Social Media users trolls DOT by posting tourists spots from other countries then swapping its name to that of the Philippines

July 6, 2023

Department of Tourism (DOT) headed by Secretary Christina Garcia Frasco have been in the hotseat lately because of the new promotional video that they released contains stock footage from different countries posing as a tourist spot in the Philippines.

Of course, a number of netizen including politician in the Philippines are critical of this blunder, prompting DOT to terminate the contract with the DDM. With all these development, social media users are trolling DOT by posting tourists spots of other countries adding the name to that of the Philippines tourist destinations.

The Pyramid of Egypt as Chocolate Hills of Bohol.

Mount Fuji in Japan as Mount Apo in the Davao Region, and Cotabato in Soccsksargen.

The Niagara Falls in Ontario, Canada, posing as the Maria Cristina Falls in Iligan City.

Of course they will include the Dolomite Beach, Manila, which uses the photo of Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Then the iconic Binondo–Intramuros Bridge and San Juanico Bridge using the photo of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, Califronia.

Facebook user Jenny Ranoco made her bucketlist that includes Aurora Blvd. in Cubao, Enchanted Kingdom, Eastwood, Mall of Asia and the famous Bangui Winmills in Ilocos Norte.

And last but certainly not the least, Atty. Chel Diokno jesting that his photo in the Roman Colosseum is the Intramuros in Manila.

Then this IG post of Tricia Robredo with her sisters and mother Atty. Leni Robredo, the post includes the hashtag #iykyk, which stands for “if you know, you know.” The photo was taken in Budapest, Hungary and we Matthias Church as their backdrop.

These posting may appear to nothing more than jokes for their face value, but I’m hoping that Tourism Dept. (DOT) and the country in general will be able to recover from this fiasco and move on and improve their campaigns in inviting tourists in the country.

I’ll more than happy to see a promotional video similar to this video that Tiktok user Josh Chua created;

@txcjosh Not an ad but this is how I fell in love with the Philippines. #tourismphl #djiglobal #DJIPhilippines #DJIJosh #philippines #fyp #foryou ♬ original sound – Joshua Chua

Written in Filipino, Vice President Leni Robredo is as optimistic as ever, specially this coming 2018. Here’s the full text of her message.

Mensahe
Isang manigong bagong taon sa inyong lahat, mula sa aming pamilya at sa Tanggapan nang Pangalawang Pangulo.

Sa ating pagsalubong sa 2018, panalangin natin na patuloy na mamuhay ang liwanag nang pag-ibig at pag-asa sa puso ng bawat isa.

Marami tayong pagsubok na hinaharap at haharapin pa. Nandiyan ang pagkalat nang negatibismo at galit, paglaganap ng kultura ng takot at karahasan sa ating lipunan. Ngunit sa kabila ng mga ito, naging saksi tayo sa katotohanan: na ang bawat Pilipino ay tanglaw sa pag-asa.

Sa bawat kamunidad na ating pinuntahan at sa bawat pamilya na ating nakasalamuha, nakita natin ang kabutihan at habag ng bawat isa para sa ating kapwa.

Kaya’t ngayong 2018m buhay pa rin ang pangarap natin na mabigyan ng mas magandang kinabukasan ang bawat pamilyang Pilipino. Nananatili tayong matatag at determinado sa ating adhikain na iangat ang ating mga kababayan mula sa kahirapan at ipagtanggol ang mga karapatan ang bawat Pilipino.

Muli, isang masaya at masaganang bagong taon sa ating lahat!
