Cebu Towns Have Free Wi-Fi
This is a follow-up post on Free Wi-Fi in Cebu .
Cebu, that island in the Pacific, is blessed with beautiful beaches and amazing historical sites. If you are familiar with your world history, this is the place where the famous Portuguese explorer, Ferdinand Magellan, met his untimely death. But if you come to Cebu on business or just for a vacation, don’t forget to bring your laptop because there are now plenty of FREE WI-FI zones here.
If you travel 66 kms south, you wouldn’t miss your mails or your blogs. Right in front of the famous St. Michael Archangel Parish in Argao is a hot zone. You can just sit in one of the benches at the town plaza and open your laptop. The one at the far left of the picture above is me trying out the connectivity.
If you travel further south, 103 km away from Cebu City, is another wired town. In front of a heritage site, the Nuestra Señora de Patrocino Parish of Boljoon, Cebu, is a wi-fi zone. The town set up tables and chairs for tourists and users. It is one of the town’s projects to invite more tourists and visitors to their place. And while you are surfing the web, you will surely enjoy the sea breeze and the sight of their enchanted boulevard.
I hope more Cebu towns and Cities will follow what Argao and Boljoon did. It would be better if Sta. Fe, Bantayan Island, a place booming with tourists, would be the next to introduce free wi-fi. It would not cost them more that P1,500 (around $35) a month for the connection. And it is also giving a chance for their constituents (and visitors) to be connected to the worldwide web. I can just imagine myself enjoying the sand and the sight of the beach, with a laptop in hand.

Maayong balita na bai da. Its great to know some places are connected. The southern Cebu and western side should also be promoted to tourists. I think the beaches there are even better.
Si Manilenya, cgurado pupunta yan.

bloggista, i guess you are also referring to Moalboal. That town should have free wi-fi too.
May 8th, 2008 at 4:52 pm
Maayo pa sila libre ila wifi. =D But yes, this is a very welcome development for Cebu towns. Moalboal, Badian…the southwestern destinations ought to follow suit to attract more tourists.

wow.. it’s gud news.. asenso najud ang cebu towns.. yeheeeyy..

lourie, these are possible coz every local government unit is encouraged to computerized. it won’t take long for it to happen.
islander, for the bigger cities, i think it’s the private sector that provides it. plenty of coffee shops offer wifi. it would be difficult for the plazas to be wired. basin mabira nuon ang mga laptops ug ang router. i’ll update my link later.
freezebox, yep dapat lang na Cebu should take the lead.

that’s really good news! I’ll be in Cebu this Thursday and I’ll be in Bantayan by May 27 for a vacation. im not bringing my laptop though. do you have any suggestions on how i can enjoy my two days and one night stay in that island. and also places in cebu city where i can spend during the night (bars, restos etc).
thanks!

Dong Ho, i will be in Makati tomorrow till Friday. I might be able to visit and watch the photo exhibit of Ferdz.
As to your two days and one night vacation to Bantayan, you should leave from Cebu (thru bus at the north bus terminal) before 6am so that you’d be able to reach the island by 9am. For more pics of the place, find the name freezebox in my blogroll. He has recently been there and got some nice pics.
Places in Cebu City that will keep you awake: IT park, Crossroads, Ayala, SM, Mango Square, Banilad Town Center
