I moved to Puerto Princesa, Palawan by Ray61
I moved in November 2015 in Puerto Princesa, Palawan. Before, I was living in Agoo, La Union (Philippines). I don't know how many of you are living in Palawan but I have to say, that's the best decision of my life. I'm very used to live ...

Hello, 3000 per night it's ok. When my father visits me, it takes a room in Marina De Bay, on the sea. I can look it for you. About underground river, I have been very disappointed. If you don't have a very powerful flashlight, you see ... Read More
Accounts/identifications that single expats can acquire in the PI by Calif-Native
The other day I was sharing an experience with a fellow expat and he was in shock to learn that I had acquired various accounts and identifications that he felt were not available to unmarried expats. Therefore, I would like to open a discussion on ...
This post is interresting. I would like to say only that all banks don't have the same rules and maybe not the same rules also in different regions. I just opened BDO bank account, with ATM card, Mastercard Debit card, possibility to withdraw ... Read More
PLDT & what appears to be INTENTIONAL broadband choking activity by Calif-Native
This is both a "Mega vent" and what I hope to be a informational rant. It has been over a year since I have had PLDT 5-Mbps service (or being billed for it w/o receiving it). The first thing I want to try to do is put this rant in more ...
@calif. Mine is all the time front of me and I never saw that and I've never tried to reset it myself through the PLDT menu (for PLDT support only). In Agoo (La Union) or here, in Palawan, I have usually good connection. Currently D7.5Mbps but ... Read More

@calif. I'm not sure about your conclusion; I experienced also bad connection these 2-3 last days, but this afternoon, perfect ! it's D7,5 Mbs / U.65 Mbps. But good for you. Let see if the connection stays like this. They said also, last ... Read More

In fact, I was angry like you guys, when I was in Madagascar, because there, they do the same and worst, "fake advertising", very expensive contract, and most of time, no connection at all ! And when i called their tech support, they came ... Read More

Of course, it looks "fake advertising", but it's like this in many many countries, Thaïland, Cambodia and in my last place Madagascar (the worst about Internet) and we can shout out as much as we can, they will not have individual ... Read More

You are very angry with PLDT and I enjoy to reply to you (same when I was shopping this morning, using a Globe connection in an old mall...) because I work also on IT. For me, if I don't have Internet, I cannot make money and it's my only ... Read More

Yr gaz example is not good. PLDT advertises for maximum speed and we sign for a minimum speed. And usually, they are above their minimum. Any way, do you have a small idea about how many expat members have other contract than the first 999P? Most ... Read More

@calif, When do you understand that people here doesn't have 2% of your background to understand what you are talking about? Maybe, you don't loose yr time to talk to PLDT, but sure, here, they are not able to understand you. Yr main topic, ... Read More

IT is also my job and we cannot do anything about that. My download speed is from 0.1 to 8 Mbps, with an average between 1 and 2 Mbps and I pay 3.7K for 6-7 Mbps. I know that I'm in Philippines and I don't complain to PLDT, because they ... Read More
