SAN JOSE, NEGROS ORIENTAL -- Caviteño indie entrepreneur and pisonet mogul 'Rolly D. Priego' (known online as "Yalu") is on a comprehensive Visayas tour, establishing his business trip to Metro Cebu by layovering the Negros Island Region (NIR). Following the installation of 10 personal computer pisonet stations in Bicol, Yalu is expected to travel to Cebu City this weekend. A Cebuano client is expected to pay a large tech order, which will enable them to roll out their pisonet business ahead of the holiday season.

In late-November of this year, the entrepreneur and pisonet mogul had already established a presence in Negros Occidental, delivering and setting up their pisonet business for paying clients in Bacolod, Talisay & Silay, utilizing localized double-decker tables as PC station units.

Disney XD News and OneNETnews actively observed its logistics, which include a 5-hour drive from Bacolod, the said province of 'Negros Occidental', to either 'Tampi Port' in San Jose or 'Sibulan Port' in Negros Oriental. From there, he uses Maayo Shipping Incorporated (MSi) for the 30-minute ferry transit to Cebu, where he is delivering and ordering 20 PC sets. In addition to the PC pisonet set deliveries, Yalu is actively seeking a local assistant and volunteer to help manage their pop-up operations at "Yalu Shop" once he arrives in Metro Cebu.

"Sa mga [Sugbo] diha! Makita-kits tayo kasi, e-dedeliver po ako doon ng [dalawangpu't isang pisonet computers]. Sa mga gustong sumabay, mag-sabay na kayo [dito sa Cebu] para ma-e setup ko na at isa na pong puntahan", concluded Yalu in Tagalog dialect. The high demand for its pisonet model, sold by Yalu, concentrates on this complicated, multi-island trip. This great delivery leaves Cebuanos now to become the newest center of the growth of his booming business.

(3rd and FINAL UPDATE) BACOLOD, NEGROS OCCIDENTAL -- Over the past weekend, a Filipino-Singaporean local computer shop client for Silay had recently acquired more or fewer than 10 computer sets intended for coin-operated use. While two (2) other local clients in Bacolod and Talisay similarly delivered the expensive computer units, which overall is 20 orders split to 3 locations. These tech units are slated for renovation and setup.

'Rolly D. Priego' (known online as "Yalu"), a former perfumist and gaming content creator turned indie entrepreneur and pisonet mogul based in a municipality of Silang, is now heading to Bacolod City in Negros Occidental province, using a complex logistical pathway that consists of four (4) layover stops at Batangas, Mindoro, Caticlan and Dumangas via ferry transit.

The entry path that Yalu has taken in the tech world is notably impressive. He began as a Caviteño gaming YouTuber in late-May 2018 before his first local appearance as a business owner. But it was transformed by the global situation that had changed radically a few years later when the Chinese pandemic broke out worldwide. In such a difficult time in early and mid-2021, he shifted temporarily to set up his own local perfume brand. By 2023, he had switched his focus to establishing a long-term computer shop business that integrated personal computer (PC) services with arcade rentals.

These pisonet terminals have been highly popular among the Filipino youth. Children and teenagers have a cheap entry to the internet and video games by simply putting in a coin in Philippine pesos. The technology was invented in the early 2010s with the specific purpose of overcoming digital divide, making much-needed access to people who do not have access to home internet at all and being a more affordable alternative to the visitors of traditional internet cafés.

Cartoon Network News and OneNETnews previously monitored its situation on the ground in three (3) key areas. Citing from his uploaded social media videos Sunday morning (November 23rd, 2025 -- Bacolod local time), Yalu delivers a substantial number of pisonet computer sets on black double-decker tables as localized station units in the intersection of 'Pollentes Building, Silay City' located approximately a 40-minute drive outside the "City of Smiles". While also in Bacolod and Talisay, it is all good to go. Following the arrival, the final on-board shipping cost is PHP21,000 and vice versa when doubled, which is possibly subject to Philippine tax by the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR). With the Christmas season fast approaching, he is taking charge of the renovation and setup of these units in person within as fast as just a few days from now. Not only that, residents in Silay City are required first to pay and to login or log out by creating their own local account, every time they browse the internet or play video games.

Today, the Negrosanons joyously greet their mentioned Caviteño computer entrepreneur and pisonet mogul. With digital literacy positively gaining momentum in the upper borders of Negros Island Region (NIR), the idea of entrepreneurs such as Yalu devoting themselves to the use of technology by all is encouraging to invest in financial tech. It makes us a helpful reminder that to get connected, it is not only a luxury but also an essential tool in our lives that is related to education and building communities. Bacolod, Silay and Talisay officials and residents anticipate the opening of this local pisonet shop by the Q1 2026.
