Free WIFI Hotspots - Manila, Makati, Cebu, Davao, Ortigas, Mandaluyong, Pasay, Marikina, Pampanga

Public Service:

Ella Fadreligan from Quezon City emailed us this question just a while ago:
"Dear TechPinas, where can I find free wifi hotspots or zones here in Metro Manila? Freebies in these financially trying times should definitely be taken advantage of, don't you think? Thanks!"

Haha. Thanks for the inquiry Ella! :)

From my blog (savelinux.wordpress.com)

SM City Pampanga is also now a free public wifi hotspot, at mabilis ang internet dito. Sa sobrang bilis, from load time to play time, makakasayawan mo lahat ng friends mo sa Pet Society, pero di mo pa ubos Starbucks mo.
