2012年，旅游部启动了“It’s 菲律宾的更多乐趣”运动。那一年，我们欢迎4.27million visitors to the country. The years succeeding that even showed more tourists going to the 菲律宾. The materials produced definitely gained the attention of travelers around the world. And, I believe that the campaign was instrumental in the increasing number of visitors entering our country. When President Duterte was elected in 2016, I was very worried about the continuity of this campaign. Every new administration likes changing things up in an attempt to leave some sort of legacy. There were even whispers that the campaign would be replaced! Thankfully that did not happen, thanks to the President. *gasp* Yes, I did say thanks to the President and not in a sarcastic way! Please don’t misquote me on this one or throw this back to my face, my dear readers!…
西方民都洛州萨布拉扬的Apo Reef被认为是菲律宾最好的水肺潜水地点之一。这是海军陆战队Protected Area encompassing 34 square kilometers and it is the largest atoll-like reef in the 菲律宾. About Apo Reef Natural Park In 1980, former president Ferdinand Marcos officially declared Apo Reef as a Marine Park. Former president Fidel Ramos declared the entire reef as a protected natural park in 1996. Ten years later, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) submitted the reef for consideration as a World Heritage Site to UNESCO. Turning Apo Reef into a marine park has paid off and made it into a scuba diver’s paradise. Besides Tubbataha Reef in Sulu Sea, Apo Reef is one of the most famous dive sites in the 菲律宾. It has also become one of the most popular coral reef dive sites in the world.…
在菲律宾，Romblon以生产大理石，美丽的白色沙滩和湛蓝的海水而闻名。许多人甚至当地人都不知道best-kept secret lies in the depths of the ocean. Scuba divers and underwater macro photographers have gone to this quiet island in search of the tiniest and rarest creatures they can find. In this post, I will share with you my experience of diving Romblon. After hearing whispers about what this island has to offer, I decided that the long 18-hour trip from Manila would be well worth it. I have gone scuba diving in Romblon twice in a span of a year. My first trip was with my friend, Jem, in April of 2018. I decided to come back on my own in October of 2018. My first trip was cut short due to poor logistical planning. Long story short, it was Holy Week and…
在最近几年中，人们越来越意识到在菲律宾拥有更可持续的生活方式。短语像“zero-waste” or “minimal carbon footprints” have been thrown around by advocacy groups in an effort to promote sustainable living. Terms like “eco-friendly” or “eco-conscious” are used by brands to push consumers to help save our planet. What exactly does it mean to have sustainable lifestyle? Sustainable living simplified Sustainable living is when an individual attempts to reduce his use of the earth’s natural resource. He can do this by altering his methods of transportation, energy consumption and diet. Basically, it is lifestyle where you stop being shitty to our environment! It’s about making better choices when it comes to the things you consume. Your goal is to lessen the negative impact you have on our planet. Having a sustainable lifestyle can’t just happen overnight. It is something…
如果您问一位马尼拉潜水员在马尼拉附近去哪里潜水，他们的首要建议可能是八打雁的阿尼洛。就在南边of Manila, the province of Batangas has some of the best dive sites in Luzon. It only takes 2-3 hours from Manila to get here so it is very convenient for those wanting to go scuba diving, snorkeling or freediving. It is highly recommended among divers, not just because of proximity and convenience, but because of the variety of dives Anilao has to offer. Anilao is a barangay in the municipality of Mabini in Batangas. On its western side sits Balayan Bay where most of the dive sites are located. With more than 50 dive sites in the area, there is always something for beginners to expert divers. If you’re a photographer it is a good place to hone your skills in both macro and wide-angle…
在一个潜水员家庭中长大后，我一直对从事潜水工作很感兴趣。学习如何潜水was in my bucket list for the longest time. I never got to tick it off until one of my best friends and travel buddy, Jem, told me that she was getting a dive certification for free! She was given a diving scholarship in Coral Cay Conservation. This was awarded to Filipinos interested in conservation and volunteer work in the 菲律宾. The one-month volunteer work was in Southern Leyte and it involved a lot of scuba diving and reef surveys! As part of their agreement with their host country, in this the 菲律宾, CCC grants scholarships to Filipinos to help further their conservation efforts. Not a lot of people know about this program so it’s by word of mouth that Filipinos find out about this amazing…
