Philippines’ Internet
Here in the Philippines, the internet is expensive but unreliable. We pay more than most of our neighbors in Asia, yet the service often fails. Outages come without warning and can last for hours or even days. Schools, offices, and households are left struggling to adjust while bills keep coming in.
What makes it worse is the lack of transparency. Instead of admitting thereโs an outage, companies use vague terms like โintermittentโ or avoid posting advisories at all. The result is more frustration because people are left guessing whatโs really happening.
The lesson is clear. First, donโt depend on a single lineโalways keep a backup like mobile data. Second, transparency matters more than saving face. Admitting a problem is better than denying it. Third, progress without solid infrastructure is weak. Promises of fast speeds and modern plans mean little if the backbone isnโt strong.
Despite the poor system, people adapt. Students use hotspots, teachers reschedule classes, and families share whatever connection they can get. The internet may be broken here in the Philippines, but the ability of people to adjust and keep going is what keeps everything moving.
