Kahit anong gawing paandar ng DOT to promote tourist destination ng PH hindi na papatok kong lokal mismo sinukuan sa sobrang high cost ng mga tourist spot ditey, halos lahat gahaman sa kwarta
we invest in logos, jingles, posters etc when we could have better used the money to improve airport transfer, toilets in tourist areas, remove "entrance/environmental/LGU fees", food packaging etc that give tourists the good reason to come to and explore the country. kahit anong palit mo ng tagline, logo, singer and song, kung same ang issues, coming to the Philippines once is enough
This is very true. Mas mahal pa ang Bohol vacay namin kesa sa HK namin. Ang hotels and resorts lang dito sa province, Bicol in particular, tinalo pa ang mga hotel sa HK and vietnam. Nakakaloka.
10:37 hindi rin naman kagandahan ang toilets at airport sa cambodia at vietnam pero attractive sa turista kasi mura lang... wala pa 17k nagastos ko sa angkor wat tour all in na.. including RT airfare, hostel, food, group tour...
THIS! Thailand and Vietnam are more affordable. Both countries have better infrastructure and better food. I work in the airline/travel industry. I can't help but compare it with the Philippines. In terms of customer service (observing hotel staff) - halos similar tayo sa Thailand, kasi both countries are hospitable. Mas angat tayo in our English speaking skills. Pero mas angat ang Thailand :(
I always say Manila could have been Bangkok. And Vietnam? Na-surpass na nila tayo :( Booming ang economy nila.
I love Thailand.. Hindi ko masyado bet vietnam. pero okay din puntahan.. tsaka kasi geography plays a big factor din.. imagine.... isang trip lang yung Indochina ko - HCMC, Siem Riep, BKK... 3 countries in one trip lang... mas bet sila puntahan ng europeans at americans at australians... tsaka kasi sa Pinas, puro Catholic Churches,,, marami na sila nyan sa Europe... mas gusto nila makita temples...
sana makahabol ang maynila.. i love Manila. konting push lang.
1:17 Agree on many points. Same observation tayo - Pinas puro Catholic Churches vs Buddhist Thailand, Cambodia, Laos and their temples, and more exotic sa mga puti. 4 years ago ko lang na-realize na why would the Europeans want to visit our churches, eh meron din sila nun? Agree din ako sa Indochina geography factor.
Kaya I'm doing some de-colonizing and starting to appreciate our Southeast Asian heritage more. Nice interacting with you here on FP 🙂
Ano ba habol nila diyan Surfing? Mas maganda pa sa Baler mag surfing kaysa diyan. Baka naman mga AFAM ang habol nila OMG 😂😂 Nagpauto kasi kayo sa hype niyang Siargao. Baler 5 hours lang sa Manila. Di pa crowded. At may portion dun sa Aurora na hindi talaga matao. Maeenjoy mo pa ba ang isang lugar na matao, mahal ang bilihin, mahal puntahan. Syempre di na. Parang Boracay saturated na. Ang dagat puro lumot na unlike nung 90s. What people do not know, they cannot destroy. Ergo what they know, they destroy.
Back in 2019, nagplano kami magbakasyon ng friends ko. Ni-check namin ang Siargao. Jusko, 6k one way lang. Nong ni check namin ang Osaka Japan, aba, P8,600 lang- balikan na. Siyempre, Japan na pinili namin.
This is sooo true i wanted to bring some friends to siargao when i came home to visit i looked at the accommodations and omg i was shocked the price is as expensive as a 2bedroom rental on the amalfi coast and bali even where you can get a private villa w pool. Even self drive car rentals more expensive than in europe sa totoo lang. But i guess somehow okay na din coz i dont think our infra is ready for mass tourism also better din for the environment baka pag dumami tourist may magka idea nanaman na kalbuhin ang mga bubdok at gumawa ng hotels na mala monterrazza or ma evict yung mga locals sa tinitirhan nila alam mo naman gobyerno *not all* issue ng issue ng permit basta may kapalit na pera
Kaya I really admire Cook Islands, may law na nag pinakamataas na building ay hindi dapat lalagpas sa pinakamataas na puni ng niyog. And ang mga beaches walang entrance fee. They were able to maintain it's paradise looks. Even though the country is mainly about tourism.
Lahat gaham, corrupt. What do you expect? From pinakataas hanggang sa mga ordinaryong mamamayan puro panglalamang ginagawa. Dagdag na rin yung hassle ng transportation. Sasakay ka na ng plane tapos may bus/van pa tapos bangka? Isa pa yang mga airlines abusado din
Guys, it’s better to explore other cultures. Hayaan niyo nayang Pinas. Isa lang word about pinas. Corruption. Kaya punta nalang kayo JP, HK, SG, SK,ID,EU,US travel somewehre Not pinas. Pahirapan dyan.
Totoo ang mahal ng el nido.like 27k plus for 2 people wala pa hotel.then hotel nasa 21k for 4 nights 4 days.mas mura pa mag Thailand and Vietnam.maski Japan off peak.
Madaming magagandang pasyalan sa Pinas pero maliban sa mahal ang pamasahe, kailagan mo pang makipagbuno sa mga ilang mapagsamantalang pinoys like taxi etc. Sa ibang bansa tulad ng mga bansa sa EU, bakit ang mura ng pamasahe from country to country balikan 50€ or below nasa 3,400 pesos lang yun. Ganun din sa Asia like Japan 5-8K round trip. Kaya hayun ang Japan embassy Manila fully booked na daw till April para sa mga visa applicants. Bottom line, huwag nalang suportahan ang local tourism baka sakaling magising ang mga lec@eng yan.
Hindi rin tourist friendly and Pilipinas. I'm not saying Siargao. In general, pag may foreigner, parang nakakakita ng monster, either takot or OA sa pansin. Marami pang manggagantso. Lahat may entrance fee or may sasamang tourist guide kuno. Parang mga ignorante.
Even when international artists go on concert tours, Filipinos would rather watch in other Asian countries where concert tickets are cheaper. Derecho vacation na rin.

Wag na kayo mag Siargao. Budol na yan
ReplyDeleteTotoo! I am from Siargao and ang mahal sa General Luna.
DeleteSad pero afam at expats ang mas market ng siargao kesa mga pinoy
DeleteIm an expat but grabe, i found it so expensive when i went there 2 yrs ago. It was probably the most expensive trip i’ve done.
DeleteHype kasi nagpataas ng cost of living diyan, pamasahe etc. Pero ayoko diyan. Madalas ang lindol, bagyo at brownout. Actually un buong Surigao area
DeleteAno ba habol nila diyan Surfing? Mas maganda pa sa Baler mag surfing kaysa diyan. Baka naman mga AFAM ang habol nila OMG 😂😂 Nagpauto kasi kayo sa hype niyang Siargao.

DeleteSa infra pa lng wala na kasi nabulsa na ng mga politicians pinapayaman natin sila
ReplyDeleteAng mahal ng airfares at ng accomodation. Kahit sa di kilalang probinsya, ang hotel rates akala mo 4 star Hotel.
ReplyDeleteBack in 2019, nagplano kami magbakasyon ng friends ko. Ni-check namin ang Siargao. Jusko, 6k one way lang. Nong ni check namin ang Osaka Japan, aba, P8,600 lang- balikan na. Siyempre, Japan na pinili namin.
ReplyDeleteMas malaki nagastos namin a Boracay kesa nung nag Vietnam, hong kong at Thailand kami kaloka
ReplyDeleteTotoo. Ang mahal ng domestic airfares. May environmental fee pa.
DeleteTama po. Siargao is not for budget travelers (so is Batanes).
ReplyDeleteAng hirap mong mahalin, Pilipinas.
Mali pala yung "Mahalin ang sariling atin" mas tama yung "Mamahalin ang sariling atin"
ReplyDeleteOr “Ang mahal na sa atin”

DeleteVery true! Need pang magantay ng seat sale para kahit papanu makatpid sa ticket, tapos hotel mahal pati bilihan mahal pa rin.
ReplyDeleteDito sa Canada mas mahal din magtravel from province to province. Though you have the option to take Via Rail or drive.
ReplyDeleteNot comparable. Ang laki ng Canada icompare sa Pilipinas. Depende din if you are going from East to West.
DeleteDami pa pakulo ni ate alam naman nya ang sagot. Corruption and greed ba?
ReplyDeletenow na alam mo pala, what do you do about it. tanggapin na lang like it's ok?
DeleteThe airlines are there to make money :D :D :D If you have a better business model, go ahead and open a new airline and make it cheap :) :) :)

ReplyDeleteAngmahal nga dinaig pa ang Bali. One night stay sa resort somewhere in south 15k na. Mga pinoy overpricing tlga sa negosyo.
ReplyDeleteOA dami mong hanash
ReplyDeleteGurl, but its our reality. Kahit kami ng family and friends ko ay pinipili magtravel abroad dhil mas sulit ang pera.
Deleteteh, try mo din mag epoplano sa ibang lugar sa Pilipinas. wag lang puro tricycle papuntang ibang barangay sainyo. for sure magkakahanash ka
Delete12:10 Hindi to nakakagala for sure. Hanggag sa mall lang.
DeleteAgree!
ReplyDeleteGuys, it’s better to explore other cultures. Hayaan niyo nayang Pinas. Isa lang word about pinas. Corruption. Kaya punta nalang kayo JP, HK, SG, SK,ID,EU,US travel somewehre
ReplyDeleteNot pinas. Pahirapan dyan.
Totoo ang mahal ng el nido.like 27k plus for 2 people wala pa hotel.then hotel nasa 21k for 4 nights 4 days.mas mura pa mag Thailand and Vietnam.maski Japan off peak.
ReplyDeleteEven prices ng pagkain sa ibang restaurants dito kaparehas na lang ng presyo sa US at Canada.
ReplyDeleteKasi ang alam lang ng gobyerno itaas ang minimum wage. May kailangan pagkuhanan niyan. Lalo na kung ang gastos din sa expenses dahil sa traffic.
ReplyDeleteNasan na yung fake president na mahal na mahal ang siargao? 😂 president pa cool girl Nadine ano na? Walang stance about this? 😂
ReplyDeleteMadaming magagandang pasyalan sa Pinas pero maliban sa mahal ang pamasahe, kailagan mo pang makipagbuno sa mga ilang mapagsamantalang pinoys like taxi etc. Sa ibang bansa tulad ng mga bansa sa EU, bakit ang mura ng pamasahe from country to country balikan 50€ or below nasa 3,400 pesos lang yun.

ReplyDeleteIt is more exFUNsive in the Philippines!
ReplyDeleteMay nakita akong video tour ng Siargao di naman maganda e ano ba meron Jan
ReplyDeleteHindi rin tourist friendly and Pilipinas. I'm not saying Siargao. In general, pag may foreigner, parang nakakakita ng monster, either takot or OA sa pansin. Marami pang manggagantso. Lahat may entrance fee or may sasamang tourist guide kuno. Parang mga ignorante.
ReplyDeleteWorst corruption
ReplyDeleteWorst administration
Worst economic crisis
Worst tourism project
