I had dinner and some drinks with the members of the CampV5 mailing list. John Paras was in town from the States and Abet Anido was there too to meet the CampV5 guys face to face for the first time. We ate at Racks, El Pueblo, the traditional meeting place of the group since the late 90s. We also drank at Congo Grille after.
CampV5 is one of the oldest online anime fandom groups in the Philippines (I think the oldest is mechapinoy, but I'm not sure). The main concern of the group is Super Robots, Voltes V in particular. The members were also instrumental in the resurgence of interest in anime in the late 90s and early 2000s, a lot of them went on to be part of the local as well as international anime and manga industry. Not bad for an anime fandom group. :D
