Mango Comics is a Tagaytay-based comic book company, publishers of the National Book Award-winning Mars Ravelo’s Darna, as well as the comic update of Mars Ravelo’s Lastikman. Our current titles include the bi-monthly Mwahaha comic humor magazine; MooMoo Hunters, our edutainment title for kids; and Mango Jam, the country’s first and only all-girl anime-inspired comic magazine.

Mango Jam is a celebration of girl power. Each bi-monthly issue has four stories written by award-winning female writers and drawn by dynamic young female artists in the popular manga style. Key members of the production staff, including the Editor-in-Chief, Art Directors, and Production Manager, are girls. With interviews featuring girl achievers as well as informative articles that encourage pro-activity, Mango Jam is intended to inspire and encourage young Filipinas to be the best that they can be.

Let me just give you a little more inside info:

1. We are distributed in all NBS nationwide and in Metro Manila & Caraga Region (Butuan, Iligan,Cagayan de Oro) (78 NBS outlets todate), comic shops and magazine stands. Also in CCP Museum Shop and MuseoPambata. But our ace is our direct sales. We are distributed in schools: St. Scholastica, St. Paul, JASMS, St. Anthony and more soon. Comic sales in other schools like Assumption, Poveda, PCU, St. Jude, Holy Spirit is under negotiation but we already have a strong following there because of our recent "Girl Power" campus circuit tour. In fact, though we are not yet formally in their book stores, we have been asked to deliver our comics there because the girls have been looking for them. Fortunately, educators have started endorsing the product and have asked us to revisit their schools.

2. Based on fan mail (email, text, P.O. Box, and snail mail to Tagaytay) and our observations in the school tours, our readers are girls and (even some) boys ages 9 to 14, belong to the AB & upper C economic class, are smart and articulate. Many are quite artistic. We even have fans among young working girls - writers and artists - freelance and employed.

3. Readers of Jam are a wide assortment because they respond and are probably captivated by the spectrum of stories and characters in it -Leaves of Glaz (fantasy), Kali (action), Mish Chief(adventure), Twilight's Calling (teen romance).

For this year, we are now preparing our Mango Jam Girl Power Tour for school year 2006-2007. As we had done last school year, Mango Jam will be visiting selected Metro Manila schools with the following objectives:
• To reinforce positive values in young Filipinas such as academic excellence, literacy, healthy living, civic awareness, and family.
• To promote 'Girl Power'
• To promote national heritage

We will be bringing to schools a two- to three-hour fun activity program that we tailor-fit to what the school wants their students to learn or imbibe.

We also have scheduled events:
• October or November 2006, we will be bringing Mango Jam to SM Megamall
• March 2007, Mango Jam will celebrate its 3rd year anniversary at SM Mall of Asia.

We see a perfect fit between Mango Jam and your products. In this regard, we would like to invite Juicy Cologne to place advertisement and be a part of Mango Jam Girl Power School Tour (this is included in the package if you place 3 ads) or you can join our Mall Events in October 2006 and March 2007.

We would like to request for a meeting to explore possible partnerships and to answer your questions.

Thanks and we hope to hear from you soon

Best regards,
