FREE WI-FI HOTSPOT IN BURNHAM PARK, BAGIUO

filed in PLACES, TECHNOLOGY on Oct.21, 2008

There have been rumored that there is a WI-FI hotspot in Burnham Park located in the summer captial of the Philippines, Bagiuo City. Burnham Park is centered around a man-made lake located at the heart of the city. It was named after the city’s planner, Daniel Burnham. The park is a favorite place of local residents and visitors alike. There are different facilities for recreation and relaxation that are available in the park. You can row a boat, have a picnic, attend an outdoor concert, watch a football game, go biking, or just take a leisurely stroll around the park.

At the southern end of the park is a circular skating rink where skates can be rented. There are also tennis and basketball courts, a few restaurants, outdoor kiosks, a children’s playground, and an orchidarium where various kinds of plants, trees and flowers are sold. Chairs and benches are distributed around the park for those who just want to sit down and relax.

According to the Baguio Midland Courier, March 30 2008 :

“Burnham Park is the first premier public park in the entire country to become an “e-tourism park” following the launching of a Free WiFi or wireless fidelity Internet access at the park lake last March 27. With the launching, the Burnham Park lake is now a WiFi access area, which allows residents and tourists to browse the web using their laptops, WiFi phones and other portable device to access the Internet.”

Now that would mean free internet access to any people in Bagiuo with the use of laptops, wi-fi phones and pda. This would include tourists and locals especially students from the park.

The only problem that this would impose is the risk of theft becasuse these gadgets would be left in the open easy for thieves to get. Just make sure to protect yourself from robbers, secure your valuable gadgets. The city government announced that they will deploy more guards to keep the park safe and secure. As far I could remember, a local reminded me when I last went in Bagiuo to be careful in walking in the vicinity of Burnham Park especially if you are going to show your cameras and phones to the public.
So if you are in the area and want to use the available WI-Fi, be sure to make measures to protect your gadgets.

Spanish Dancer Nudibranch - There are more than 3,000 known nudibranch species, and scientists estimate there are another 3,000 yet to be discovered. So-called Spanish dancers, like this one off the coast of New South Wales, Australia, boast some distinctions over other nudibranchs: First, they can be enormous, reaching a foot and a half long.
FAMOUS CEBU PRISONERS - The dance routine was originally conceptualized by prison officers as a form of behavior conditioning. Then it became a money making event. Dancing prisoners are happy since they claim to enjoy more benefits than other non-dancing prisoners. The incentive to dance is not really to practice art but to receive better prison treatment ... read more.

“The early bird catches the worm; a stitch in time saves nine. He who hesitates is lost. We can’t pretend we haven’t been told. We’ve all heard the proverbs, heard the philosophers, heard our grandparents warning us about wasted time, heard the damn poets urging us to ‘seize the day’. Still sometimes we have to see for ourselves. We have to make our own mistakes. We have to learn our own lessons. We have to sweep today’s possibility under tomorrow’s rug until we can’t anymore, until we finally understand for ourselves like Benjamin Franklin meant. That knowing is better than wondering, that waking is better than sleeping. And that even the biggest failure, even the worst most intractable mistake beats the hell out of never trying.” — Grey’s Anatomy
