But Filipinos are an ingenious lot, and anything free is worth a cartwheel or two.

Here’s a list of possible ways you can take advantage of the free and sometimes high-speed internet along EDSA (but mostly near MRT stations). But before anything else, remember to keep your gadgets— and your person—safe at all times.
