Tech the season with Cyberzone

Let the festive BER months begin!

Published Oct 20, 2025 03:52 pm
Only in the Philippines does Christmas start in September. The carols play, the Christmas lights go up, and the countdown to the longest holiday season in the world begins.
This year, Cyberzone is joining the festive beat by launching Tech the Season: a month-by-month holiday build-up designed to get Filipinos ready for the most wonderful time of the year with music, stories, and of course, the latest tech and gadget accessories.
September Soundcheck: A Community-Powered Playlist
The celebration is already well under way with September Soundcheck, where our Cyberzone community has been actively dropping their funniest song combos, punniest playlist names, and most unhinged album cover edits.
What kicked off as a simple call for entries has turned into a full-on jam session. September Soundcheck proves that when it comes to the holidays: Filipinos don’t just join in, we set the tone.

From must-have lifestyle gadgets to gaming rigs that level up your play, to smartphones and accessories that keep you connected. Our partners have it all!
