#SpaceX Starlink

SpaceX's Starlink availability map is showing that its services may soon be available in the Philippines from the fourth quarter of 2022. It has been recently reported by Reuters that the Philippines will be the first nation in Southeast Asia to receive satellite broadband service from Starlink. This also corresponds to the trending news last month that the Authority of the Freeport Area of Bataan will aggressively talk and negotiate with the Starlink representatives. A reminder for everyone though that Starlink still has pending service coverage or still needs regulatory approval, thus they have a disclaimer that says "Estimates are contingent on government approval and network expansions." This is now possible thanks to the recently signed law of President Rodrigo Duterte amending the Commonwealth Act No. You may access Starlink's availability map here then hover your mouse over the map of the Philippines. SpaceX has begun selling the Starlink Mini in select areas. This is a new Starlink kit that’s portable enough to fit into a bag. The Starlink Mini is priced at USD 599 (~PHP 35,000), according to the emails SpaceX have sent out.
