Communication

         Communication, though still limited, has improved significantly with the installation of  high-frequency radio vhf transceiver with interface that allows even portable radios to  transmit and receive messages direct to and from the Bacolod base station. This system is  owned and managed by the local government and can be availed of by the general public.  SSB radio supplied by the provincial government interlinks all municipalities of the  province.Barangays communicate either by 2-way radios or cellular phones where signal  is available.

        The deficiency in telephone landline services is compensated for by the SMART,  GLOBE cellular telephone service, that provides for a more personal but also a more  expensive telecommunications are service. SMART has already 3 cell sites in the city  while Globe is in the processes of adding more sites to augment its present one.

       The City is also serviced by satellite cable network and internet connection via VSAT  and SMART . A TV relay station fed via satellite under the GMA television network  provides connection to television. AM and FM radio signals are also moderately audible  in the City. There are no internet cafes yet in the area.

        Postal services are provided by the Philippine Postal Corporation in the Poblacion  with sub-post offices in San Jose and Nabulao. Telegraph services are available via RCPI  and PT&T at Barangay San Jose.
