CEL Manila 2009 is on its second day, and it’s time that you dropped by! The consumer electronics exhibit by Summit Live! only happens once a year, so it would be a shame to miss out on all the amazing products and promos. Here’s what’s on the agenda for today and tomorrow.

Today marks the first day of the metro’s electronic weekend , as CEL Manila 2009 opens its doors to techies from all over the city. The 3-day consumer electronics exposition by Summit Live! shows no sign of slowing down, with an impressive turnout of over 60 exciting brands and exhibitors.

The effect of such a gathering can be quite overwhelming—as I discovered upon entering the World Trade Center in Pasay City, where the exposition is being held. Computers, cameras, cars, and even a mini plane flank you on either side; screens are flashing everywhere; the smell of newly packaged technology pervades the air-conditioned space. In short, it is any electronics enthusiast’s idea of heaven.

What surprised me, however, was the variety of products (and promos) found at the site. While the phrase “There’s something for everyone,” may sound a bit trite, it certainly applies to this particular exhibit. It’s got gadgets and gizmos a-plenty, to be sure, but even a non-techie like me could spot some cool deals from the spread. Here are my 5 top finds from CEL Manila 2009.

Here’s a treat for the techie in you! For the second year in a row, Summit Media’s exhibition arm Summit Live! is proud to present the world-class electronic exposition that’s got technophiles in a tizzy—Consumer Electronics Live! (CEL) Manila 2009.
