Latest Mobile Phones Spotted In The Little Hongkong Of The South

Pagadian City is nowhere to be left out this days, it has become one of the most prominent city in the south having just recently been recognize as the capital city of Zamboanga Del Sur. Its called the Little Hongkong Of The South because of its sloping terrain straddled by the mountain range on its north and west boundaries, likely same to that of Hongkong or should I say, worst.

Withholding a major shift in political geography comes an economic development with trade and business flourishing in all fronts. One of the major change in this city is the opening of the most prominent chain of malls in the country, the Gaisano Group of companies opening a gateway for more shops to be accessible particularly prominent mobile phone shops in the country bringing with them the latest devices. Only one shop has this phones for sale though, the Cellworld, located at the third floor of the Gaisano Capital, while the rest of the shops has N95 8GB as among their high price value.

Among the newest phone spotted where Nokia N97, the latest flagship which cost at around Php33,000, expensive tag here compared to others, nonetheless taking advantage of their position of being the only shop selling the device within the area. Nokia N86 8MP was price with Php24,800, a bit cheaper than the Nokia Flagship Stores which costs Php25,800. E75 lands on Php 22,000 price marked, a bit much compared to others. To my surprise, this shop even have 5730 XpressMusic already on their shelf with a tag price of Php16,800, impressive! Bad news for me though, they don't have installment plans for credit cards so I will need to travel to Cagayan De Oro or Zamboanga City to buy my Nokia N86 8MP very soon. I just hope they would offer this in the future, who knows I might buy Nokia Superman in their shop next year.

Pagadian City? Pension House?

If you happen to stop by Pagadian City, Zamboanga Peninsula, Philippines and you don't have a place to stay, I was able to check in to this Pension House that offers cheap rates and comfortable dwelling place, the Napsales Pension House along the downtown area. It very easy to locate, just locate Smart Wireless Center which is a few steps away from this place.

Hit?

The place is decent enough, although it has a neon signage outside that looks like a pub house in a red light zone, it doesn't represent its night impression at all. It has affordable rooms of as low as Php300 pesos for non air conditioned rooms and Php400 pesos for regular air conditioned rooms with no comfort rooms. They have deluxe rooms that have comfort rooms inside but cost Php600 pesos, not my fab, air conditioned rooms by the way have TV's and their beds and pillows smells clean enough.

Misses?

Hallways from the main building connecting to the extension building was pretty narrow, it's not properly contoured, no proper signage and signs among others. What if accidents happen like fire, it will be difficult to escape out of the building. Windows were not properly screened and secondary locks on doors were absent. Televisions have no cable, I wonder why they didn't put cable on their TVs since it will only cost them a single cable line to provide every rooms with cable connection. Best of all, no telephone.

If you don't mind all the misses I mentioned, then this is a good place for you. I have stayed here twice already and so far I haven't encountered any problem yet.

That's all for now, folks!!
