POF 2023 brings environmental advocacy to pop culture

PINOY Otaku Festival (POF) is making a comeback this 2023, and they are bringing environmental advocacy to pop culture events through Pinoy Otaku Festival (POF) 2023: Shizen on May 19-21, 2023, at the Robinsons Novaliches Trade Hall in Novaliches, Quezon City. Since the inception of POF in 2013, it has always tried to be an event for a cause and contribute to positivity and good vibes within the Japanese pop culture community.

They have booths promoting environmental advocacies like Ada Straws, which offers an eco-friendly solution to replace plastic straws, and Bayanihan Para Sa Kalikasan Movement, a socio-civic organization that promotes activities like reforestation, leadership training, and environmental camps. For the Otaku Choice Awards 2023, there will be a tribute to anime music focused on the environment.
