Posted by 
November 3, 2008 •
What: Hataw Hanep Hero – The Amped Edition (AKA H4 or Hataw Hanep Hero 2008
When: November 21-22, 2008 (Friday and Saturday, YEP FRIDAY)
Where: Silver City Mall. Where the hell is that? Look at the sitemap below
Update: I just saw an announcement from Hero TV. It seems that the schedule for Hero 4 is 6 pm on November 21 and 10 pm on November 22…. WTH!?!?!??!
Update 2: Confirmed schedule is as follows:
November 21: 6pm
November 22: 10am
Update 3: Activities have been added
HERO TV, of Creative Programs, Inc., a subsidiary of ABS-CBN, is a cable channel that features the craziest, funniest and the latest cartoons, youth-oriented programs, and anime shows. It was launched on October 1, 2005 in Metro Manila and is one of the highest-rating
cable channels in the country.On November 21 and 22, Hero TV will be having Hataw Hanep Hero – The Amped Edition, the biggest and the grandest and the most anticipated youth fair in the country. Now on its fourth year, H3 partners with ABS CBN Interactive’s gaming team, AMPED – the group behind Warrock, Tantra, Getamped, Cronus and Ngage – to give the event an exciting and dynamic youth event highlighting their myriad of interests – from music to technology, sports, arts and fashion.
The first Hataw Hanep Hero was held at the Philippine Trade Training Center with a crowd of 15,000-strong. Last year, we took over the the SMX Convention Centre, where 20,000 anime and cartoon fans gathered in their finest costumes and fiercest game faces. Hero, together with Amped, is set to make this year’s event become the ultimate anime and youth entertainment fair in the country.
Hero 2006 and 2007 was quite memorable although more so than the last for a number of reasons. I wonder what’s in stored for the cosplayers this time around. I’ve been hearing several rumors and talks within the cosplay community about this years event not the mention the controversies (or so they say) surrounding past events.
As you can see, there’s very little information released to the public so far. Time seems to have changed things with the much awaited event. Guess we’ll just have to go and find out for ourselves.
How to get to Silver City Mall:
From North Bound lane of edsa turn right to intersection where Edsa Shrine is (beside Rob Galleria). That road will pass thru Meralco , Medical City , Home Depot , vicinity of Valle Verde and last, there’s this village looking entrance with fountain & a big round monument thingy… turn right to that road (you’re now entering tiendesitas). this comes BEFORE the intersection with the overpass…
Then just go straight you’ll see SM Hypermarket on the left & on the right side is Silver City (it’s just the building across SM) it looks like a smaller version of SMX… ^-^another route will be if you’re coming from Q, UP diliman, Mirriam College & Ateneo (along katipunan ave), Blue Ridge village, Eastwood City, then go straight and you’ll end up seeing the intersection with overpass & then Tiendesitas then next to it ung SM Hepermarket. Don’t turn left din, you might get lost and end up in Marikina
For those who want a printable map, here’s something cooked up by Ichiraku for you.

that’s behind tiendesitas and sm hypermart along C-5. considering that it looks like preparations and announcements are kinda last minute, i would much rather go to the komikon.
@biankita:
yeah.. I’m having second thoughts about the event too. That reminds me, I need to make a blog post about Komikon
Wow! Word of “mouth” (or should I say “forums”) lang ang PR. Walang gastos masyado. Sana nga may official word galing Creative Programs or HERO TV. Pero kung may plugs na sa anime channel, it must be confirmed. Sayang at kasabay ng KOMIKON (may exhibitor table kami doon). Mahahati ang convention goers. Yun nga lang, ang die hard anime fans sa H3, comics fans sa KOMIKON.
@Jonathan:
Personally I’m more inclined to go to Komikon now down H4. No word if Team Kyoudou will still handle the cosplay proper and everybody knows they’re the people to call with regards to said activities.
Majority of fans may get lost since the venue isn’t really familiar and a first for those who haven’t been around eastwood. Really, they should have announced the event/venue last October.
Anyone interested should scout the route earlier to avoid falling victim to “lost woods” effect.
Oh noes.
Komikon is on the 22nd, right? I think I’ll go to the Hero Con on the 21st and then the KOMIKON the next day. We have a booth there and we were supposed to pass our own piece but no thanks to college life, our work has been left in the dust.
These things are good, anyway :D. Can’t wait! And I say I’ll save up to just taxi my way to there hehe
@yue:
couple that with the announcement of the schedule.. I think H4’s gonna flop this year
@maiapot:
be sure to read the update on the schedule
Is it official already if you can reserve your tickets via Ticketnet?
http://www.ticketnet.com.ph/2006/detail.php?eid=990&res=Y
haiz.. last minute ei.. I thought it would be on december but they moved it to nov21-22. There aren’t much information about the convention. NO cosplay registrations.. no contests.. They are lacking of information T.T..
@Mariz:
yep.. did you notice the time of the event?
@yumi:
yep.. they’ve been relying on word of mouth
what’s worse is that if you look at ticketnet AND the tv ad for Hero 4, the schedule is 6pm for Nov 21 and 10pm for Nov 22. Cosplay at night?
@yumi
just saw registration mechanics on a commercial earlier for individual and group cosplay.. registration will be on the 22nd at 6pm. cant give full details since it just flashed quickly.
A lot of us are planning to boycott this event. For the following reasons:
1. Tiendesitas / Silvercity is not a common place for an event. More so, the location is tough to travel at unless you have a car. FX and jeeps are tad rare at night.
2. The date of events are awkward. Friday 6pm? After work? The working people are already tired, and the children are gonna rest from a busy school day. The saturday is forgivable, but still…
3. Last minute scheduling, lack of event information. (Teasers in TV ads from Hero channel only, word of mouth, forums, etc)
4. ABS-CBN decided to directly manage the event, instead of Hero TV’s own team. To be frank, ABS has no prior experience regarding this type of event.
5. Follow up to number 4, would you attend an anime event organized by a channel that declares “Kung-Fu Kids” a LIVE ACTION ANIME? (a previous kiddie/fantasy/soap in their primetime block, after the news)
@somerandomguy:
From the start, I’m afraid to say that there’s quite a lot of poor planning on Hero’s part with this year’s event. A lot of the recent conventions were really great, AniCon (although I enjoyed it mostly because PinoyPSP was there) OtakonEK and Toycon were big successes so having Hero con crumbling before the actual event is really sad. I do hope ABS gets their act straight for the sake of the event goers.
Thanks for the bit of info.
naku, dadami ang mga mag ttaxi nito. haahah
dapat early mg release ng info.. ilang araw nalang..
RAWR
nakaklungkot isipin na ABSCBN ay magaling naman sa marketing pero bakit palpak sa Hero Con.
komikon > hataw hanep hero…
i’d rather go to an event made with love by fans than a corporate machine. no doubt because of the last minute-ness of this event, ABS-CBN will hire the best logistics team they could find who wouldn’t know jack about the subculture.
@Jonathan: i think you have it wrong. hataw hanep hero will be for newbie fans and kids. more seasoned con goers would be bound to opt for the komikon or not go at all.
Bakit ba Friday? May klase pa yung mga estudyante!
phew nakakaligaw ung area… Umm to the one who posted this, sir/mam kindly change the Amped Games Lineup (Warrock, Tantra, Amped, Cronus and Ngage) pakichange ung Amped to GetAmped, thanks po… 3d character editing/Fighting Game cya 🙂

Huh? Bat parang lahat ng activites kelangan sa November 22? Edi useless na yung November 21. Tignan niyo, “Participants should be at the start of the event which is on November 22 for registration.” Yan yung sa Indiv. cosplay, pero most of them on the said date as well.
WHAT THE HECK!!@#!
Good! More info about the event. I hope they release the rules for cosplay soon. My nephew wants to participate. It’s jus sad I can’t be there. I’ll be at KOMIKON.
@souloverdrive:

@Jonathan:
kitakits na lang po sa KOMIKON
I wonder what day is the cosplay for both individual and group!
Thanks for the map! Haha
@bluekarlo:
The Individual&Group Cosplay will be on November 22…
Just received an email from Hero TV regarding Ohayoo Division pre-registration (because of my nephew). There is no pre-registration for that division. On-site only, Nov. 22, 10 am.

where can we buy tickets?
you can buy tickets in any Mall or Super Malls that offers tickets from ticketnet… i got mine at SM, just go to their customer service section and ask if they still got some… hindi ko lang alam kung natanggap pa din ang ticket net ng reservation kasi bukas na ung event… so, its much better to ask in malls… kung wala, if i remember right, my friend told me na sa ticket world daw xa bumili…
gomen nasai, sabi ng friend ko 22-23 nakita daw ksi nya sa abs cbn…
o Group Cosplay (minimum of 6 and maximum of 15)
Minimum of 6 and maximum of 15 participants
On site registration only
Contestants should bring photos of their characters
Registration is until 12nn only
Criteria for Groups Cosplay:
Costume – 25%
Theme – 25%
Choreography – 20%
Over-all Impact – 30%
participants should be at the start of the event which is on November 22 for registration.
As i recall the time limit of each event is 5mins anymore than that will be considered disqualified
but how come everytime i watch and reviewed past group cosplay winner their skits exceed 5mins
And i heard in one of the video of matrixshino{H3 uploader} that extend more than 5mins= disqualified
But the lady in the stage said “Mga group cosplay wag poh kayo lalampas sa 5mins time limit” amazingly the winners are the one who were suppose to be disqualified….” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULMB55YAVNs
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XiMu074PNUM <<<<< over 10mins
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCALpvQgocA <<<<< after the cosplay above [lady requesting for player to not go above 5mins] will this year be anymore different than last year???
If you review all of the past event the win should have gone to the group who followed the rules.
By the way I already know that there is some interview time and going up the stage time even if you minus all of that they still exceed the 5mins deadline
further more i need more detail that is not metioned above
and what are the prizes??
Can you buy tickets in Silver City? Or you have to buy them in a mall? D:
