My experience was with another power company. Seems like Meralco is getting its act together at last, even if the price of electricity is high.

i'd love lte but see enough coverage to be bothered with it yet ge. that also applies in australia unless your not mobile & sitting right in the middle of a coverage area.
one area if smart phone design / performance that rarely, if ever, gets mentioned is reception. this does vary significantly from one handset design to another. many of the older nokia's were good. an old lg renoir i owned had outstanding reception compared to anything else.
this motorola moto g (stupid names) is very good i must say. i had the option of the moto x, a 4 g variant but i eschewed lte because of afore mentioned spotty coverage & more importantly battery issues. lte radios suck way more power. ill take a slower steady connection to a fast intermittent connection. long battery life is very important to me also. motorola should know a thing or two about radio engineering given their history.
switching from iphone purity of design to windows phone or android is a bit of a culture shock he he. what android lacks in refinement it makes up for in flexibility.
i would warn any one contemplating an android based phone to only go with a google nexus or motorola g / x as these get all the latest operating system bug / security fixes the sane as apple. having a device in your pocket always connected to the net its imperative to be right on top of security inho.
i would rule out most other android handsets because they simply don't get updated in a timely manner. if ever.

i was a very long time apple mac & later iphone / ipad user but as a business user i am becoming agnostic to technology. i'm into practicality. nothing wrong with apple's gear in general & i still recommend it to non tech users.
these days my minimal kit is a microfoft surface pro 2 (essentially a real laptop with a full powered usb port + ethernet port shrunk into a tablet) plus a decent 3 g smart phone.
i did have a beautiful nokia 1030 but the screen shattered so easily i can't be bothered to get it fixed. i replaced it with the ultimate work horse smartphone, a motorola moto g. these 3 g android based phones are marketed as a dual sim phone. i find having a globe & smart sim very useful. globe is arguably the most consistent signal all around the phil's but there are black spits where smart is the only way to go. downtown balibago for example.
put a postpaid sim in it or a pre paid + p1000 load & subscribe to unlimited internet for 30 days. this saves me from relying lousy insecure wifi connections in hotels etc.
the tablet can use it via usb tethering or wifi hotspot.

Posts: 3272FYI. Iphones in Philippines
Took me a few trips but I figured it out. I bring an unlocked iphone and get a local SIM card for local texting and calls also for data plan. Under the 3 g / data or wifi I can text people back home in US thru iMessage to their iPhone or iPad for free. Also make Facetime calls free too. While in US I download Magic Jack app on iPhone and Ipad and can make free calls to US and Canada from anywhere in the world for free using wifi or 3 g. Just thought I would pass this along in case you didn't know.

Yes there are, and the costs are quite reasonable too (for solar anyway).
I checked out if I could sell surplus load to the grid of the local electric company and that caused a major problem.
The local power companies do not want people generating their own power.

I want to thank whoever said (probably several people) that Phil girls like having babies and do not worry about getting preg, in fact many want to get preg. I've been 'fixed' for many years and while video chatting on skype she said how she wants me to cum in her so she can get preg (told her I had a few kids). I am sure if I said that I was 'fixed' she would drop me like a lead balloon. Oh also condoms are only for prostitutes.
So, ty for the heads up. So to speak- oh, she assured me that I was very special to her and that others never see her naked on skype. Just me. I wonder if she also has a bridge for sale?

Out of curiosity, have any of you with property in the provinces ever looked into alternative energy sources--solar, wind, small hydro, geothermal? I'm wondering if there are respectable suppliers and engineer-type experts around.
