Editor's Notes
- Have you ever seen one of these photos?
- And what do you think about these photos? Last January 6, 2012, the Department of Tourism of the Philippines launch its new tourism campaign named "It's more fun in the Philippines." According to tourism Secretary Ramon Jimenez, the campaign is simple and truthful and answers the simple question
- “Why should I go to the Philippines?” He also said that their strategy is simple: while other countries invite you to observe, Filipinos can promise a more heartfelt and interesting experience. Their campaign is to invite people to join in. We have to be competitive. The tourism industry leader Jaime Cura added that the new slogan is worth a try, considering the DOT has gotten the best marketing and advertising minds to formulate the country brand. Moreover Cura said, “It is simple and easy to remember. It focuses on fun and should therefore resonate to anyone who is thinking of traveling to seek relaxation and fun."
- The campaign featured a new logo, which features a pixelized and colorful image of the Philippine map following the pattern of a banig (handwoven mat).
- A website was also dedicated for the program (http://itsmorefuninthephilippines.com/) but still under construction. On the other hand, the government's new tourism campaign drew mixed reaction from the public, but for the DOT, the new slogan could attract more foreign tourists to the Philippines.
- And imediately several photos featuring things that are "more fun in the Philippines" have been making the rounds on the Internet, prompting others to come up with ideas of their own.
- An image of spider fighting, a popular pastime in the country, read: "Street Fights. More Fun in the Philippines.
- A photo of Ifugaos riding wooden scooters in Mountain province, on the other hand, had the text: “Mountain Bikes?. More fun in the Philippines.
- "Kisses. It’s More Fun in the Philippines" featured the Chocolate Hills in Bohol
- while “Jail Time. It’s More fun in the Philippines" showed a photo of the famous Cebu dancing inmates. So what do you think is the reason why it’s more fun in the Philippines? According to the website of DOT Philippines, Filipinos are
- Filipinos are hospitable because they are famous for being welcoming and warm to all of their visitors, expected or not. The home of Filipinos are always open to visitors.
- Gratitude is another good trait of the Filipinos. They are grateful to those who have granted them favors or who are good to them. Their high sense of gratitude is expressed in the phrase Utang na loob (debt of honor).
- Also Filipinos are cheerful people. This is evidenced by the fact that many Filipinos love to celebrate like fieta or festival. Another reason why its more fun in the Philippines is it’s natural wonder.
- In the official website of DOT, they give the top Philippine tourist destination and one of them is...
- Chocolate hills is a series of 1,268 perfectly symmetrical hills that rise some 30 meters above the ground.
- It is located in Bohol where you can find the famous tarsier.
- Boracay, the white sand of Boracay Beach is so, soooo fine.
- At daytime, tourists having a soothing massage under the shade of a coconut tree beside the shoreline is a common sight. And from dusk to dawn, Boracay turns into one big party place where everyone is welcome to join in.
- Third is Palawan
- Palawan is abundant in wildlife and extraordinary natural beauty.
- And lastly is Vigan, a 18th century Castillan architecture as seen in some 150 stone houses. Some would say these places are very common but if you are bored with the usual tourist destinations. Or if you don’t want to go to these places, you might want to try these top 5 hidden tourist destination by wikipilipinas.
- At 5th place is Catanduanes.
- The island of Catanduanes is still slightly untouched by tourists, making it a great vacation place for those who want to relax. This is Puraran Beach; It is the site of the so-called “Majestic” waves.
- 4th placed is Antique
- Antique has lovely waterfalls, lakes, and rivers, including the Tibiao River, ideal for white water kayaking.
- The province’s highest peak is Mt. Madia-as, sacred mountain and home of ancient gods, home to rare flora and fauna.
- On the 3rd spot is the island of Siquijor. It is known to many as a place of magic and enchantments. It is frequently associated with supernatural creatures.
- However it is a beautiful place of natural white sand beaches, coral reefs, caves and forests, simply worth discovering.
- At 2nd place is Davao Oriental
- Davao Oriental boasts, among others, the “bonsai forest” at Mt. Hamiguitan
- “Tinagong Dagat” (Hidden Sea) and beautiful waterfalls and beaches.
- And the top hidden tourist destination is Romblon
- The province of Romblon is made up of twenty beautiful islands which have been likened to the Mediterranean islands. It also has crystal-clear rivers and waterfalls, and beautiful, as yet unspoiled beaches. To sum it up, the unique combination of fun destinations and the remarkable hospitality of Filipinos make the difference for tourists. DOT’s new campaign is an honest representation of the many things that the Philippines can offer the world. I can say that you wouldn’t search for other tourist destinations and because what really matters is Filipino are fun people. The fun destinations you are looking for in just in front of you. We, Filipinos, should be proud of these facts. And if you don’t still like the things that I said, there are still 7,101 islands to choose from.
