So it looks like the iPad 2 will be officially released in the Philippines this Friday. Now, that’s way earlier than what we expected before. Power Mac Center revealed the local launch date thru their FB page.
Apple PR has not yet responded to our emails for confirmation but an earlier release indicated 13 more countries will get the iPad 2 this April 29, 2011.
The final pricing of the iPad 2 is yet to be announced but we’ll surely know once as Friday nears. If anything else, I expect it to be the same the the suggested retail price of the first iPad.
iPad 2 Prices (estimated)
16GB WiFi – Php23,990USD 409INR 34,656EUR 389CNY 2,977
32GB WiFi – Php28,990USD 494INR 41,879EUR 471CNY 3,598
64GB WiFi – Php33,990USD 579INR 49,102EUR 552CNY 4,218
16GB 3G+WiFi – Php30,990USD 528INR 44,768EUR 503CNY 3,846
32GB 3G+WiFi – Php35,990USD 613INR 51,991EUR 584CNY 4,466
64GB 3G+WiFi – Php40,990USD 698INR 59,214EUR 665CNY 5,087

Update: Power Mac Center has pulled out the post on their FB page. Apple PR is very strict about messaging and communications. That FB post has pre-empted Apple in making the announcement. As a premium reseller, Power Mac Center might have violated some Apple policy of sorts.
Update 2: Power Mac rep sent us an email to clarify this announcement. We’ve been asked to remove the statement.
Update 3: Here’s what Power Mac Center posted in their FB Wall instead.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience that may have been caused by our earlier post on the iPad 2 availability. Rest assured that Power Mac Center did not breach any protocol which may result in a delay in the imminent arrival of this device in our stores or the country. We are waiting with you for the launch of this exciting product. Thank you!

I’ve heard that they will only be releasing a few number of ipad2s on Friday. Acording to PowerMac, they will be allowing overnight campers on Thursday. It sucks, since I have tons of deadlines on Friday and I can’t take a leave or anything just to buy one.. Sana may maabutan pa ako dun on Saturday. =(
Joel says:
This is great news to stop all those crazy prices being offered by iPad 2 sellers out there. This release will stop you’re profiteering rackets!

stfu you spammer you
sylv3rblade says:
I wonder if the Ashop will start carrying them as well
Messie says:
According to a very reliable source, this also holds true to other premium apple resellers here in the Philippines. So this is also applicable to Digital Walker, A.Shop, and iStudio. Unfortunately, as in Digital Walker’s case (I called them already), they will only be releasing the ipad2 in 3 branches: Market Market, Galleria, and Robinsons Place Ermita.
Messie says:
May I say:
“HAHA! to those shops/sellers selling the ipad2 at 5-10k+ of the SRP!
Since Apple will be officially launching it here in the Philippines, then you have no choice but to bring down your prices. =P
Jologs says:
I have the same thoughts! HAHAHAHAHA!!! Buti nga sa kanila. Sobra sila mantaga sa presyo, akala siguro nila after 9 months uli ang release. Hehehehe.
honeycomb says:
ang naisip ko naman eh kawawa mga nagpauto sa mamahaling ipad2.
Jologs says:
Ay oo nga! Mas kawawa pala sila. Kaya my principle will always be, wait for all the hype to go down and for the official rlease. That way you get the maximum value for your money and you don’t feed those greedy sellers. Hehehe.

Good to hear Apple will debut their Ipad 2 in the Philippines earlier than expected.
Calvin says:
tinanggal ng PMC yung sa wall post nila?
Messie says:
Oo nga ano. I hope it doesn’t mean the launch won’t push through. I have friends who dropped by Powermac yesterday and it was confirmed naman. The people from Digital Walker na tinawagan ko said that it will be out by the end of April.
sylv3rblade says:
Thanks for the tip. I’ll drop by the A.shop in a bit for a bit :)
gadgetboi says:
Good news for iPad fans in the Philippines. New iPad. Improved. With cameras and new other stuff.
Carlo says:
Power Mac Center: Oopppsssss…..
That Guy says:
PMC really likes deleting stuff on their FB page (from posts to comments…) lol ;) :))
Edwin says:
Wow! It’s earlier this time. Good for the Philippines.
