NOT ONLY IN JAPAN THAT TANABATA IS BEING CELEBRATED, IIT IS BASIALLY CELEBRATED ASWELL HERE IN THE PHILIPPINES, BUT MOSTLY AS AN ANIME EVENT. 

THE EVENT WAS MADE POSSIBLE BY OZINE EVENTS. 

THEY WERE STAGE PROGRAMS AND OFCOURSE THE CHARITY AUCTION, PEOPLE BID ANIME ITEMS FROM THE MERCHANTS THAT IN RETURN WILL GIVE A PORTION OF THE EARNING TO THE COMMUNITY. I WENT TO THE EVENT BY GETTING ON A TRAIN THEN TRANSFERRED TO A TRAIN AGAIN THEN HAD TO TAKE A TRICYCLE, LIKE A TUK-TUK IN THAILAND.

HERE ARE SOME OF THE SNIPETS FROM THE EVENT. I ALSO INCLUDED MY LUNCH FOR THE EVENT
