It's More Fun in the Philippines TVC

By Jameliz -
I saw this video on a friend of a friend's facebook wall but when I sent the link to my bosses in the U.S., it was gone! Looked for it in YouTube and apparently there are hundreds of videos there tagged as "It's More Fun in the Philippines". Luckily, I found it again!

I'm not sure if this is an official TV Commercial from the Department of Tourism but it better be because it's awesome!!





Copy reads:
"We're a country named after a Spanish King / To which an American general vowed to return, or as someone described our history, "300  years in a convent and 50 years in hollywood". / We're made up of 7,107 big, small, inhabited, tranquil, sandy, mountainous, rocky, foresty, elevated, underwater islands, and one of them, just for picnics. We call them Alabat, Almagro, Antocon, Binalabac, Batquis, Balanguingui, Calabugdong, Carabao, Cacatan, Diadekey, Doong, Deatoboato, El Fraile, Fuga, Guntao, Guimaras, Gingoog, Hermana Mayor, Homonhon, Hegad, Icadambanauan, Inampulungan,  Jomalig, Jinto**, Jolo, Kalongkooan, Kaybani, Kang Tipayan Diki, Linapacan, Lapinin, Little Santa Cruz, Masbate, Manicani, Manuk Manka, Naranjo, North Gigante, North Ubian, Oco, Olango, Omapoy, Palaui, Pangangan, Pasegan Gulmba, Quinilugan, Refugio, Remove, Rock, West Nalut. But you can call us, The Philippines. / You can choose from black sand, brown sand, gray sand, white sand, pink sand. And the world's No. 1 tropical beach is only an hour from Manila. / We have the most species in the least space, of anywhere in the planet. Out of the world's 500 coral species, 488 are here. / Along with 13,500 plant species, 170 bird species and 100 mammal species including the sea cow, whale shark, mouse deer, and an eagle that eats monkeys. / We speak over 100 local languages, but we love playing around with English. / We love food and we love being hospitable. The Filipino word for Hello is "Have you eaten?" / Our waiters love to sing but they leave the dancing to our policemen or flight attendants. / The world's most perfect cone isn't found in an ice cream shop, but in the shape of a volcano. Our chocolate hills are limestone. Our 100 islands resort is actually 400 islands. / Here, a party is called a fiesta. We have rice fiestas, flower fiestas, water fiestas, giant fiestas, mango fiestas, mask fiestas. We have one every day of the year.. and everyone's invited. / We have a boxer called Pacman, an actor named Dingdong / places called Baybay, Rapu-rapu, Iloilo, Sanga sanga, Tawi-tawi, Potipot, Bongabong, Tingtingong, Coco Loco / Desserts called Halo-halo, Sapin sapin, and a bird called Maya, and a fish called Maya maya. / You could say we have a sense of humor humor. People say we're the warmest place on earth because everyone, absolutely everyone, knows how to smile.. and have fun. It's more fun in the Philippines."

Movie views: "Moments of Love"

By Jameliz -

"Moments of Love" is a consequence of an old malfunctioning telephone.  The time-machine-like communication device connects the two phone pals, Marco (Dingdong Dantes) and Divina (Iza Calzado) who come from different time periods. They eventually fall for each other, literally giving meaning to the timelessness of love.  Reminiscent of "Somewhere in Time" and notoriously recognized as a rip-off of the Korean film "Il Mare," Moments of Love is short of good acting and character build-up. I understand though that Dingdong made a lot of effort to represent the character the best way possible. However, some of his excessive histrionics are uncalled for, which highlighted the film's shortness of emotional build-up. I just cannot understand how Marco could have fallen deeply in love with Divina to the extent that Marco cries and screams his throat off (in the course of a heavy rainfall of course) upon learning of Divina's death days la...

How to Enroll Your BDO Account for Internet Banking

Banco de Oro has become a fast growing bank ever since it was acquired by the Sy Group. Everywhere you go, you'll always spot a BDO branch or a BDO ATM machine. This is probably the best reason why I decided to open an account with them - besides the fact that most BDO banks are open until 5:30 pm so there's no need to rush just to beat the COB (close of business). Furthermore, BDO branches inside SM Malls are open until 7 pm so you can still pay your bills after you get off work. Anyway, as I've said, I just recently opened a passbook savings account with BDO and one of the first things I asked is if they have internet banking. The Account Officer was very kind enough to walk me through the process and it was after all fairly easy!

MSG Kills Dogs -- But Not My Aunt's!

By -

When we visited my aunt and grandma, I was unexpectedly welcomed by Duchess, my cousin's beautiful dog. It was very unexpected because Duchess had been sick since she gave birth to Chelsea. Her womanly part got so sore that it was sagging and very red. But that night, Duchess jumped on me very excitedly, like I was her long lost sister who came home from abroad. Chelsea, the only pet she gave birth to, was in her aloof but playful self. She's always been wary of strangers, and that includes me.
