The Philippine Macintosh Users Group celebrated their Christmas Party at the Cafe Bola, Greenbelt 3 just this afternoon. Since the launch of their new website, the PhilMUG online (as well as offline) community has hit the ‘beyond 1,000′ member mark.

Aside from the great food, MUGers were treated to a screening of Eli Africa’s 14-minute documentary entitled “Selling Songs of Leyte” which won him an award in the New York Film and Video Festival! What else makes this video special? It was edited entirely on iMovie!

Raffles, prizes, and more raffle prizes (!!!) including PhilMUG and iPod shirts, Mac accessories from Digital Walker, Canon bags, Wi-Fi prepaid cards from LMK as well as subscriptions to m|ph magazine (yeah we love the local Mac community to the very bottom of our soft and warm hearts) were among the many exciting prizes Santa Kenneth and Elbert the Elf gave away that afternoon.

A Very Merry Christmas to PhilMUG!
