Komiket, a space for all types of creators—from handmade toy makers to sticker designers—aims to expand the local komiks community by welcoming a wide variety of artistic expressions. The event provided an ideal platform for Alpas Pinas to connect with young attendees, sharing information about nuclear energy while distributing specially designed stickers created by young artists who support the advocacy.
