You step into the mall and it surrounds you: the sound of sleigh bells ringing and the holiday crooners singing. Christmas is nearing, and your gift list is getting longer. Head over to the Glorietta Activity Center at the Taiwan Excellence Experience Zone 3 on November 24 to 26, where a plethora of Taiwan’s best brands awaits in an interactive product showcase, all bearing its coveted seal of excellence.

Sponsored by Taiwan’s Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) and Bureau of Foreign Trade (BOFT), the Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA) implements its Taiwan Excellence campaign to promote innovative and superior-quality products, and encourage innovators to continue what they do best: innovating. 

Visitors can get a first-hand experience of products from information and communications technology (ICT), home and living, and sports and leisure. The Experience Zone 3 offers many products that reflect the diverse interests of family members and loved ones. The Tatung Fusion Cooker is a multifunctional cooker and the best kitchen companion for any foodie. The ZenFone 3 Zoom is always selfie-ready with its innovative dual-lens optics and its ƒ/1.7 SONY IMX362 sensor and 2.3x optical zoom camera. And for the adrenaline junkie, there’s the Kymco Xciting 400 motorcycle, which makes riders feel completely safe, while enjoying the pleasures of driving.

Welcoming the holiday spirit, this three-day event promises a line-up of exciting activities such as product showcases, mini concerts, booth navigation tours, and fashion shows.  Mall-goers can look forward to performances by Jona and University of Sto. Tomas Singers (November 24); Darren Espanto and the Mandaluyong Children’s Choir (November 25); and Erik Santos and Psalms of David Philharmonic Orchestra, Inc. (November 26).

Major prizes also await the winners of the  games and raffle draws lined up. These include the foldable Tern Verge X10 with its ultra-light wheels, the first-of-its-kind PaperShoot Hinoki Digital Camera with its single-button system, and the dual camera ASUS Zenfone 4 with 8 and 12 megapixels in the front and main sensor, respectively.
