I’ve just been asked to do a talk in Legazpi City next week (Friday to Sunday) so I’m curious about the state of the city right now. As far as I know, the Bicol region was hit the most by the recent typhoon Milenyo (aka Xangsane) so I’m not sure if things are okay down there. We’ll fly there so travel issues aren’t a biggie.
Will internet be available? Maybe even just Smart GPRS?
Anybody from Legazpi or neighboring areas here care to share how’s everything down there, internet-wise? I was calling Gloria of Daragang Magyon but I think even cellsites there are still down up to now.

Sounds a little sinister, who knows what kind of hell you might find when you step off the plane – go prepared to rough it but I am sure you will find some really good photo ops.
Jasper says:
Yeah, Globe Innove’s service in Legazpi is already restored. I don’t know with other providers. :)
atomicgirl says:

Dex says:
Yeah, fortunately, Internet connections were up three days after Milenyo made a surprise visit. Unfortunately for us though, ’cause we have to troop back to work sooner :lol:
Well, maogmang pag abot (welcome) sa Legazpi City, then. Hope you have a blast here (i’m not referring to anything volcanic, kaya don’t worry) hehe.
;)

Why not drop by in Naga for a visit Saturday night? It’s just two hours away to the north.:)
There’s a free concert by Jay Cayuca at Coffee Beanery in Avenue Square along Magsaysay Avenue. It’s the free WiFi zone I blogged from in the aftermath of Typhoon Milenyo.
Gloria says:
i guess ok na sa legazpi ang internet. though intermittent ok na dito sa sorsogon eh. smart gprs ok na ok even right after milenyo.
redbarrack says:
well, last week i went to catanduanes and legazpi city was totally wipe out by lahar floods i dont think so that they can recover with in months.
Legazpi says:
“totally wipe out”?
Get your facts straight first Mr. RedBarrack. It’s this kind of careless and sweeping statements that cause misinformation among less knowledgeable (or should i say ignorant?) people.
Millie says:
Im heading to Legaspi in Febuary to visit my sponsored child. Can anyone tell me if you think there will be electricity by then. Do you think it will be safe to go?
Legazpi says:
It depends where your sponsored child is located. As of today, 60% of the city is already energized.
Yes, it is safe to go. I should know, I am in Legazpi right now.
Millie says:
Thanks for the info. Do you know of any hotels I can make reservations for? My sponsored child is in Albay. She lost her home. She lived near the volcano. I hope things will be better soon. Thanks again
