Planning to go malling today or this weekend? Don’t forget to swing by the SM Mall of Asia (just “MOA” to many) in Pasay City, and head over to the SMX Convention Center. Why? The very first Consumer Electronics Live! (CEL) Manila begins today and will run until Sunday, October 26.

It’s your opportunity to take a look (ogle is more like it) at the latest and trendiest gadgets and gizmos from top brands like Apple/ Senco, Canon, HP, LG Electronics, Nokia, Samsung, Sony, as well as Alpine, BMW, Bose, Creative, Fuji Xerox, JBL, Lucerne, Mazda, Myphone, Sennheiser and Western Digital. How often do you get all these brands exhibited under one big roof? (They’re occupying Halls 1-4 of the SMX Convention Center — if you don’t want to get lost, check out the exhibit layout plan.)

Not only that, if you’re an early Christmas shopper or if you’re simply browsing around, you can get up to 70% discounts on selected items as well as a chance to win in the daily gadget raffle. Not bad, huh? And if you bring a copy of the October issue of T3, you’ll get in for free! (Entrance fee is PhP50.)

Summit Live!, the events arm of Summit Media Philippines, publisher of popular magazines T3, FHM, Seventeen, Entrepreneur, and several other titles, is behind this premiere event.
