Holiday bazaars have always been a staple shopping destination during the Christmas season . These events feature various options from toys and trinkets to RTW’s and food products that are locally made and proudly Filipino. People come to these bazaars for last-minute shopping and to find gifts that are perfect as either presents to their loved ones, or pasalubong for their balik-bayan friends or relatives. However, the problem that most holiday bazaars face is that they need to bring in something new and refreshing every year which would entice people to come over and shop. The World Bazaar Festival aims to break this stigma of bazaars and plans on being the “one-stop shop” for holiday fun and bringing something unique every year! The World Bazaar Festival (WBF) is the biggest and most festive charity bazaar in the Philippines, and it is open for everyone of all ages. Visitors are drawn towards the World Bazaar Festival for exclusive discounts and unique items that are perfect as Christmas gifts. On the other hand, visitors have also come to the bazaar to see the exciting activities and shows that we have prepared for everyone to watch. There are many things that make the World Bazaar Festival very distinct from the rest of the known holiday bazaars. One key difference is the variety of products that World Bazaar Festival offers, from beauty products, accessories and perfumes to shoes, electronics, home decors and even gifts for your fur babies! Another aspect that makes WBF stand out from the rest of the holiday bazaars is the wide range of activities that occur during the 10 days of the event. Aside from the different exhibitors and sellers present at the World Bazaar Festival, Worldbex Services International (WSI) has lots of planned shows and competitions. These activities, such as the POP Diva and Woobie’s CosWalk, are sure to make visitors excited for these unique events not found in any other bazaar in the Philippines. The World Bazaar Festival also boasts its interactive live-streaming online show called “Jingle Mingle”, a show that gives a shining spotlight to the different exhibitors present in the bazaar, giving them a platform to advertise and showcase their goods for visitors to be excited for. This type of format was never present in any other holiday event, making the World Bazaar Festival a trailblazer in creating a new way for online interaction. The World Bazaar Festival is changing the culture of how bazaars are done in the Philippines, satisfying the Filipino trait of impulse buying during the holidays and adding unique experiences for bazaaristas to enjoy. This bazaar will make you believe that you deserve to have more and make the best out of the holiday season. So SHOP ALL THE WAY because you deserve this! Experience a new way to shop at the World Bazaar Festival 2024, happening at the World Trade Center Metro Manila from December 13 to 22, 2024!

As the Korean Cultural Center in the Philippines (KCC) continues its mission to bridge cultures and foster deeper understanding between Korea and the Philippines, this September, KCC proudly presents two significant events that spotlight the beauty and significance of Hangeul —the Korean alphabet—and its lasting impact on modern literature. Hangeul Design Project: Reinterpreting Hangeul in the Modern Era Running from September 6, 2024, to February 28, 2025, at the Korean Cultural Center, the "Hangeul Design Project: Reinterpreting Hangeul in the Modern Era" invites visitors to explore Hangeul's timelessness and its modern-day interpretations. Held in partnership with the National Hangeul Museum, this exhibit is a tribute to the 75 years of friendship between Korea and the Philippines. It aims to spark a deeper interest among Filipinos in Korean culture by showcasing Hangeul in various art forms. From traditional calligraphy to contemporary art, the exhibit will highlight the adaptability of Hangeul, which was created in 1443, to convey new ideas and knowledge across different mediums. One of the exhibit's highlights is the integration of Hangeul with other foreign languages, offering an engaging and accessible perspective on the Korean alphabet. The exhibit is free and open to the public from 9 AM to 4 PM. In addition to the exhibit, KCC has organized a series of performances and workshops to enhance the experience. On September 6, at 3:30 PM, a special traditional performance will take place in the exhibit hall, followed by a calligraphy workshop series starting in October and running until February. Those interested in the workshops can visit Korean Cultural Center in the Philippines (Facebook) or @kccphil (Instagram) for more details on how to join. Conversations with Park Sang Young: Finding Your Love in the Big City In another exciting event, KCC is thrilled to bring Park Sang Young, the author of the 2022 International Booker Prize Longlisted, “Love in the Big City”, to the Philippines. As the novel's highly anticipated movie adaptation, starring Kim Go Eun ( Goblin , Exhuma ) and Noh Sang Hyun ( Pachinko ), set to hit the big screen this year, this event offers Filipino readers a unique opportunity to meet the author behind the story. From September 11 to 15, 2024, KCC, in partnership with National Book Store, will participate in the Manila International Book Fair at the SMX Convention Center in Pasay. Park Sang Young will hold a meet-and-greet and book signing on September 14, allowing fans to interact with the acclaimed author. Additionally, on September 13, 2024, a special "Conversations with the Author" event will take place at the Rizal Library of Ateneo de Manila University. This intimate session will allow readers to delve into the themes of love, identity, and urban life that permeate Park Sang Young's work. Interested participants can register for this event at bit.ly/ConversationsWithParkSangYoung . Join us this September as we embark on a cultural journey that spans from reinterpreting the age-old beauty of Hangeul to discovering love in the vibrant landscape of the big city!

Entry to concerts is set to get a whole lot tougher from 2025, with HYBE ready to set up facial recognition cameras for all of its concerts. Here is what we know so far! Image: Tekedia.com HYBE is a leading South Korean entertainment company, and from 2025, they have announced their cutting-edge plans to introduce facial recognition technology for all of their concerts. So what is the new system all about? This new system will come as part of a newly modified package called 'Face Pass', and it will debut at a TWS fan meeting in February 2025, with the overall aim of streamlining the entry process to the venue. This new system is part of a collaboration with Toss and InterparkTriple in order to stop ticket touts and the re-selling of tickets through biometric verification. Not everybody is happy! Following this news, members of the K-pop community have expressed their outrage and overall opinions on the new facial recognition technology which will soon come into play. One of the main concerns is data privacy, and the collection of biometric data, which also leads to broader concerns about the information that HYBE and their collaboratives partners will have, and how the information will be used and if it will be sold. HYBE will need to address these privacy concerns as it moves forward with their face pass system. People have been quick to take to social media in order to express their outrage on this new system. Not all musicians agree The fast development of Face Pass represents part of a growing trend in the entertainment industry both in Korea and abroad, where venues and organizers are turning to automated technology in their venues in order to gain control. This has caused a pushback where some musicians actively oppose the use of facial recognition at their concerts due to liabilities and privacy concerns and rightly so. Will this new facial recognition system put people off from going to concerts in the future? Will it make them safer for attendees? Or will this new face pass system just be a way for HYBE and other companies to obtain personal data? These are all questions that need to be addressed.
