I recently visited my family for the first time in the Philippines. I was surprised at what I saw. Everyone has a cellular phone. I mean everyone. The Philippines is considered a third world country. The poverty line is about 60 percent. Hunger (as per the newspaper reports) is on the rise. Yet everyone has a cellular phone. Amazing! I read a report which says that the Filipinos are the greatest users of text messaging. Their phones are so hi-tech that they even have GPS tracking on it.
Cellular companies in the Philippines offer their customers GPS tracking facilities. This will allow their loved ones to monitor everyone anywhere. This is particularly useful for kids. Parents will know exactly where their children are at all times. Not so good for the husbands though.
