HUAWEI MatePad 12 X (2026) Review
I know this is kinda paranoid already but several people have contacted me about erratic to no internet connection. Yes, there’s that 12 midnight to 5am police curfew imposed on the entire Mega Manila, but the internet? There’s also the detention processing of media people who were present during the siege at the Manila Peninsula Hotel. I’d like to believe that this knee-jerk reaction is nothing to be worried about. Anybody else having problems with their net connection? Couldn’t it be just net traffic congestion?

Making a roll call of my ISPs
1. Smart Bro- acting up which is rare
2. Globelines- smooth. Usual.
3. PLDT- the usual intermittent. same old crappy connection. nothing new.
the winner today is Globelines Broadband. Yay

Just clogged. Mobile networks are hours delayed.
Although my connection is stable right now.. the best connection I have from Globe Innove since I subscribed.
Oh, to the rest of the public.. please don’t believe the news that there’s a martial law (mostly coming from radio stations). It’s causing panick… :/

Probably congestion. Can’t go out? Go online. Government annoying? Bitch about it on the internet. Twitter has been a great communication too. Real-time updates that are even faster than the news websites.

No problems, but MLQ3 keeps moderating my comments on how small-minded and cowardly Filipinos are. I’d rather get killed than be humiliated like Trillanes was today, the coward that he is. I think ambition makes a Filipino a coward. it’s their desire to be artistas rather than heroes that makes them mice and not men.

Experienced connection problems yesterday afternoon, using my Smart 3g phone as modem.. I also thought it’s traffic congestion since things are already heating up at makati during that time.

Just to clarify. looks like Manolo has been gone from his blog a while. It hasn’t been updated in over a week.

MY BayanDSL connection slowed down last night, at the height of the media arrest. I guess it’s just traffic. It’s okay now.

feeling ko traffic congestion lng yun.
hindi maka gimik ang tao. di maka labas. ano pa ba ang magandang pampalipas oras sa gabi pwera sa TV kundi ang internet.

@eric: Wala rin ngang TV nun (except kung naka-cable ka) kasi puro un lang ang balita.
