DjBida
Internet Cafe is located in the far-flung municipality of Buenavista,
Marinduque, 30 kilometers South of Boac, the Capital of the Province,
where landline and Wi-Fi is inaccessible and Internet is strange to
many. It started its humble beginning in January 2005 with only
P350,000.00 as initial capital for five (5) computers, very small
aperture terminal (VSAT) equipment for broadband Internet connection,
software and other cafe paraphernalia. Due to its promotion of free
tutorials, more and more customers learned the basics of computer
operation, web browsing, e-mailing, chatting thus the demand for more
client stations started.
In 2006, more computers were added
and it has extended its Internet service to some government offices and neighbors
through either dial-up service or LAN. Switching facility, Remote
Access Server and power generator were added as an investment to
support dial-up service and to ensure uninterrupted services to our
valued customers especially in times of calamity where commercial
power and cellular networks are down. In the same year, Wireless
Internet access point was also installed to provide neighbors with
either laptop or Wi-Fi enabled mobile phones access to Internet.
In 2007, computers were upgraded with
dual-core processors, replaced old CRT monitors with LCD, renovated
and extended former shop, acquired digital copier (Xerox machine),
laminating machine, digital camera, photo printer and Antamedia Café
Management Software. Nowadays, we have fifteen (15) desktop and
one (1) laptop computers.
The
changeover from NAPOCOR to 3I
Powergen,
Inc. as the main power distributor in the
island of Marinduque in 2008 yielded to a perennial brownouts all over the
province. Enticed with this situation and with the skyrocketing
price of diesel from second to third quarter of the same year, DjBida
Internet Cafe focused its primary backup power to a renewable power
sources. 6-KVA Industrial UPS with 2,000A-h battery bank, 100 Watts
Wind Generator and 100 Watts solar panel were installed to power the
whole shop during brownouts for at least six hours at full load before shifting to
diesel power generator.
In order to provide
our customers with diversified but quality services, products and a
comfortable environment, DjBida Internet Café is constantly changing.
The acquisition of mug
press machine in January 2009 marked the beginning of a new service,
the "personalized mug sublimation
printing". It is the first and only mug sublimation printing
shop in the province.
With our
introductory offer, we can give you the best personalized mugs suited
for all occasions at the lowest price.
With the current investment of more than one million
pesos, DjBida Internet Café will continue to
promote a FAMILY and
BUSINESS location where both can access the Internet, whether you have
a Desktop, Laptop, Wi-Fi enabled mobile phone or use one of our
Computers.
