Apple today officially released the iPad in the Philippines. The Apple Philippines Online Store are now selling them, starting at Php23,990 for the entry-level WiFi model.
You should see units on display on local Apple Resellers as well with the same pricing as the online store (Apple’s very strict about pricing).
However, if you’re looking to get some educational discounts, the iCampus Store in Ateneo offers them a bit lower.
If you order them online, it will take 3 to 5 days shipping. However, you also have the option to have it laser-engraved thru that channel.
We did a little survey here asking readers if the local release of the iPad in the Philippines was a good timing. It’s probably one of the “most delayed” Apple device to officially hit the country from the time it’s announced (the iPhone 4 even beat it to the line).

Sorry, I meant a separate 3G access *device*…
Judge for yourself: A Huawei E5 pocket mifi (reviewed here, at http://www.yugatech.com/blog/daily-dose/huawei-e5-%E2%80%9Cpocket-mifi%E2%80%9D-review/) is less than P6,000 whereas the diff between the WiFi and the WiFi+3G is P7,000. A separate 3G access may be a disadvantage but one I for one am willing to live with.
