"Ganito kami sa Makati!"
Makati City Mayor Jejomar Erwin S. Binay is planning on making the CBD as the first city in the Philippines to have access to wireless fidelity.
“We are planning to pursue citywide wi-fi connectivity, and City Hall is a good place to start. Then we will select two pilot barangays first before gradually covering the entire city,” Binay said.
"Wireless Hotspots" have been insalled on selected floors of the City Hall, making it the first LGU (Local Government Unit) in the Country to make its City Hall a "Wifi zone".
