Since
DOT's latest slogan hit the web, it has already gone viral!
Netizens have different opinion on this but come on! I really think the idea is great! I recall Boy Abunda said on The Bottomline (his midnight show at ABS-CBN) that it is already given that we nearly lack resources, but what makes our country a tourist destination is us, Filipinos. Very true.
It's just sad that some of us have pessimistic attitude on everything the government (or even anybody) does. Why not,
"Hey Gov't and your agencies! Be sure the tourists are safe and comfortable; make their destinations more beautiful and breathtaking. Let us do the rest" - Love, Filipinos
Because that's what makes our society, right? Not in a sarcastic way, LOL. Instead, those pessimists criticize the slogan and the whole idea in an uncalled manner. Whenever & whatever bad happens to them they just had to drag the slogan with it and make it look like
STFU world, Philippines' tourism campaign is a fake don't come in here we're just bunch of monkeys screecching! Dudes what the fuck, we're selling tourism in hope that we may once again live the way our parents and grandparents lived during Marcos' era (pre-Marshall Law state)! You know, a bread and Coke that will cost you less than Php 1.00 haha make that happen!
Even a foreign rock band, Simple Plan, agrees with our slogan! See the tweet

I made one too:)
