February is the National Artist's Month and Sm City Iloilo invited us to be part of the presenters on the last weekend. Last February 25, 2012 was just one of those memorable moments for the Anijins. The theme for that event was Pokemon. Everybody tried their best to be on their Gijinka cosplay.
This was one of those special days Anijins wouldn't easily overlook. There are few reasons why.

The person who made history in the world of Pokemon, Takeshi Shudo died in 2010. He is considered by most of us a VIP. He is the chief writer of the pokemon anime series and three of its movies. As to show our appreciation, we give life to Pokemon who existed from different arcs.
Aside from the tribute for the creator of our most loved anime, it's also the best time of the year to share our passion to people who most likely appreciate art in the form of cosplaying. This day too, was the time that the seat for presidency was officially handed over to Jherben Lagon, the 4th president of the guild by Aiyana Obando, the 3rd president of Anigumi Joukai.
