ASUS has kicked off its No. 1 Quality, School-Ready Deals promotion in the Philippines, giving students, creators, and gamers a slate of freebies, extra warranty protection, and discounts just in time for the new academic year.

Running through Sept. 15, the back-to-school campaign offers perks ranging from bundled accessories and gear discounts to up to ₱5,000 (around $82) in GCash cashback.

And to give buyers extra peace of mind, ASUS is offering a free one-year additional Local Accidental Damage Protection or LADP extension via ASUS Perfect Warranty Plus on select purchases made until Aug. 31. This extends total accidental damage protection up to two years, covering accidental drops, bumps, and liquid spills. To claim the extension, buyers must register their purchase on the company’s promo registration site.

Participating devices include the following:

• ASUS ProArt OLED laptops and thin-and-light Zenbook models with Ceraluminum designs
• ASUS Vivobook S, Vivobook Flip, and classic Vivobook laptops
• ASUS ROG Zephyrus series, high-performance ROG Strix G and SCAR lines, ROG Flow devices, and the ROG Xbox Ally, which we reviewed earlier this year

In addition to extended protection, shoppers at official ASUS and ROG Concept Stores can score some solid gear bundles. Picking up an eligible Zenbook or Vivobook laptop before Aug. 31, for example, gets you a free Marshmallow Mouse MD100. Valued at ₱2,395 ($39), the travel-friendly mouse features interchangeable magnetic covers, built-in antimicrobial protection, a carrying strap, and a 12-month battery life.

The Taiwanese manufacturer is also offering up to ₱1,000 ($16) off select accessories when you buy a qualifying device. Gamers can grab a ₱1,000 ($16) discount on the ROG Ranger BP2800 Gaming Backpack with an eligible ROG, TUF Gaming, or accessory purchase. For a cleaner desk setup, you can take ₱800 ($13) off the ASUS Marshmallow Keyboard KW100 when paired with participating ProArt, Zenbook, or Vivobook laptops, as well as ASUS, ROG, or TUF desktops and All-in-One PCs. Additionally, a ₱200 ($3) discount is available on the company’s compact 65-watt USB-C GaN Charger.

ASUS is also bringing the School-Ready Deals campaign on-site with interactive pop-up booths across select SM Cyberzone locations. Visitors can complete booth activities to take home exclusive merchandise, while buyers can unlock up to ₱5,000 ($82) in GCash cashback on participating purchases. Furthermore, the first 30 qualified buyers each weekend will get a chance to draw for extra bundle prizes, including an ROG Phone 8 gaming phone as the grand prize.

Pop-up booth schedule:

• SM Megamall: Aug. 14-16
• SM North EDSA (The Annex): Aug. 21-23
• SM Mall of Asia: Aug. 28-30

ASUS will likewise hold campus visits at select universities throughout the back-to-school season to bring giveaways and activities directly to students.
