Why Does Foreign Tourists Prefer Thailand Over Philippines?

Philippines

Thailand

            There are more than 3 million foreign tourists visited Philippines last 2008 while Thailand had more than 14 million tourists flocking to the land of the free. Thailand even attract celebrities and big personalities to visit and even stay in Thailand like Hollywood stars, world leaders, athletes and other celebrities and they even make it their permanent home. So it came as a puzzle to me that the Philippines has as much beautiful places as Thailand if we say natural awesome landscapes and beaches. I found three reasons why tourists still choose Thailand over Philippines.

1. Aggressive Promotional Campaigns. Thailand spends millions or maybe even billions in promoting tourism in their bejeweled paradise. Thailand has enough tourism ads in major news and media networks around including the likes of CNN, BBC, NBC, etc. They also offer excellent travel packages, discounts and other promotional offers it can afford to bring influx of tourists to their country which makes tourism a major industry that sustains their robust economy.

2. Government. Thailand has one of the most effective laws that people adhere to and follow it faithfully. The laws are well implemented and respected by most people. Thais are well disciplined people and maintains cleanliness and neatness around the country. They avoid committing crimes as much possible because harsh penalty awaits those who stain themselves with crimes. Bureaucratic corruption has been lessen tremendously and business friendly laws attract huge foreign investments.

3. Attitude or Personality of the Citizens. Thais are friendly, loving, honest and very kind to anyone contrary to some of the Filipinos. Although Filipinos are naturally honest, kind and friendly people but some who are jack of all trades who knew any petty crimes to high profile crimes who at some point went loose elsewhere doing their nasty jobs to gain their selfish desires. Crimes ranges from pickpocketing and snatchers to big time drug syndicates and burglaries proliferate tarnishing the image and reputation of the country. Plus people are backbiters, gossipers who habitually watch one another maliciously everyday of their life and they are plastic or fake too because they seems friendly and nice when in front of a person but they stab the person treacherously when it turns its back. In other words, they are traitor. I think ignorance and stupidity contributes to this worse attitude. Well on the other hand, Thais who rarely or never exhibits ill manner are well loved and respected by foreign tourists and they love to stay after visiting the country.
 


4. Hotels, Places to Stay, Accommodations and Perks. If you go to Thailand, hundreds of travel agency will give you a thousand options where to stay and how to enjoy your stay in Thailand. In every interesting cities and places in Thailand like Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket, Pattaya, Koh Samui, Krabi, Phi Phi Islands each will offer you a thousand and one ways to stay and have fun which ranges from over expensive to super cheap or affordable and also there are thousand options there to have fun, relax and enjoy your moment. Aside from the coolest perks they offer, you are also given the coolest deals and discounts so they could entice more tourists and visitors and encourage their friends to come to Thailand. Philippines missed BIG TIME on this one.

            The only barrier of Thailand of tapping its full potential is language. If they really want to enjoy the benefits of tourists arrival, they should invest more in learning the English language and only then well they can gain more and more tourists every year. On the other hand, Philippines has a lot of things to learn about Thailand and be inspired by Thais. Ignorance, pride and stupidity are the Filipinos slaves which chained and locked them in their misery. If they want change, they should eradicate ignorance and illiteracy and try so hard to swallow the pride and humbly submit themselves to changes and openness. Else, maybe they want to mass execute all the ignorant, stupid and pride guilty people in the country so as not to spoil the rest of the decent ones.

Carabao Island, A Sweet Alternative To The Crowded Boracay

            San Jose (formerly named Carabao Island due to its shape that looks like the water buffalo) is the southernmost municipality or town in the province of Romblon. It was created with the name Carabao Island on June 18, 1961 by Republic Act No. 3423, and was renamed as San Jose on June 19, 1965 by Republic Act No. 4289. San Jose has a population of 8,226 according to 2000 census. San Jose is politically subdivided into 5 barangays: Busay, Combot, Lanas, Pinamihagan, Poblacion (Agcogon).

        The perfect hideaway for those who prefer quiet and solitude, a few minutes away from Boracay beach crowd. The place is also a haven for snorkeling and SCUBA diving, as a few steps from the shore is a seaweed and coral gardens. Tipok-pok can be reached from Lanas by hiking, mountain biking or motorbike. Cottages or bamboo huts could be built comfortably perched on the rocky cliffs. Both places offer a spectacular view over deep blue sea to Boracay, Panay and Tablas islands, and even as far away as Mindoro island on a calm day.
       Carabao Island finds a white beaches and coves in its natural status. In a beautiful pure virgin white sand beach, Carabao Island is a place where children can play and enjoy the natural beauty of an island paradise, a place where men and women can be children again.

Located almost in the heart of the Philippine archipelago, it remains one of the unexplored treasured islands of the country. With its mystical caves, powder white-sand beaches and crystal clear seawater to boost, Carabao Island, Romblon is indeed a paradise to visit. "Its dazzling scenery will charm you and give you the relaxation you need."

Signs He Can Be A Good Dad

     With Father’s Day fast approaching, it’s no surprise that your dear old dad is on your mind. But if you’re also looking forward to the day when you can give your significant other a Father’s Day card, too, you might want to evaluate his parenting potential. What can you tell now about whether he’ll be a great father down the line? Check out these telling traits.

1. He treats his mother well. What kind of family man will he be? First look at his relationship with his mom. Does he respect her? Laugh with her easily? Enjoy visiting her? Help out with chores or errands? “If the answer is yes, all of this means she did a good job raising him, he naturally likes women, and will like the mom you will become,” says Wendy Allen, Ph.D., a psychotherapist specializing in couples and marriage therapy in Santa Barbara, CA. In fact, respect in general — to other family members, to kids, and to you — should be at the top of the “what to look for” list.

2. He’s selfless. What’s the number one thing you learn when you become a parent? You never come first anymore! So if you’re with a guy who thinks he’s the center of the universe, beware. For Jackie Baker, a Valdosta, GA, mother of one, it was easy to see she wasn’t dating an egomaniac when she found out that he’d spent much of his time caring for his 17-years-younger sister. “One of his major responsibilities was to take care of her in the afternoon when he came home from school,” she says. “He didn’t really go on dates or get to hang out with his friends. I thought, any teenage boy who is willing to give up his time for his sister is a great man. Even to this day he helps out with his sister’s homework whenever he can. I knew when I saw him taking such an interest in his family that he was going to be a wonderful father.”

3. He’s not easily grossed out. Surprise! Kids are messy. There are dirty diapers, vomit — and dirty diapers and vomit happening at the same time. Being a parent means getting comfortable with the eewwww factor. Good fathers are the ones “who jump in to clean up a gross mess and help out when someone else isn’t feeling well,” says Dianne Couris, an author and parenting coach in Oldsmar, FL, and president of Family Choices & Solutions, Inc. Christine Louise Hohlbaum, a mother of two, found this out years ago while on a tumultuous, three-hour ferry boat ride around the Greek Islands. Hohlbaum got seasick five times. “Each time, my then-boyfriend would take my barf bag to the front of the boat to retrieve another one,” she says. “As we pulled into the dock, I knew this man would make a great father. Childbirth and parenting would be a snap for a guy who can carry puke across the Mediterranean without blinking an eye.”

4. He’s a great uncle. “Nephews and nieces are the stepping stones to your own kids,” says Allen. “Does he call them on their birthdays? Does he make dates where he actually has to show up and take them to the movies or an amusement park?” Varina Caton, a Wilmington, DE, mother of two, witnessed such dedicated affection with her future husband and his nieces and nephews. “He would have his nieces and nephews fly out to stay with us,” she says. “He has always made a point of staying in contact with them. He sent some of them to summer camp because their Mom was unable to come up with the money. He has mentored them as they have matured, introducing money management (for obvious reasons!), job skills, people skills and most importantly setting goals. Because of his involvement with his sibling’s offspring I knew he would make a great dad, and he has!”

5. He doesn’t mind taking direction from his partner. “If a man resents being told what to do, then working with him on his children’s schedule and responsibilities could get tense,” Couris says. “Running a family schedule is usually [the mother’s role] and the father typically needs direction.” How can you tell if he’ll respond well to family life? Notice how he takes to your suggestions (“I think you should pack more than one pair of underwear for our week at the beach”) and how he reacts to your plans (“Don’t forget: Thursday is my uncle’s 73rd birthday and we’re all going to dinner”). If you get a positive reaction, you’re onto something!

6. He likes ketchup. And he understands the importance of blowing the paper cover off of a straw and seeing if it can reach across the table. In other words, he has a playful sense of fun, and doesn’t take himself too seriously. Those could be the most telling sign of all. You’ve got to have a sense of humor to get through life with kids.

Now, here are a couple of signs maybe he’s not destined to be the world’s best dad:

1. He can’t go with the flow. A good dad needs to be flexible, easygoing and not easily flustered. Having a kid means that dinners will get canceled, and vacations will be marred by bouts of the flu. If he’s the type who sweats the small stuff and can’t easily adapt to change, he may be in for a tough time as a dad. “I dated one guy who planned every weekend as if it was a military operation, and he totally blew a gasket if there was any fluctuation from his plans,” recalls Elizabeth Bach of Westfield, NJ. “He wasn’t so into the idea of having kids anyway, and I thought that was a good thing — he’d probably be one uptight, inflexible dad!”

2. He doesn’t pitch in around the house. “Any man who considers himself above anything… is going to have trouble serving his or her majesty: the baby,” Allen says.

Archaelogists Unearthed World's Oldest Gay Caveman Near Prague

         Kamila Remisova Vesinova and her team of researchers from the Czech Archeological Society believe they have unearthed the remains of an early homosexual man. The remains date from around 2900-2500 B.C., on the outskirts of Prague.
        That claim stems from the fact the 5,000-year-old skeleton was buried in a manner reserved for women in the Corded Ware culture: its head was pointed east rather than west, and its remains were surrounded by domestic jugs rather than by hammers, flint knives and weapons that typically accompany male remains. (Should you eat like a caveman?)
       "From history and ethnology, we know that people from this period took funeral rites very seriously so it is highly unlikely that this positioning was a mistake," Vesinova said at a press conference. "Far more likely is that he was a man with a different sexual orientation, homosexual or transsexual."
       Katerina Semradova, another member of the team, admitted there have been other instances of men being buried with implements reserved for women and vice versa. Her colleagues previously unearthed a female warrior from the Mesolithic period who was buried in the fashion of a man. And she noted that latter-day male Siberian shamans or witch doctors were buried with ornate funeral accessories, like jewels, to reflect their elevated position in society.
       But those burials reflected the dead's position in society, not their sexuality. "This later discovery was neither [a warrior nor a witch doctor], leading us to believe the man was probably homosexual or transsexual."

I Hate Some Of The Final Questions At Binibining Pilipinas 2011

I love the ladies answers but I hate some of the questions mostly from ambassadors and ambassador's wife they're too tacky and mediocre they are already considered obsolete questions in beauty pageants. Most impressive questions asked about current events were asked by Charlemagne Yu, Palace Spokesperson Edwin Lacierda and magazine editor Ernie Lopez. We should write and petition MU org. and Mr. Trump to take away the MU franchise from Stella Marquez and give it to a Filipino! Actually there is already a facebook page asking for Stella Marquez Resignation! I know Miss Stella Marquez will be gracious and generous enough to hand over the Binibining Pilipinas Organization, which sends representative to Miss Universe, to interested Filipinos.

(Araneta Coliseum, Quezon City) General Santos City-born Shamcey Supsup, the 2010 architecture board topnotcher, was named the 2011 Binibining Pilipinas Universe during the pageant coronation night on Sunday, April 10 at the Araneta Coliseum.
         A surprised yet ecstatic Shamcey, who also graduated magna cum laude from the University of the Philippines Diliman, will represent the country in the Miss Universe Pageant in Sao Paolo, Brazil.
         "I still can't believe it. Parang panaginip. Kanina nung nag announce na sabi ko it's God's will. If it's for you, it's for you. You just have to believe it," Shamcey said in an interview after the pageant. "Whatever happens, it happens for a reason and God has a plan for every one of us... Ang dami talagang magaganda. Ang dami talagang magagaling. Feeling ko the judges had a hard time choosing the winner for the year."
          Asked if she's now feeling the pressure of accomplishing the feat of Venus Raj, who won fourth runner up in the Miss Universe pageant in Las Vegas last year, Shamcey said:
          "I'm not pressured at all kasi I believe I was here for a reason and whatever my destiny is, I'll do my best. I'm just gonna give it my all and I hope that whatever I'm gonna do there [Brazil] yun ang hinahanap nila at kung para talaga sa 'yo para talaga sa 'yo," Shamcey said.
          Shamcey bested 39 other candidates in the pageant. Aside from winning the major title, she also won three special awards: Miss Cream Silk, Ambassador of Philippine Airlines, and Miss Talent.
Meanwhile, Iriga native Dianne Necio bagged the Binibining Pilipinas International title and Pasig City resident Isabella Manjon was crowned Binibining Pilipinas Tourism.
          For Dianne, it is a dream come true after winning the first runner up plum last year."Last year, I joined and I ended up as first runner up and it was talagang pinagdasal ko. Kanina I'm not expecting anything. Sabi ko lang, 'Lord ibigay mo kung ano yung gusto mo ibigay.' So I'm just thankful na I will have the chance to compete in an international title... Talagang pag di mo tinigilan yung dream mo, maaabot mo siya and keep on praying," Dianne said in an interview.
          Isabella, on the other hand, could not contain her joy in winning the Tourism crown. "I'm so overwhelmed right now. Sobrang I feel blank. I'm so happy," she said.
         Other winners are First Runner Up Janine Tugonon and Second Runner Up Mary Jean Lastimosa.
         Rouding up the 15 semifinalists were: Candidate No. 6 Patricia Tumulak, Candidate No. 8 Marie Kristina May Marasigan, Candidate No. 11 Diana Arevalo, Candidate No. 13 Queenierich Rehman, Candidate No. 16 Sabrinne Al-Tawil, Candidate No. 19 Wendy Lucas, Candidate No. 23 Luzelle Felipe, Candidate No. 30 Kathleen Subijano, Candidate No. 32 Jenn Roe Gubat and Candidate No. 37 Sarah Clenci.

This year's special award winners are:

Manila Bulletin Reader's Choice: Luzelle Felipe

            I am very happy with the winning of Shamcey Supsup and Isabella Manjon and actually I am teary eyed by what had transpired. First from the impressive performance of the ladies, second to the beauties who have gone by and most especially fitting tributes to Maria Venus Raj, Krista Kleiner and Czarina Gatbonton. But most of all I am very happy for Shamcey Supsup competing for Miss Universe, for Isabella Manjon who will compete in Miss Tourism Queen International but I thought Manjon could've place better competing in Miss International but still happy for her and finally for Dianne Necio finally after competing again she finally got a title she wants and compete in Miss International. Although her answer last night were less potent and powerful than her answer a year earlier and the other top 15 semifinalists answers were more eloquent, persuasive and strong that deserves her spot, I am still happy for her and hopes three of them will prepare well for their respective competitions. For the runners up, Tugonon and Lastimosa congratulations as well and if you want a title please do compete next year or other national pageant competitions like Miss World Philippines and Miss Earth Philippines.I am happy as well for special award winners like Samantha Purvor and Angelia Ong, truly a memorable evening for them. For the rest, either who made it in the top 15 semifinalists or missed the cut most especially my favorites, please please please grant my favor to join again next year in the Binibining Pilipinas or join other other national pageant competitions like Miss World Philippines and Miss Earth Philippines because you deserves to compete internationally. If needed, I will ask a battalion of pageant followers to sign petitions for these lovely ladies to join the national pageant sending delegates internationally. If still not convince I will push these lovely ladies LITERALLY to force them to join. Really have mercy ladies, please do join next year or other beauty pageants! Congratulations to all the winners, may you make our dear country Philippines proud and bring home the crown and to all who made this event astounding successful and a moment to last a lifetime, thank you very much! Until the next beauty pageant this year and succeeding years to come. May a fruitful blessing from God will be upon us!
