#RealTalk: Internet connection in the Philipines, especially at home, can be unreliable. Unstable connection, sudden slowing down, choppy classes or Zoom calls..we’ve all been there.
Luckily, there are cafes where you can enjoy strong and reliable connection that enable you to get your work done and dine in at the same time even during quarantine! Whether you are completing work tasks or doing classes online, having a change of environment keeps you energized for the day ahead. Cafes offer great value for money: a quiet space, few people, and best of all, good WiFi signal for getting the work done.
Here are some of the best ones.
