This is my haul, which includes: . - Kabuwanan anthology by @haliyapublishing . - La Mujer Filipina zine by @deadbalagtas . - Uwian female/female anthology by @catgablin . - Nagmamahal, Maria Clara 1 and 2 comics, and stickers by @marianieart . - UGH postcards by @hulyen I received some other stuff but they're gifts so I'll include them in a different haul post. Swipe to have a closer look at the merch and see inside the comics. I tagged the respective creators so you can feel free to contact them if you missed the event and want to get any of these items. . . Were you able to go to the GGSSG event? What's in your haul?

As mentioned in one of the captions above, this kind of event is a great for readers like me who are interested in supporting local female authors and artists and komikeras. I hope there will be more like it in the future!
