What I would like to know is, what stores here in Manila where can specifically buy the DPP magazines? I tried National bookstore and Booksale but had no luck (or I was late in looking for them on those stores and all the stocks were sold?).

Digital Photogapher Philippines has local content, which the international edition lacks.

I bought several issues a few months ago from a shop beside Toy Kingdom of SM Mega Mall.

We don't supply all National Bookstores because of buyer demographic. DPP Magazine retails for P295. We learned this early on. Some NBS sell great while some can't sell worth crap. That's why we focus mainly on their premiere stores such as Glorietta, Greenbelt, MOA, Festival Mall, Megamall, Podium, Cubao, Greenhills, North Edsa. All the Fully Booked Stores have them too. Most Bufinis. All Mio Bookstores. Next month all Magnet stores. And yes, that store beside Toy Kingdom in Megamall called MX who move a ton of DPP mags monthly.

I've been wanting to have a copy. I posted a querry in the DPP #9 issue thread on how to avail of subscription to those who are outside the Phils. As Aly quoted, it's the local content that I'm itching to see and read... :Grin:

Hi Nick.

Thanks for the info as to where to buy because I asked my mother to look around at the bookstores in QC but found nothing. Will it be possible for us to subscribe and maybe we'll cover postage/mailing??? Just a thought....

Nick Tuason

Hi Donna,

You're not the only one asking for delivery to the US. We have no problem sending you the magazine to the US. The most cost effective method is called PHILIPPINE POSTAL.

Care to gamble?

Nick, thank you for the prompt reply. Just a concern, was there any problem encountered while mailing the magazine to the US yet?

Please let me know the mailing cost and will subscribe, or should I just click "subscribe" and enter my US addresss then?

Nick Tuason
03-10-2007, 10:46 AM
Hi Donna,

I'm just being a bit sarcastic. If you want, I will personally go down to Philippine Postal and inquire about their Air Priority Rate. Please send me a PM with your complete address so that I can get the accurate quote for you.

Not to brag, but I believe you will really enjoy this magazine. The content and print quality rocks!

You shoot me on the spot!!!! :D

I'm reading the thread about the mag and really it's very inviting to have a copy. Maybe some other DPP members from the US would want one, then maybe it can all be sent in one batch.

Ok..ok..I'll PM my mailing addy, I hope I'm not asking too much of your time :(

Thanks!

Not to sound like a sipsip but honestly, this magazine is one of the only local magazines that can compete with its international counterpart. The quality of the material alone is already above par, much more the content. You won't regret your subscription, Donna.:) Just my 2 pesos....

hi. i recently bought your issue 09 and i really liked your magazine.
i am a subscriber of Digital Photo (from Emap UK) and I had problems receiving my copies. Problem must be with our post office.
And I am happy to have found your magazine since I can do away with the hassle of complaining because I dont receive my copies.
I am decided to subscribe since I don't see your magazine at National Bookstore.
But I would like to ask if you still have copies of issue # 1-8 ?
If so, where can I get hold of them?

Thanks :D

Then you must be going to the wrong National Bookstores. We choose not to be in all of them intentionally. Please see the previous posts.

You can make a deposit in our bank account but sometimes that is more of a hassle than coming over and paying directly yourself. We always like to meet our DPP readers. Just let us know your preference.

Hi Nino my bad I was referring to issue#15 not #14.. And I personally went to Filbars Greenbelt, accdg to them they still don't have #15.. So I ended up getting my #15 at National Book Store in Greenbelt.

i know i asked this before but maybe i will get a new answer this time...

have you guys found a way to send us copies to the US? well, i'm on Guam.. only three hours away by plane.

i can honestly say that as a photography NUT. the best photography magazine i have read/seen from Philippines would be this magazine. truly world class.
so congratulations to all of you who work very hard to put it together.

Nick Tuason
10-25-2007, 10:06 AM
Thanks Bert for the nice comments. I got an idea....do you know anyone in the Guam Visitors' Bureau? If yes, why don't you link them with us and we can convince them to do some exchange photo op with Guam. For instance, they can sponsor the trip of maybe six Filipino photographers to photograph Guam and then send six from Guam to photograph here all for the sake of tourism. GVB has got money to burn. I've been to Guam numerous times and know that if we got some of our landscape guys there, they would give the island a totally different treatment.

As for your query about subscription, do you know of any Philippine goods distributors there? If yes, then I can communicate with them here for magazine delivery to Guam.

hi sirs. i'll be moving to abu dhabi in a couple of weeks, and was wondering if i can get a subscription from here, either via mail or parcel. better if there is already an existing arrangement with the pinoy DPP members in the UAE.

let me know if this is possible, thanks!

Helen,

Our Cebu distributors are Cebu Magazine Exchange. They received our magazines one day after it was printed so I'm a bit surprised to see that they have yet to distribute it to the stores. Please check again because they should be there.

Is there any shortage of copies? any plan of re-printing?

By the way Nick, I haven't noticed it but do you include in the addressee portion when you send the subscriber's copy the month/year when the subscription will expire like in fortune or national geographic? Or do you inform the subscriber when his/her subscription is about to expire? I wouldn't want to miss a copy because I failed to renew my subscription. Just a thought. Thanks.

I asked this question of Nick some weeks ago. He said subscribers will be notified if their subscription is about to expire. If I remember right, they will insert a reminder/subscription form in the DPP mag delivered to the subscriber.

Wait for their confirmation.How did you make your payment? You can call 7504341. Get the Account Number and Account Name if your going to pay thru bank (BDO). In my case, I deposited to BDO with account number 1200099603 and account name Bella Luce Publications.Then I emailed the scanned document to them. Hope this can help...

my dpp subscription started last year with issue #13, and i would just like to find out if you'll be informing us if it's time for us to renew the said subscription.
