wheels, Barbie, Power Rangers, and more.

Meanwhile, PlayAsia will bring the brands they carry, with a particular focus on trading card games, giving TCG fans even more opportunities to discover products and add to their collections.

With more than 200 sellers, the marketplace could easily become one of the weekend's biggest attractions. You might come looking for a specific card and end up finding a collectible you did not even know you wanted.

And that is part of the fun of collecting.

FROM COLLECTORS TO COMPETITORS

Of course, Geek+Pop is not just about buying and selling.

It is also about playing.

The event will host multiple TCG tournaments, featuring some of the biggest games in the hobby, including:

• Disney Lorcana
• Magic: The Gathering
• Pokémon Trading Card Game
• Riftbound
• And many more

There will also be TCG unboxings and discussion panels, giving attendees a chance to get deeper into the games, products, strategies, communities, and trends shaping the Philippine TCG scene.

That makes the show accessible to different kinds of fans. Competitive players can test their skills, casual players can enjoy the atmosphere, collectors can browse the marketplace, and newcomers can simply walk around and see what the hobby is all about.

Communities for Warhammer 40K, Pokémon Go, and Gundam Miniatures Tabletop will also be part of the event.

THE FIGHTING GAME BATTLEFIELD

Trading cards are only one part of the action.

Geek+Pop will also feature Relentless Assault, a dedicated Fighting Game Tournament bringing players together for battles across some of the biggest fighting game titles.

Featured games include:

• Tekken 8
• Street Fighter 6
• Tokon
• Granblue Fantasy Versus
• Super Smash Bros.

For tournament regulars, it is another chance to compete.

For everyone else, it is an opportunity to watch the action and experience the energy that comes with a live fighting game competition.

There will also be a free-to-play video game area, where visitors can pick up a controller and enjoy gaming without an additional play fee.

From TCG tables to fighting game setups, Geek+Pop is bringing multiple gaming communities together under one roof.

WHEN FANDOM MEETS FILIPINO CREATIVITY

Geek+Pop is also expanding the experience through its crossover with Geek+Pop Pinoy Creative, putting the spotlight on Filipino creators and the communities shaping local pop culture.

One of the major attractions will be the Art Market, featuring original works by Pinoy artists.

Visitors can discover artwork directly from Filipino creators, support local talent, and bring home original pieces inspired by art, fandom, geek culture, and pop culture.

It is a different side of collecting, one that goes beyond mass-produced merchandise and gives fans a chance to discover the people and creative stories behind the work.

A PLACE FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF CREATORS

The creative side of Geek+Pop is not just for longtime collectors and adult fans.

A dedicated art area for kids will give younger attendees a place to draw, create, and explore their imagination.

For families, this adds another dimension to the event. Parents can check out collectibles, games, and artists while younger visitors get their own space to create.

It also reflects a bigger idea behind fandom: sometimes the things we collect are the same things that inspire us to create.

THE GEEK+POP STAGE

The main stage will bring together established creatives, organizations, and resource people from different disciplines for discussions and special segments.

Among the featured programming are:

Treb Monteras | Film

A special segment exploring film, filmmaking, and the creative process behind the medium.

Jay Tablante | Cosplay Photography

A discussion on cosplay photography and the craft of turning characters and costumes into compelling photographic images.

Bigkas Pilipinas | Art Fight

A live, competitive celebration of art and creativity that brings the audience directly into the action.

Pinoy Speculative Fiction | Pinoy Pop Culture, Urban Legends, and Myths

A discussion exploring stories, legends, myths, and cultural ideas that have helped shape Filipino imagination and continue to influence Pinoy pop culture.

For fans who have ever wondered what happens behind the art, photos, stories, costumes, or films they enjoy, these sessions offer another way to connect with the creative side of fandom.

THE STAGE IS YOURS

Geek+Pop will also feature an Open Stage Hour, giving selected performers who sign up an opportunity to perform in front of the Geek+Pop audience.

It is another example of the event putting the community at the center.

Here, fandom is not just something to watch.

It is something people can actively participate in.

COSPLAY, PHOTOGRAPHY, AND THE ART OF THE SHOT

The Geek+Pop Cosplay Photo Battle will once again bring together talented cosplayers and photographers for a competition centered on creativity, character, photography, and visual storytelling.

Attendees can also check out a special photo exhibit featuring previous winners and Top 10 finalists, highlighting standout images from past competitions.

The exhibit celebrates more than the final photographs. It also gives visitors a look at the creative community that has grown around cosplay photography.

A SPECIAL FAN MOMENT WITH FORMER MNL48 MEMBERS

Adding another attraction to the weekend, former members of MNL48 will be at Geek+Pop for a special Handshake with fans and supporters.

It is another example of how the event stretches beyond one specific fandom.

TCGs, toys, music, cosplay, art, gaming, photography, and pop culture all find a place at Geek+Pop, creating a gathering where different communities can overlap.

THE FIRST. THE BIGGEST. AND STILL GROWING.

When Geek+Pop launched its card show, the Philippine TCG and collectibles landscape looked very different.

It was the first card show in the country, creating a dedicated gathering for a community that has since grown dramatically. Other card shows eventually followed, helping establish trading card culture as a major part of the Philippine collectibles and gaming scene.

Geek+Pop has continued to evolve alongside that community.

Its third Philippine International Collectibles and Card Show now brings together over 200 TCG sellers, major brands, competitive TCG tournaments, fighting game tournaments, free-to-play video games, artists, children's activities, creative communities, performers, cosplayers, photographers, special guests, and pop culture fans for one packed weekend.

That makes Geek+Pop more than a card show.

It is a place to discover something new, meet people who share the same interests, support Filipino creators, compete, play, collect, and celebrate the things that make fandom fun in the first place.

Whether you are a longtime collector, a casual fan, a gamer, a toy enthusiast, a cosplayer, an artist, or someone simply curious about the local pop culture community, there is a good chance you will find something worth checking out.
