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.
For the first time in Sinulog history, people can now share what they're going through online and in real time as PLDT WiFi Zone is right where all the festivities are centered! Posting photos in real time of the most colorful costumes, the most captivating Cebuana beauties, or even your best dance moves won't have to wait after the festival is over.
PLDT WiFi Zone is the same unlimited myDSL connection you take with you outside the home and is made even more convenient by utilizing JUST ONE USERNAME and PASSWORD when you connect to it.
Experience PLDT WiFi Zone now for as low as P150 a month for PLDT myDSL subscribers and P 300 a month for PLDT landline subscribers. PLDT subscribers can register at www.pldtwifizone.com to try the service out for free until January 15 in the midst of the Sinulog merriment and to be privy to areas in Cebu that are set to be upgraded to the WiFi Zone in the near future.
And tell your friends that indeed, there will be a free PLDT WiFi this Sinulog 2012. Just be careful with your gadgets when you access that WiFi. Criminal elements will always be around. ;D

NetSuite, the world's No. 1 cloud ERP, in their annual media press conference held at Sharing-la Makati held last November 22, 2011, announced the key developments of their Philippine operations. One of which was a great news that Yuchengco Group of Companies (YGC) has adopted NetSuite OneWorld PH to manage 11 of its subsidiaries, including five companies held by its House of Investments subsidiary.
NetSuite OneWorld PH provides rapid deployment, integration with Oracle ERP at the corporate headquarters, agility and scalability according to YGC.
NetSuite OneWorld PH has been localized for the accounting rules, usage conventions, statutory and regulatory requirements of the Philippine market, including tax reporting requirements mandated by the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR). This feature surely enables accountants to save time from those complicated computations which could further delay their tax computations.
NetSuite OneWorld PH is the perfect solution for Philippine businesses to manage their domestic and global businesses in the cloud, whether they are locally headquartered or a division of a larger, multinational enterprise.
NetSuite's CEO Zach Nelson also made a presentation to the media about the recent developments of NetSuite and announced their new partners. Presented also during the press conference were the companies' success stories on how they were able to improve their business with the use of NetSuite OneWorld PH.
Sixteen universities worldwide have already made the move to the cloud by adopting NetSuite as a key component of their accounting degree curricula. Purdue University; University of California, Los Angeles; University of Toronto; Mapúa Institute of Technology; De La Salle University and University of San Carlos in the Philippines are among some of the institutions that have embraced NetSuite, for many of the same reasons that thousands of companies worldwide have switched from on-premise software to the NetSuite cloud—to keep pace with 21st century business and computing trends, avoid integration hassles, and escape the vicious cycle of software upgrade and the high maintenance costs caused by on-premise software such as SAP, Microsoft Dynamics Great Plains and QuickBooks.
Here in Cebu, aside from University of San Carlos, NetSuite is also looking on partnering with other schools like Cebu Institute of Technology-University and University of San Jose-Recoletos in the months to come and integrate NetSuite in the school curriculum.
