In the [[Philippines]], internet cafés, also known as '''computer shops''' (often abbreviated to '''comshop'''), are found on almost every street in major cities; and there is at least one in most municipalities or towns. There are also internet cafés in coffee shops and malls. High-end restaurants and [[fast food]] chains also provide free broadband to diners. Occasionally some internet cafés offer gadget repairs, print or photocopying, and other services. Rates range from P10 (US$0.20) per hour or less, depending on PC specifications) on streets, and up to P100 ($2) per hour in malls.
In some major cities with existing ordinances regulating internet cafés (e.g. Valenzuela, Marikina, Davao, Lapu-lapu and Zamboanga), students who are below 18 years of age are prohibited from playing computer games during regular class hours. Depending on the city, regulations vary in their exact details and implementation.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.icafeproject.com/internet-cafe-city-ordinance/ |title=Internet Cafe City Ordinance - Philippines |publisher=iCafeProject |date=2012-06-19 |access-date=2012-06-20}}</ref> Such city ordinances usually also require internet café owners to:
