Trick or Treat Cosplay Halloween at Taguig City Hall

A great number of little heroes and villains in costume flocked Taguig City Hall last October 27, 2017 as the great City of Taguig held a very special Trick or Treat Halloween Event with this year centering more on Cosplay Superheroes and Villains.

These costumed folks came into Taguig City Hall as early as noon for the good old "Trick or Treat" event hoping to go home with a bunch of Halloween treats and candies before the day is over. Thank goodness that  the weather is very cooperative and cloudy enough so that the kids won't suffer from the heat.

This isn't the first time such an event was held in Taguig City Hall Grounds but according to one of the staff, this had more participants and kids with nearly three times more than it was last year. Guess more and more kids and their parents are getting into this Halloween spirit.

Kids are treated to "Treats" as they make their way into the Taguig City Hall as the employers gave them sweets. The City Hall interior is even decorated like a Halloween fun house and some of the employees even dressed up for the occasion.

There was even a contest for the best costume held later that day
with the honorable Mayor of Taguig Lani Cayetano handing the awards and candies to the kids who were all so excited for their treats.

I'm so lucky to be chosen to take part in this event, wearing my Penguin costume and a good friend of mine sir Richie Roxas dressing up as the Riddler to help hand out candies alongside the honorable Lani Cayetano on the stage together with the other costumed staff people of Taguig. 

We even had photos with kids and parents alike as we roam around the Taguig City Hall Grounds and entertain the kids and parents. 

Seeing their faces light up and smiling when they see cosplayers in costume and asking us to take photos with them is always a joy for us cosplayers. 

There's very little magic in the world and it's a great feeling when you can make a kid smile and someone's day a little brighter and be part of that magic.

Halloween is something barely practiced in the Philippines and I'm so glad that it's getting more attention than it had a few years ago or even years before that. It's one of those times where folks and kids can dress up in costume even if they are not cosplayers and just have fun.

It was a tiring day for everyone for both all the staff and the kids and their parents but I'm sure everyone went home with smiles...especially the kids who went home with a basket full of treats and candies.
