SM City Baliwag is now an official hotspot here in Bulacan as it launched its free Wi-Fi service this afternoon.
Upon arrival at the food court where the event was held, I immediately tried the free Wi-Fi service and I am happy to say that the connection is fast. I checked my this site and I was satisfied with the fast time that the entire page was opened. By the way, part of this post was written, and saved in draft right at the food court using the Internet connection at the mall.
I also tried using my other wi-fi capable devices using the service. I had no problem connecting with my Blackberry although there was a slight delay in downloading this site.
I missed the opening program since I came late. I was able to catch one of the two bloggers' events, the food blogging contest. The establishments in the food court provided some of their food for the bloggers to try. I tried the takoyaki balls from Takoyaki along with the goto from Pinoy Lugaw.
There was also an appearance by Super Mario, Bumblebee and Optimus Prime as part of the Cosplay event that coincided with the launch. The kids in the mall were all excited to see their favorite comic characters in person. But I noticed that there more adults than kids who were more than eager to have their pictures taken with the said characters.
It's good that I went to this event because I was able to meet Dave and his wife, who organize events for bloggers who are based in Baliwag and nearby towns of Bulacan. The event ended with the awarding of prizes for the bloggers who wrote the best blogs for the food event and the earlier movie event. Special thanks to Ms. Bev Cruz of SM Baliwag for the invitation and I hope to get invited to other events of the mall in the future.
