I. INTRODUCTION
In the Philippines, the Piso Wi-Fi vending machine has become one of the
most well-liked topics. Nearly everyone uses high-speed internet connectivity
because nothing is more annoying than having to wait a few seconds for a page to
reload or a few seconds for a page to buffer. Though it is only intended for sporadic
browsing, business, communication, and enjoyment, nearly everyone relies on a high-
speed internet connection. Also, the Piso Wi-Fi vending machine is a type of business
web page that was created to offer convenient and reasonably priced connections to
its users. The beauty of using the Piso Wi-Fi vending machine is that it can be used
whether there is a blackout because it can be powered by a solar panel or by using
sunlight as a source of electricity or what we Solar Panel System. Similar to Globe
Telecom and Smart Communications, the Piso WI-FI company or business offers its
consumers the option of purchasing an internet connection by subscribing to or
buying a low-cost and affordable plan rather than an expensive one (Javeloza 2022).
The Piso WI-FI vending machine is a more complex vending machine than a
traditional vending machine that can simply sell snacks, drinks, and a variety of other
things; also, Piso Wi-Fi vending machines can provide fast internet connections for
up to 100 users with the capacity of 100 meters and can still go beyond that if you
purchase a Wi-fi extender add-on. Piso Wi-Fi may be the next big thing inaccessible
internet, given the proliferation of low-cost cell phones in use today. The base price
of the Piso Wi-Fi machine is roughly $25,000, and it may be operated over any DSL
connection. However, the seller advises using one with a minimum speed of 3 Mbps
because the device's potential revenue stream is increased by its ability to connect
up to 100 users simultaneously (Nieves, 2016). Piso Wi-Fi is a provider of Internet
connectivity, which is a system of interrelated networks that enables global
communication and access to data resources through a sizable number of
institutions (Internet 2020).
However, due to the lack of other internet connections in Barangay Binahian
A, the Piso Wi-Fi has contributed a lot, and it is the thing that they need the most.
Also, it is a self-service, coin-operated machine that allows its users to stay
connected while on the go. Piso WI-FI is fast internet connectivity, all you need to do
is purchase PHP 1 per minute or PHP 20 for 6 hours. In emerging Piso WIFI
businesses, online advertisement is a very important tool for increasing sales and
business exposure, as well as helping the business persuade their existing
customers to act such as valuing the product or service. The fast-paced expansion of
online advertising revenue as compared to traditional media and the Internet (Yasin
and Kadir 2016). Online advertising, on the other hand, web advertising is adaptable
and makes it simpler for the business to update its goods and services (Harbey,
Sharma, and Pant 2013). Customers use this new medium to measure how much
advertising is seen while they are in it and how much they want to see certain
advertisements. Customers will leave right away if they decide that your product (the
Piso Wi-Fi machine) and online marketing are useless (Aziz, Yasin, and Kadir 2016).
Back to the Piso WI-FI: A time-limited internet signal is sent by the coin-operated
device. Users can put in the appropriate number of coins. If you intended to access
more Web sites, the machine will point out a username and password, then the clock
or timer will stop once the allotted time has passed, which is also incredibly
straightforward and very convenient (Prasartkaew). The main theoretical paradigms
in media and communication studies are organized social thought and behavior, but
they have primarily Western or northern cosmologies associated with them (D. 2013).

Similarly, every person in Barangay Binahian A is experiencing very serious
problems concerning their internet connection. Some of them have complained
about the standard Wi-Fi because it provides a slow internet connection. While some
of them complain about how they can access the internet or how they can easily
browse every social media platform without logging. Also, slow internet connections
cause delays in sending emails, causing logs while you are talking to someone thru
Video calls or Phone calls that might affect how a person communicates. Yet, this
was not mentioned in the study by Alburo, Tindugan, and Dacuno 2020, which
focused on vending machines of a coin-operated nature that can provide the least
expensive Wi-Fi connection. In addition, the J2KLC Wi-Fi vending machine is
designed and heavily motivated by the Pisonet concept; When deciding to launch this
kind of enterprise. Also, the acronym of each researcher led to the creation of the
name "J2KLC," which aims to give the community an easy and affordable option to
connect to the internet while also providing potential clients with a profit. Previous
studies by Zhou and Wang in 2019 also focused on the high speed and ease of
deployment of the Internet, and Wi-Fi networks have grown significantly in response
to the demand for wireless data traffic. Hence, in recent years, a variety of sensing
applications have made extensive utilizing the Channel State Information (CSI) that
Wi-Fi networks record, as well as various Wi-Fi sensing applications, lends itself well
to a variety of wireless internet sensing algorithmic rule and warn preparing
techniques, each of which has advantages and disadvantages of its own. The
primary purpose of this study is to identify the negative and positive effects of PISO
Wi-Fi on the sales of every entrepreneur in Barangay Binahian A. This research study
concerns the qualitative analysis of the owner of the Piso WI-FI vending machine
about the challenges, issues, and problems they will face in the emerging Piso Wi-Fi
in Barangay Binahian A. Emerging technologies that catch on all are typically more
evolutionary than revolutionary because technology cannot succeed on its own. In
conducting this research, the researcher will collect all data from the participants
base on the qualitative information through a survey and thematically analyze the
data.
Similarly, with the above-mentioned research and studies, also the
researcher believes that emerging Piso Wi-Fi helps to increase the sales of every
entrepreneurship in Barangay Binahian A. Hence, this study is proposed.

II. BRIEF REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
This section will discuss the identified variables based on the research
questions, such as (1) the Effects of Piso Wi-fi, (2) Common challenges in emerging
Piso Wi-fi vending machines, and (3) The previous sales of every entrepreneurship,
before and after the utilization of Piso Wi-fi. Journals, articles, documents, electronic
materials, and other sources are gathered and analyzed toward the general concepts
of the research study.
Effects of Piso Wi-fi
A miniature internet or gaming device is called Piso Net/Wi-Fi, sometimes
known as "hulog-piso. Coins can be put into the machine as a sign of compensation
by the customers. Typically, the charge is 4 pesos per minute or 15 pesos for every
passing hour in an Internet cafe. In essence, it merges the PC and arcade rental
industries. To draw in customers or boost income by lowering the minutes or peso,
this rate can be changed to higher or lower. With the introduction of the piconet, they
were able to provide data services in "sachets," according to Lim. Because of this,
their clients can only pay for the internet services they use. PisoNet gained popularity
because it provides advantages such as simple upkeep, and no need for additional
manpower. The term "Piso Wi-Fi" is a mashup of "Piso," which in the Philippines
stands for one peso, and "Wi-Fi", refers to a type of internet service provider used to
verify the compatibility of computing hardware for wireless networking. According to
some articles, this company enables customers to pay for internet access with a
small sum of money rather than requiring them to sign up for pricey plans like those
provided by telecommunications providers like Globe Telecom or Smart
Communications. For as little as 20 pesos, customers can purchase internet access,
which gives them unlimited data usage until midnight on the same day.
According to the research by Maxcom (2012-2017), Wi-Fi vending machine
is particularly well-liked in Taiwan. The system is a coin-operated Wi-Fi hotspot pay
terminal that offers indoor venue owners a fee-based or free registration Wi-Fi option
(examples are Tea houses, variety shops, and department stores). By connecting to
the Wi-fi vending machine (wireless Wi-fi), it offers visitors an instant Wi-Fi hotspot
service. Customers simply tap their smartphones on the kiosk's screen to use the
service. It depends on how many hours the consumer wants to browse the internet; A
coin is also put in to access it. The Wi-fi vending machine by Maxcom (2012-2017)
served as the inspiration for the concept among those who are less well off yet have
begun to use information and communication, which is also discussed in the article
of Soriano (2019). Technologies (ICTs) are widely used. The Pisonet operates like
any other computer we are familiar with; a computer is housed inside a big wooden
case. The primary distinction is that the pisonet, which looks and functions similarly
to a video machine, and for one peso ($0.02), provides access to the Internet for 4–7
minutes. Afterward, to maintain access, a user can insert more coins. A timer that
displays the user's current time on the monitor of the device. A timer that is wired to
the device's monitor alerts the user when there is just a minute left until access
expires and displays the remaining access time. Pisonet units, which are run as
autonomous microbusinesses by local businesspeople, are positioned either directly
bound to highways and alleyways on to the blighted area neighborhoods and maybe
in a temporary aviary like an addendum of "Computer Shops," which are made up of
dwellings, or silong.

Common challenges in emerging Piso Wi-fi vending machine
As the term suggests, Piso WIFI needs a structure or area where can install
network hardware and put PCs that the clients/users can utilize. The owner can
utilize an existing structure or location. The owner can find an existing location
elsewhere and rent it out for this purpose if you don't have any space available on
your property and don't want to build anything from scratch. A great location is
essential for any business to survive. Being accessible means all information openly
and consistently, ensuring that everyone can access it, and ensuring that the
Business (Piso Wi-Fi) is flexible and reachable to all. There are endless opportunities
with a running Piso Wi-Fi business in a reachable area that modem Wi-Fi can cover.
Due to the significant infrastructure investment costs and time-consuming
approval procedures, despite a comparatively underprivileged population, the
provider of PLDT, which also owns Smart, can charge prices greater than elsewhere
in Asia because it controls a large portion of the infrastructure (Jennings, 2016, para.
3). The majority of the country's more than 350 Internet service providers (ISPs) link
to PLDT's network, via which they operate as of 2012-017; provided by The Citizen
Lab and the Foundation for Media Alternatives. Only Globe and PLDT/Smart, the two
largest network providers, are currently available as mobile Internet service providers.
Although there are ways for users to get high-speed Internet connectivity, the price is
frequently out of reach for those on a low income. Many consumers find it
challenging to rely on mobile Internet as a primary access point due to the high cost
of high-speed service, which is approximately Fifty-seven U.S. dollars ($57) quarterly,
overmuch in the US and Australia (Jennings, 2016). Facebook's Free Basics offer
restricted connection to other media platforms, and a design regarding the
information required to access images and videos even though it gives access to one
of young people's favorite websites, Facebook. Adolescents are cognizant regarding
the time they spend; Some of our youth respondents described how Free Basics
access to the Internet may be incredibly slow: "It takes forever to open up the page."
Along with the time of day, speed varies. This is to the findings of Global Voices
(2017), which blames Free Basics for creating unbalanced markets for mobile
subscriptions and local content, leading to a "bad internet for poor people" that stops
users from exploring and discovering the global internet. In general, low-end gadgets
paired with less expensive Internet access and marketing lead to an unstable Internet
connection and information constraints that significantly limit what young people can
do online, leading many of them to switch to utilizing public computers. The realities
of access in the area are shaped by broader policy directives brought about by an
interaction of international, national, and local players.
The previous and current sales of every entrepreneurship, before and after the
utilization of Piso Wi-fi
Since technology is advancing quickly right now, the improved Piso Wi-Fi
system employs e-vouchers instead of the conventional hotspot network, which
demands that you print the voucher whenever you want to access the internet.
Following that, all you have to do to connect is tap your device on the machine.
Purchasing Piso Wi-Fi can be very beneficial in these times when most people value
having access to the internet. This is a great idea for those looking to launch a small
business since it only requires a capital of about 30,000 Philippine Pesos worth of
investment. Sales of just one Piso Wi-Fi unit range from Php 200 to Php 500 every

day, or P6,000 to P15,000 per month, but they can go up to P44,000 in a month.
About the number of users and what computers you possess, your sales may vary.
According to the existing research of Soriano (2019), Internet connectivity became
significantly more affordable and accessible to individuals with low incomes with the
advent of the pisonet in the early 2010s. Along Cebu, Bicol, Dumaguete, Iloilo, and
Bulacan provinces have records of the use of pisonet units, even though this article
does not specifically address the results of this comprehensive study. Pisonet units
were initially developed as a rural countermeasure to the booming Internet shops and
cafes in Dagupan City. Due to their popularity in low-income areas, numerous Internet
providers had to close because their customers preferred nearby prison/WI-FI
equipment that was frequently just a few steps from residences.
A Wi-Fi and other routers both utilize the IP addresses10.0.0.0.1–10.0.0.1
for access to the PISO WiFi Admin Login Portal (10.0.0.0.1 - 10.0.0.1 Piso Wifi" 2022-
01-21). Due to the low entry fee of one peso, a user with limited resources obtained
through a school grant can use the unit for a brief period. In Metro Manila, the price
of a brand-new, fully functional machine with a coin-slot facility range from P9,000 to
P13,000 (about $250 to $300). The pisonet owners would then receive a broadband
subscription, which would cost P999 or P1,300 (US$20–$25) a month and allow for
the sharing of two or more computers. This study claims that the pisonet business
helps them support their family's needs depending on the time of year, prices might
range from P300 ($7.5) during the sluggish or wet season to P600 ($10.2) during the
busiest times. The pisonet owner may also act as its manager due to its low
maintenance design or caretaker, in charge mostly of changing money and making
sure users don't steal the device.
Theoretical Framework
This study tackles the existing theory of Capital Structure, that is related to
Piso Wi-fi.
Theory of Capital Structure
Capital structure theory; Which is the study of the "Agreement in
investment," is one of the most well-established areas of interest in finance. This part
of wisdom explores the relationship between the rights of corporations and the
Government to the future value of creation by the company. The acknowledgment of
the fact that organizations are made up of interconnected shareholders, lenders,
staff, executives, vendors, distributors, and clients may all engage in agreements has
been added to this area of finance over time. referred to collectively as
"stockholders."
However, the foundations of capital structure theory were established in
1958 by Modigliani and Miller's fundamental study. In a subsequent study, Modigliani
and Miller (1963) extended their model to account for taxes and demonstrated the
positive effects on a company's market value and cash flows. They also showed that
the company's choice of financing has no effect on the firm's cash flows in an
abstract environment without fees or agreements expenses, and consequently, has
no impact on the firm's market value. By outlining a model wherein tax gains
associated with debt are offset by elevated bankruptcy costs, the optimal capital
structure hypothesis developed by Modigliani and Miller in 1973 was influenced by
Kraus and Litzenberger. According to Warner (1977), who looked at the size of direct

bankruptcy expenses for representative railroad companies, the estimated present
value of the out-of-pocket costs of bankruptcy is regarded as being negligible in
comparison to the firm's market value. This set of theories explains studying
government policy concerns like the relationship between tax policy and the use of
debt as a financing mechanism. Conflicts of interest between owners, managers, and
bondholders are discussed by Jensen and Meckling (1976), along with how these
conflicts may influence business finance and investment choices.
Conceptual Framework
The establishment of Piso Wi-Fi and the sales of every entrepreneur are the
two key factors in this research study:
Piso Wi-Fi is a combination of the words "Piso," which in the Philippines
stands for one peso, and "Wi-Fi." According to several studies, this Piso WI-FI lets
clients pay for internet access with a small amount of cash rather than requiring
them to sign up for pricey plans like those provided by telecoms firms like Globe
Telecom or Smart Communications. For as little as 20 pesos, customers can
purchase internet access, which gives them unlimited data usage until midnight on
the same day (Len. Javeloza 2022). With the introduction of the pisonet and Wi-Fi in
the early 2010s, Internet connectivity became much more accessible and affordable
for people with low incomes, according to a recent study 1by Soriano (2019). Given
that it only calls for a capital outlay of roughly PHP30,000, this is a fantastic concept
for anyone wishing to start a small business. Sales of a single Piso Wi-Fi device were
from Php 200 to Php 500 a day, or P6,000 to P15,000 per month, but they might go
as high as P44,000 per month. However, it may depend on how many consumers of
your Piso Wi-fi and the vending machine you own, your sales may change. As the
term suggests, Piso Wi-Fi needs a structure or area where can install network
hardware and put PCs that the clients/users can utilize.

III. SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS
This research study is conducted to determine the effects of establishing a
Piso Wi-fi vending machine in increasing sales among entrepreneurs in Barangay
Binahian A; To be specific, the previous and current sales of entrepreneurs.
This research study is limited to participants. There are inevitable
limitations, and one of these is the availability of Piso Wi-Fi owners that served as the
participants of this research study. The researcher will use the Phenomenology
method.
IV. METHODOLOGY
A. Research Design
This research study is conducted based on the design of the
Phenomenology method, where Interviews and observations are both used in this
method. Combining several pieces of information through interviews and
observations resulted in a more accurate analysis or interpretation of a situation.
B. Research Locale
The researcher conducted the study at Barangay Binahian A, in the
municipality of Lopez, province of Quezon. The researcher believes that this
Barangay is the best place for the research to conduct the study to identify the
effects of establishing Piso Wi-Fi among the targeted participants of this research
study entitled, "A phenomenological study about the effect of establishing Piso Wi-Fi
Vending machine in increasing the sales among entrepreneurship in Barangay
Binahian A, Lopez, Quezon.
C. Population and Sampling
The study is participated by 3 owners of the Piso Wi-Fi vending machine
(Participant), particularly this research aimed to study the effect of the Piso Wi-Fi
vending machine on the sales of every entrepreneur in Barangay Binahian A; The
stratified random sampling has the aim to achieve concrete samples and data.
D. Research Instrument
For the instrument of this study, the researcher used a Structured interview,
in a structured interview, a set of interviewees were each given questions and will be
recorded with the aid of a standardized process. The researcher asks for the
assistance of the teacher in validating the instrument used. Also, the researcher will
use Non-directive interviews that include open-ended questions. According to
Smartsurvey (2023), an open-ended inquiry demand that the respondent uses their
own words to explain their response. These offer the participants to add more details
than a straightforward yes or no.
E. Data Gathering Procedures
In gathering the data, the researcher followed the following steps in
collecting the data:
1. The researcher must focus on current issues, by confirming already facts or
highlighting fresh perspectives.

2. The researcher will be going to send a private letter to the respective Barangay
captain of Barangay Binahian A, asking for permission to conduct the study.
3. Another letter was also sent to the selected participants, to ask for their
permission to participate in the research study.
4. The actual interviews with the participants, but also with the authorization of our
practical research teacher, as well as the permission of the Barangay captain of
Barangay Binahian A.
5. The researcher will decode every participant's response into thoughts.
6. Analyzing, it seems natural that the researcher will break down a big amount of
data into smaller pieces by analyzing each participant's response to decrease data
and interpret it to conclusions.
7. Lastly, to show effective data in this research paper, the researcher will employ
tables.
F. Data Analysis
The researcher used thematic analysis in this research. These are the
following steps in making a thematic analysis.
Step 1: Gather data.
Step 2: Carefully analyze and read the data that gather.
Step 3: Coding.
Step 4: Creates a new code to differentiate the collected data.
Step 5: Evaluate the information based on the data that gather.
Interview and observation are both used to interpret every participant's
response. This phase will be used to develop a thematic analysis base on the data
that the researcher collected from assertions and interpretations of the meaning of
data from all participants in this study.
G. Ethical Consideration
Anytime they choose, the participants can join or leave the research study.
Participants should be aware also of the study's goal, advantages, risks, and finding.
However, whether the researcher knows who the participants are, anyone else
shouldn't know. Also, to prevent others from connecting to the data, the researcher
should anonymize personally the identifiable information of the participants, and
there should be no kind of harm to your participants, including social and
psychological.
IV. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
This part of the research paper presents the analysis and interpretation of
the gathered data through the use of Thematic Analysis. Findings were presented
using tables to show the connection of all variables.

Table 1. The Effects of Establishing a Piso Wi-Fi Vendo Machine.
The findings imply that the Piso Wi-Fi affects the participants, and one of
these is having easy access to the internet and, to all networking sites like Facebook,
Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, Netflix, Telegram, Viber, Litmatch, and many more; but
also because it provides a strong internet connection because nothing is more
annoying than having to wait a few seconds for a page to reload or a few seconds for
a page to buffer. Though it is only intended for sporadic browsing, business,
communication, and enjoyment, nearly everyone relies on a high-speed internet
connection; based on the data that the researcher collected, Piso Wi-Fi also helps
participants to make extra income and help the participants with their daily needs.

The same findings of research by Maxcom (2012-13), indicate that, by
connecting to the Wi-fi vending machine (wireless Wi-fi), it offers visitors an instant
Wi-Fi hotspot service. Customers simply tap their smartphones on the kiosk's screen
to use the service. It also depends on how many hours the consumer wants to
browse the internet.

The findings showed that many challenges affect the function of the Piso
Wi-Fi, as well as affect their sales; one of the events that affect the Piso Wi-Fi
machine is when there is a brown-out or power interruption, and even when there is a
heavy rainfall; Due to these circumstances the Piso Wi-Fi service stops, so it is not
profitable, which blames Free Basics for creating unbalanced markets for mobile
subscriptions and local content, leading to a "bad internet for poor people", that stops
users from exploring and discovering the global internet. In general, low-end gadgets
paired with less expensive Internet access and marketing lead to an unstable Internet
connection and information constraints that significantly limit what young people can
do online, leading many of them to switch to utilizing public computers.

Table 3 shows all of the responses of the participants concerning the previous
and current sales of every entrepreneurship in Barangay Binahian A; To be specific,
before and after the utilization of Piso Wi-fi. It also indicates that there is a large gap
between the Previous and Current of every Entrepreneurship that will affect their
income and sales.
The findings revealed that there is a big difference when it comes to the
income and sales of the participants, then and now. Before, they didn't have a Piso Wi
-Fi machine, they only earn around Php 5,000-Php 20,000, and now that they have a
Piso Wi-Fi machine, their income, and sales are rise-up, up to Php 30,000. Also, Piso
Wi-Fi business helps them to support their family's needs; depending on the time of
year, prices might range from P300 ($7.5) during the sluggish or wet season to P600
($10.2) during the busiest times. The Piso Wi-Fi owner may also act as its manager
due to its low maintenance design or caretaker, in charge mostly of changing money
and making sure users don't steal the device.
Similar to the study done by Soriano (2019), the sales of just one Piso Wi-Fi
unit range from Php 200 to Php 500 every day, or P6,000 to P15,000 per month, but
they can go up to P44,000 in a month. About the number of users and what
computers you possess, your sales may vary.
Research Output
Distribution of leaflets
The researcher will distribute leaflets, also known as ILAEBBA
(Implementation of Leaflets among the Entrepreneurs in Barangay Binahian A), that
can use to enhance the managerial skills and strategies of the Piso Wi-Fi owners in
