I woke up very early yesterday because I have to report to my new place of assignment. If I used to travel for an hour and fifteen minutes with my previous assignment, now I have to travel for additional 30 minutes in order to reach my new place of assignment. I left the house at 6:30 in the morning and was able to reach the province at 7:45 am then I have to transfer to a jeepney in order to reach my assignment. This is my first time to reach the place so I am excited. I was assisted by the clerk when I reached the municipal office. I have to wait for my field supervisor and he introduced me to the head and employees of the different offices there in. The people are very kind and accommodating. I was not anymore expecting that I could still participate with myLot discussions and other online activities because I thought that since the place is somewhat remote, there would be no internet connection. But when I look at my cellphone, I found out that there is a wifi signal on the place. See! I am still lucky Have a nice day everyone!

@ ardoy: Well of course even if there is no wifi connection I will still find a way to be able to participate with myLot. But now since they have an internet connection I will worry no more. Thanks for sharing!

That's strange but because of our latest technology now reaches even to the remote areas, you are very lucky. It is possible no because PLDT extended their coverage even to the remote areas. Telecommunications such as SMART and Globe also have their network upgrade so they can provide wifi even to the remote municipalities. I live in Mindanao, one of the municipality but still we have wifi in the area, most of the establishments such as restaurants have there own. Our Municipal hall provide free wifi with in the park for the local people to use when they stayed in the plaze especially during late afternoon and early evening.

Hi july! That is really one of the fear that I have in my mind when our boss told us that we will be going out for a field work. How can I update my online sites if there is no internet connection on the place? Well, I don't know about other municipalities where my teammates were assigned. I can't see any update from them on fb so maybe they don't have internet connection on their place of assignment. I was really lucky! I don't give any particular place of preference when asked by our boss where I wanted to be assigned. I told him, I will obey whatever his decision maybe. La la la la! That is singing mode! Thank you for sharing!

It is amazing that modern technology is in remote place like that. I think it is ever such a pleasant surprise. You are sure to enjoy looking at the Internet on your cell phone. I used to live in a village three miles south of a city called Canterbury. It was annoying that broadband wasn't available in that village until the year 2005. That was the year I moved to a different area called Somerset. So from 2000 until 2005 I had to put up with dial up Internet. That was pricey and very unreliable. Now I have broadband I pay much less for my Internet. I am glad that you like the new location that you are working in.

Hi maxim! Yes, new technologies that we have are really amazing! I am also glad that I was able to experience these things also. Not only that it give us enjoyment, it also one way for us to earn additional money. As of now, I noticed also that not all of the people here are familiar with online earning sites. Thank you for sharing!

The available of the wireless signal for your cellphone and your internet services at the remote area is because of the well development of your country in telecommunication. In fact, your local service providers have provided the transmission towers to cover those remote areas and may be it covers your whole nation too. However, do keep in mind about the charges. I do hope you still can enjoy the good or the economic charging rates at that remote area too.

Hi nat! Yes, that is true. And what is good about it is that it is for free. Although I know that I can use my smartbro if ever there is no wifi connection, but having one is a better thing because I don't have to pay for the load anymore. Yippeee! Thank you for sharing!

That's really a good news for you and for everyone out there. That things are getting narrower, I mean, we can reach out to any one even far flung areas now are online. Good news for every one for people will be updated, e-commerce will be adopted by small business now. I hope I can get a fair share of wifi connection when I will be going home for a short vacation this November for I don't want to miss anything here in mylot. nice one here. Thanks

Yes, this is one of the good effect of the new technology. There is no place so far that we cannot reach. We can be active anywhere we go. I hope you also have an internet connection on your place, was that you home town? You can also use broadband stick if there is none. Have a nice day!

Lucky you! At least you were still able to join Mylot even if you were in a remote place. That was really unusual to have an internet connection in provinces.

Good to know that you find internet facility in a rural place. Most of us think that internet facilities are not available in remote villages, but the technology is very fast than our thought. In this modern days lot of remote places also having the internet facility. Internet service providers don't leave any place and try their maximum to give their service in all the places around the world. As we know most of the remote places have cell phone signals and we can access our smart phones there, in the same way some remote villages support wireless internet connection as well as normal internet service. Day by day the technology is improving a lot and our world is updating itself based on the new technology. We are in need to go to remote places due to our business and work purpose, at that time we worry a lot about the communication facilities, since some inner places don't support internet and cell services. But some people in that local areas have the internet knowledge and contact the cell phone and internet service providers to provide the net facility to their place. With this kind of persons request, the service providers come to know about the rural places and start their service there. After some time the other service providers started their service in that place and a great competition is going on in that remote areas too. If we are in need to go to a remote place and we don't find the internet service in that place, we can contact the service provider and tell about that place to them. It will be useful to the provider to know about the new place as well as the people will get the internet facility due to our help. With this kind of activities we can spread out the internet facilities to remote places too. In this modern days everything is possible.

Hi friend! What you just said is true. As long as there is cellphone signal, chances are, there will be an internet connection in the place. And the fact that they allow me to choose the wifi at the very first day of my stay on the place something I will cherish. Unlike when the time I was on my 3 month field immersion, we cannot use the wifi. It was password protected. Thank you for the comprehensive discussion of the matter. Have a nice day!

Hi maria! Of course, I also like new challenges and new places. Sometimes what I don't like is that if my entire body is aching because of the long travel. But generally, new experiences like this one is something I am always looking for. Thank you for sharing your opinion!
