Many are asking if there will be indeed a Free PLDT WiFi this Sinulog 2012. Well, one significant detail to set the Sinulog 2012 celebrations apart is the introduction of PLDT WiFi Zones all across public thoroughfares and establishments nearest the event to maximize the Sinulog experience.


In partnership with the Cebu City Government through the Office of the Mayor, Councilors Roberto Cabarrubias and Mike Ralota, the free PLDT WiFi this Sinulog 2012 through the PLDT WiFi Zones have been set up in time for Sinulog 2012 but will be a service made available to Cebuanos year round starting January 12. The PLDT WiFi Zones may be accessed in Gen. Maxilom Avenue (PERMANENT), Gorordo to Fuente Osmeña Circle (PERMANENT), Osmeña Boulevard (PERMANENT), Portions of N. Bacalso Avenue and P. Del Rosario (PERMANENT), the Cebu City Sports Center (TEMPORARY INSTALLATION UNTIL JAN. 16 ONLY), Cebu City Hall (PERMANENT), Cebu Provincial Capitol (PERMANENT), Magellan's Cross (PERMANENT) and Plaza Independencia (PERMANENT) and many other establishments.

The service will be FREE for the duration of the festival. Consumers just need to look for the PLDT WiFi Zone Booth strategically located along the festival route to get their FREE WiFi Zone PINS.
"PLDT has always considered Cebu as one of its priority cities. With the unveiling of its latest technology, the PLDT WiFi Zones, the Sinulog festival, every Cebuano's proudest moment, can now be shared throughout the world as it takes place," according to PLDT Head of Cebu Operations Bong Lintag.

PLDT Vice President for Data Acquisitions Retail Business Group, Gary Dujali, believes that powering Cebu up for its biggest festival will prove to be a great development for everyone involved.
"This new service we are proud to finally launch in Cebu is an extension of our subscribers' internet connection at home. They can take advantage of ultra fast and reliable WiFi service not just at home but everywhere in the city."

Residents of Metro Manila can attest to experiencing WiFi like no other from more than 2,000 establishments upgraded to the WiFi Zone just from last year.

And if you just don't know, it was Cebu City Councilor Bob Cabarrubias who took the initiative to make this happen and also the positive response of PLDT Head of Cebu Operations Bong Lintag. Something that we called as a dream is now a reality.
