There are so many Manila Pen Show 2025 exclusives being announced that it is quite difficult to keep tabs. So, we did the hard work (twice, because the first one was not autosaved) so you don’t have to, listing all pens and inks launching this weekend. Special thanks goes to Plumang Pinoy for helping us verify this list!
If you like this, show us some love on Instagram, yes? If we missed anything, let us know there us well.
Here we go!

Vinta
In Bukidnon’s creation myth, three deities worked together to create haldan ta paraiso (garden of paradise). Vinta’s show-exclusive ink this year, Umber/Haldan 1986, is inspired by this story, featuring “a burnt sienna base and ivy green sheen, topped with a mixed-metallic shimmer that flashes with sparks of blue and copper.”
