Inspired by a couple of posts by Jeremy Wagstaff (Power Thieves and Power to the Consumer) I thought of compiling a list of establishments in Metro Manila that freely let users plug in their electronic devices like mobile phones, laptops, ultraportables and other devices for charging.

I know that with battery technology and computing architecture these days, you should be able to squeeze out at least three hours of life from your laptop or ultraportable. But there are just those days when you need extra juice.

These establishments usually offer either paid or free WiFi access, whether it be in-house, part of a WiFi hotspot network, or have neighboring establishments that have wireless access.

Here are a few I know. I’ll even include those that charge for electricity. Please feel free to leave a comment if you know of other places.

Quezon City
* Seattle’s Best, Katipunan — some tables even have power outlets for laptop users who want to get the most out of their Globe WIZ (paid) connection.
* Mocha Blends, Matalino Street (near Heart Center) — they charge PhP 50 for every device plugged in.

Any others?
