T3 Mag Philippines to continue publication

Contrary to rumors going around for months, T3 Magazine Philippines will not be shutting down their publication. However, there will be some downsizing of sorts in terms of manpower and frequency, according to an email from the Deputy Managing Editor of T3.

1. T3 magazine Philippines is not shutting down. Summit Media will be publishing the magazine three times in a year, every year. The three issues are yet to be determined, but will happen in summer, mid-year, and Christmas.

2. The magazine will be bigger with significantly different content.

3. The website (www.t3online.com.ph) is the new core of T3. Please stand by for the grand re-launching.

Vince Sales will still be the Editor-in-Chief while Elijah Mendoza is the Deputy Managing Editor. Looks like T3 will be focusing more on their online content rather than print. It remains to be seen if the 3-issues-a-year model will work in the Philippines but T3 has some hard-core followers that will be glad to get a dose of their favorite tech mag.

T3 Magazine is one of the many titles under the Summit Media Publishing Group. Earlier rumors in the PhilMug forums indicate that Summit was dropping T3, Marie Claire and SevenTeen from its roster.

Their writing mimics the British version too much, especially the Top Gear TV show.

Wanting to subscribe, I dropped by the summit site last month to send my particulars…T3 wasn’t on the list. Dropped summit an email, which was surprisingly immediately answered … “we don’t carry T3 anymore”.

I thought that was weird. These things are increasingly hard to find (I look for them at gasoline convenience stores now). I mean, If they’re “gone”, they must’ve been sold, right?

So I buy the latest issue, and somehow doubled on the editorial page, asking “Are these the same people from last January?”. Typos everywhere. Bad reviews. Unintelligible comments. Poor feature choices. Tragic.

Some guy in the letters section of that issue was asking about a color tone problem with his macbook pro (confirmed by several side-by-sides), and T3 answered something with like “yeah, color tone preference is different for each person”, which to me was like telling the poor guy to stop whining, and live with a yellow screen…forget the 100++ grand tag on the thing. Irritating stuff, to be quite honest.

So I felt something was wrong, and since then have said goodbye to arguably the best gad-mag of the country. It will be missed.

We can all go ahead and wait for “YugaTimes Monthly” instead. God bless you Abe. (hint, hint)

What the F***? Only 3 issues in a year?! Noooooo! That’s the reason why there’s no T3 in 7-11 and NBS. Why why why? T3 is my favorite tech mag! When I went to NBS at MegaMall I saw a T3 but printed in UK and men the price is 599! Thanks for the info sir Abe
