It's more fun in the Philippines
This is the official campaign video of Department of Tourism for the tagline, "It's more fun in the Philippines". I had so much fun watching and laughing at how I couldn't help but agree in all text written on it.
Watch the video. Let's explore The Philippines!
"We are a country named after a Spanish king
To which an American general vowed to return
Or as someone described our history, "300 years in a convent and 50 years in Hollywood"
We're made up of 7,107 big, small, inhabited, tranquil, rocky, sandy, mountainous, foresty, elevated, underwater islands
And one of them just for picnics
We call them…
But you can call us The Philippines
You can choose from black sand, brown sand, gray sand, white sand, pink sand
The world's number 1 tropical beach is only an hour away from Manila
We have the most species in the least space of anywhere in the planet
Out of the world's 500 coral species, more than 400 are here
Along with 12,000 plant species
201 mammal species
581 bird species
plus the sea cow, whale shark, mouse deer, and an eagle that eats monkeys
We speak over 176 local languages
But we love playing around with English
We love food and we love being hospitable
The Filipino food for Hello is, "Have you eaten?"
OUr waiters love to sing
But they leave the dancing to our policemen or flight attendants
The world's most perfect cone isn't found in an ice cream shop
But in the shape of a volcano
Our chocolate hills are limestone
Here, a party is called, a fiesta
We have rice fiestas, flower fiestas, giant fiestas, mask fiestas
We have one every day of the year
And everyone's invited
We have a boxer called Pacman
An actor named DingDong
Places called Bay-Bay, Rapu-Rapu, Iloilo, Sanga-Sanga, Potipot, Bongabong, Tingtingog
Desserts called Halo-Halo, Sapin-Sapin
And a bird called Maya
And a fish called Maya-Maya
You could say we have a sense of humor-humor
People say we're the warmest place on Earth
Because everyone… absolutely everyone knows how to smile
and have fun
It's more fun in the Philippines"
