Free WiFi launched on EDSA Busway

THE departments of Transportation (DoTr) and Information and Communications Technology (DICT), said they jointly launched the Free WiFi for All program at Epifanio de los Santos Avenue (EDSA) Busway stations.

“Basic services like transport and internet should also progress because it has now become a necessity for the public,” Information and Communications Technology Secretary Henry Rhoel R. Aguda said on Thursday.

The DICT’s “Free WiFi for All” program provides free public internet services in public areas like schools, health facilities, and underserved markets to help bridge the digital divide. 

The DoTr said free internet access will only be available at 17 stations for now — Balintawak, Kaingin, Fernando Poe, Jr., SM North EDSA, North Avenue, PHilAm, Quezon Avenue, Kamuning, Nepa Q-Mart, Main Avenue, Ortigas, Buendia, Ayala, Tramo, Taft Avenue, Roxas Boulevard, and SM Mall of Asia.

The remaining three EDSA Busway stations such as Monumento, Bagong Barrio, and Guadalupe will soon be part of the program after rehabilitation work is completed.

The program provides commuters between 40 and 60 megabits per second of free internet service, the DICT said.

The DICT said last year that it is hoping to establish up to 70,000 free WiFi sites after having launched 19,000 such sites as of August 2025. 

For 2025, the DoTr reported ridership of 66.67 million on the EDSA Busway.

The DoTr expects to carry more than 70 million passengers this year, reflecting greater efficiencies due to modernization.

Since its launch in June 2020, the EDSA Busway has served 341.31 million passengers.

The DoTr is also working on the expansion of the EDSA Busway, it said, with three more stations set to start construction within the first quarter.

The additional stations are in Cubao, Magallanes and the Parañaque Integrated Terminal Exchange, the DoTr said, adding that the new stations are expected to be completed by the fourth quarter. — Ashley Erika O. Jose

Whales Dump 200 Million XRP in Just 2 Weeks – Is XRP’s Price on the Verge of Collapse?

Whales Dump 200 Million XRP in Just 2 Weeks – Is XRP’s Price on the Verge of Collapse?

Whales offload 200 million XRP leaving market uncertainty behind. XRP faces potential collapse as whales drive major price shifts. Is XRP’s future in danger after massive sell-off by whales? XRP’s price has been under intense pressure recently as whales reportedly offloaded a staggering 200 million XRP over the past two weeks. This massive sell-off has raised alarms across the cryptocurrency community, as many wonder if the market is on the brink of collapse or just undergoing a temporary correction. According to crypto analyst Ali (@ali_charts), this surge in whale activity correlates directly with the price fluctuations seen in the past few weeks. XRP experienced a sharp spike in late July and early August, but the price quickly reversed as whales began to sell their holdings in large quantities. The increased volume during this period highlights the intensity of the sell-off, leaving many traders to question the future of XRP’s value.

Can XRP Recover or Is a Bigger Decline Ahead? As the market absorbs the effects of the whale offload, technical indicators suggest that XRP may be facing a period of consolidation. The Relative Strength Index (RSI), currently sitting at 53.05, signals a neutral market stance, indicating that XRP could move in either direction. This leaves traders uncertain whether the XRP will break above its current resistance levels or continue to fall as more whales sell off their holdings. Source: Tradingview Additionally, the Bollinger Bands, suggest that XRP is nearing the upper limits of its range. This often points to a potential slowdown or pullback in price, further raising concerns about the future direction of the XRP. With the price currently around $3.02, many are questioning whether XRP can regain its footing or if it will continue to decline. The Aftermath of Whale Activity: Is XRP’s Future in Danger? Despite the large sell-off, XRP is not yet showing signs of total collapse. However, the market remains fragile, and the price is likely to remain volatile in the coming days. With whales continuing to influence price movements, many investors are watching closely to see if this trend will reverse or intensify. The coming weeks will be critical for determining whether XRP can stabilize or face further declines. The combination of whale offloading and technical indicators suggest that XRP’s price is at a crossroads. Traders and investors alike are waiting for clear signals to determine if the XRP will bounce back or continue its downward trajectory.
