Free WiFi Spots in Manila (and Beyond)

Song for the Moment: Jump on Foot by Holiday for Strings

I am really such a nice person. I mean, I think I was built to be in service or something. Hahaha. J

I came across a thread on philmug that asked for a list of all known free WiFi spots in Manila and beyond. There were a lot of helpful leads there, but it was difficult to follow because they were listed by different people from different areas. So being the ever-helpful and wifi-crazy person that I am, I decided to painstakingly collate and categorize all their leads according to areas.

Here’s the result. (I suggest you download this table from here and have it printed out. It’ll be very helpful!)

DISCLAIMER: I just collated EVERYTHING and put it on a sorted file. These are leads mentioned by people from the forum, and I cannot guarantee that all of them do have free WiFi. Nonetheless, it won’t hurt to ask the establishment’s manager. Sometimes, the WiFi access is free-for-all. But more often than not, these establishments have a secured network that requires a password request from the manager.

Hi Tidoy! :)

This is a fun experiment, just turning on your laptop's WiFi and randomly stumbling across signals around the area. Haha! I do that all the time from our condo here in Ortigas. :)

Ok, one time, I was soo desperate to get internet on the road, I tried to leech off the condos at the Fort... not knowing that Pier One at The Fort Strip actually offers free WiFi. Oh well! Hehehe.

Sounds like some great travels. Were you able to find any more free wifi? I am creating a listing of free wifi in Peru for other travelers (and ex-pats like myself). Take a look: http://freewifiwiki.net/index.php?title=Peru --if you have any to add please add some (its a wiki)

Cheers
