Here in the Philippines, there are a lot of beautiful places , white sand beaches ,waterfalls and other types of attractions. But for it to be promoted well to other countries, the security should be first given attention, because it’s what deters the tourists from coming. However, courageous tourists have been coming back to the Philippines to savor our beautiful places. We can help promote people into coming to the Philippines by our word of mouth and through the net. In your own way, how can we promote the beauty of our places?

So you noticed that i have a Chinese blood. Yes, i do have but it's only 1/4 already. But i guess my eyes says 1/2 . How nice of you to be making that blog about your place. I guess, when you have attracted a lot of bloggers you can tie up with your local government. Please do notify us too, when that blog of yours is already made. Good luck my friend and i hope in our own ways we can truly help promote our beautiful Philippines.

Every country have their own beautiful places to boast of indeed. It's one source of our national income actually. So, as a contribution to the government, we should also make our own little ways in promoting them. What about in your country, is there no problem in terms of rebel groups who can bring harm to tourists?

I love vacationing here in the Philippines, I love it more than traveling abroad. By the end of October, my family and I will go to bohol, and on the first week of november, me and some of my relatives will go to palawan.

I am Filipino. I live in Rizal. But I also enjoy what the Philippines has to offer. Some people would rather go abroad all the time without trying to fully experience what the Philippines has to offer

That's true. Some Filipinos keep on going abroad for vacations. Yet, they haven't even reached some very nice places in the Philippines.

Sunny Florida, I personally love it. Sunshine, the beaches, Walt Disney World, Universal Studios, there is so much to do here. I leave here and I normally vacation within it. I take long weekends to the beach, take my kids to the amusement parks, which they love. We currently have a lot of tourism here, whether it be summer or winter.

EVery country has there own beautiful places to boast really. You don't really have to go out of it to take a vacation. But maybe once you have visited all of them, then it's time to explore the beautiful places that other countries have.

Wow, really! You are lucky indeed to be financially capable of having those vacations. Though, vacations can be enjoyed even in near places actually. The presence of the whole family though, is what makes it enjoyable and exciting.

I definitely agree, even though we enjoy just going to the amusement parks and/or beaches. The last couple of years we've been taking cruises and exploring different islands. My children have been traveling since they were 3 years old and they have visited more places than I have my whole 30 years and they love it. My next goal for 2013 is to visit Alaska, I have heard it is beautiful.

Perhaps I'm the lone American to respond to this so far. I've not yet been anywhere in the Philippines or in Asia or Africa or South America, or "Down Under." I have seen pictures, though, and know that most countries have their own special and beautiful places. In California, where I live, we have beautiful vineyards, rocky coasts and sandy beaches, deserts, forests, and mammoth old Sequoia redwood trees that are thousands of years old and big enough to drive through. We have waterfalls and mountains of all shapes and sizes. I love California, but I also love the mountains, rivers, and coasts of Oregon and Washington, the red rock country, canyons, moutains, and rock formations in Utah, Arizona, and Colorado. I love the wide open spaces and big sky in Wyoming. I see in every place some special beauty God has given for us to marvel in and thank Him for.

Like i said bagarad, every place has their own beauty to boast. Oh, i haven't been to California too in actual life. I have just known of its beautiful places through the internet. Thanks to internet because as we talk abour our places, even if we haven't seen them, we could see their beautiful places. So it's the internet actually that can also help us promote the beautiful places in our respective countries.

I'm a Chinese and studying in the Philippines now,I think most people don't want to come here because of the security.

Yes, my friend, that is the problem here actually. Some wealthy Chinese are being kidnapped, so it's really a problem to them. I just hope , PNoy could really help in seeing to it, that tourists and all people here in the Philippines are secured. But i think, the dangerous places though , are those in Mindanao. So, just don't go to those places, my friend. There are lots of beautiful places in Luzon and the Visayas.

Here in England many tourists go to the capital city which is called London. It has the houses of parliament, Big Ben, the River Thames, the Tower Bridge and Hyde Park. Days out from it to Kent, Surrey and Sussex are possible. My personal favorites are Dover's White Cliffs, Rye, Hastings, Leeds Castle, Canterbury and the bike ride along the Viking Coast. In my local area is a beach popular with tourists from Easter to October. Most people like July and August if there ever happens to be hot weather. I would love to go island hopping and snorkeling in the Philippines. I adore palm fringed beaches.

Oh, yes, England really boasts of a lot of beautiful places and sights. That i am sure, because i get to see it on books, TV and the net. Sure you can come to the Philippines, if you want to go island hopping. You will see lots of beautiful marine life as you go to those boat rides. And snorkeling will surely make it more enjoyable. In addition, we have lots of beautiful white beaches, where sun bathing is really a must for those who love the sun. So, i think i can say that in your own way you promote it through the net and by word of mouth , as both of us ,is doing now.

Dina While i was in your country i travelled and enjoyed tourist spots in Davao, Cebu and Manila, the people i met were so friendly and sober, well exceptions are always there.. Here in india we have wonderful places, the tourism department takes care of them so as to attract foreign tourists, but recently there were rape cases, some women were raped by antisocials, this tarnishes the image.. Best of luck. Professor

It's nice to know professor that you find our country beautiful too. I guess, it couldn't be avoided that some accidents such as women raped by antisocials to tarnish the image of your country. But i think, that one didn't happen to tourists?

Since i talk to foreign people everyday even on weekends, i usually talk about how beautiful the beaches are in our country. Those people are from cold countries thus they long to be in a warm sunny place to get a tan and go swimming. I think that's my simple way of contributing to the promotion of our country's tourism.

Wow, what a wonderful job you have Toni! Imagine , you got to talk with foreigners everyday. Your job could really be an avenue for you to promote our country. Word of mouth is your best friend here. That being so, it pays that you are adept with the places here in the Philippines, much more in speaking English. Keep it up Toni!

Really, jricky. So, where here in the Philippines is your place? Imagine, having water that contains vitamins that we could drink without it being processed. I think that's where some of our mineral waters come from.

the philippines sounds like a place i would like to visit i am very much attracted to beautiful white sand beaches and waterfalls and other types of outdoor nature attractions i live in south carolina and i go to the mountains hiking to see all the waterfalls many times a year but i do not understand why the phillipines are considered dangerous and what is wrong with the security? i am not someone that scares easily when it comes to that kind of stuff but i would like to know what i am getting myself into before i go for spring break this year i am looking around at different places to visit i will definitely consider the phillipines

The Philippines as a whole ,is actually a safe place. The only place that has a problem with security is in Mindanao, a region where there are muslim rebels. They bring terror to people because they want that their place be separate and distinct from the rest of the Philippines' government. They want their own kind of government. But that is not possible because we have one government. I think, if ever you will come here, just visit Luzon and Visayas. They already have lots and lots of beautiful places with nice beaches, waterfalls, mountain parks and other beautiful sights . You will surely love the Philippines. So, that's how i promote my country. How's yours?

Oh thank you for loving Philippines. Actually, a lot of foreigners who comes to the Philippines, would say that too, after they have roamed the beautiful places. In addition, the friendly people makes them come back too. And the good food
