We have received a handful of inquiries regarding the upcoming KPOP and Culture Fest. The core members of Big Bang Philippines came up with a decision not to participate in the said event. We did get an invitation to join the event, and we are more than pleased to hear that. However, with KPOP Convention 2 coming up later this year and other fan club activities and projects which were already planned beforehand, it would be tedious and costly for the fan club and core. Trying to put up a Big Bang Philippines / VIP Philippines booth takes a lot of time, effort and resources. Participation and involvement in events like this need careful planning and preparation, and we feel that there is enough time to be able to prepare everything that we will be needing.

With this decision to not participate in the event, we would like to make it clear that we are not preventing anyone from going. It will still be up to the members whether they would like to attend the said event or not. You may go if you want to. As they said, it is not just about KPOP but the entire Korean Culture. Take it as an advantage to learn more about the Korean Culture and other Korean artists.

Please be aware that we have been using both Big Bang Philippines AND VIP Philippines as our fan club names. In the case that there is a Big Bang-related booth at the KPOP and Culture Fest referring to themselves as either of these names, we are not affiliated with them in anyway whatsoever.

We are proud to be the first and only fan club for Big Bang in the Philippines since January 4, 2008. And we are very thankful and grateful towards our members! Please continue to support our future fan club events and projects.

Thank you very much!

From the Big Bang / VIP Philippines Core

Hello Filipino VIPs! ^^ This is two days late, but on behalf of everyone in the core and crew/staff we would like to thank all of those who were present last May 8th and supported Big Bang Philippines’ 5th Gathering! ^^

This was the first time we did a screening, because our previous gatherings have been different, and so we are very happy with the turn out~ Thank you to the FC heads/core members from Triple S Philippines, 2NE1 Philippines, 2ONEDay Philippines, Wonderful Philippines and Primadonna Philippines for being there! Also to our new members and to the new BigBang fans who came ^^

Despite the heat and lack of space (we really did not expect the number of attendees!^^;), everyone still cooperated and participated, for this we are really thankful! ^^

Please continue to support BigBang and BigBang Philippines in our future activities and projects. We vow to work hard and give you our best!<3^^

BBPH FAMILY, FIGHTING! ^-^

P.S. We forgot to take a group photo with everyone! /headdesks We were so overwhelmed with the number of attendees that it slipped our minds; Again, thank you! And next time, let’s take a photo of everyone togetherr! <3

MAP TO TROPICANA HOTEL:

How to go to Tropicana Hotel:
Option 1: by MRT-LRT

If you’re accessible accessible to any LRT station (be it LRT 1, 2. or 3), you will not have a hard time going to the venue.

If you’re riding LRT 3 (MRT – EDSA route), you should get off at Taft Station – it’s the last station. Then transfer to LRT 1 (Manila Line) EDSA Station and ride the train going to Monumento and get off at Pedro Gil Station. Pedro Gil is the station nearest the venue. Then get off the station and walk along Pedro Gil street. Papasok yun, going to Robinson’s Ermita. Then find the street Luis M. Guerero, turn left then you’ll see Tropicana Hotel. Yung corner building ng Luis M. Guerero is St. Paul Manila. So, hard to miss yung street.

Or if you’re riding LRT 2 (Aurora-Recto Route), then get off at Recto station then transfer to LRT 1 (Manila Route) and ride the train going to Baclaran then get off at Pedro Gil Station. Pedro Gil is the station nearest the venue. Then get off the station and walk along Pedro Gil street. Papasok yun, going to Robinson’s Ermita. Then find the street Luis M. Guerero, turn left then you’ll see Tropicana Hotel. Yung corner building ng Luis M. Guerero is St. Paul Manila. So, hard to miss yung street.

Option 2: by Jeep

Just ride any jeep that’s going to TAFT, Lawton, City Hall. If you’re coming from E. Rodriguez, meron dun. There are also jeeps with that route that’s passing by Quezon Ave. Just ask the driver if he’s going to pass by Pedro Gil. Pedro Gil is a pretty popular street so alam ng mga drivers yan. Pedro Gil is the station nearest the venue. Walk along Pedro Gil street. Papasok yun, going to Robinson’s Ermita. Then find the street Luis M. Guerero (sa bandang left), turn left then you’ll see Tropicana Hotel. Yung corner building ng Luis M. Guerero is St. Paul Manila. So, hard to miss yung street.

^^ We hope everyone gets to the venue safely! ~ Feel free to print the map and text guide so you can use it on the way there!
