The country spends much for advertising the beautiful spots in the Philippines, to promote tourism and attract the foreigners, and to uplift the economic status of the country. In a TV commercial, it was said that the tourism industry provides many jobs... the hotels, restaurants, resorts, and others. In Boracay alone, many people invest in hotels and bars.
Few years back up to present, there are countless incidents that threatened the foreigners and as well as the economy. The peace and order, the lack of understanding among government officials, and the cases filed against high ranking government authorities are just some of the reasons why investors and tourists refuse to go to our country. On the television, we can see journalists being kidnapped and these are not only local journalists, these are also foreign newsmen.
Graft and corruption is rampant. Dishonesty. Lies.
How can they trust us if some of our fellowmen can not be trusted?
How can we promote that our country, filled with natural resources, is the best place to live in?
With the present economic status and the peace and order situation in the country, the question is, do we need to spend more on advertising our country?
