It IS more fun in the Philippines! By Miguel Salvador

         Honestly, people would have to admit, it IS more fun in the Philippines. From my point of view it shows a lot of how Filipinos are in general are fun loving. You may take away everything from us, but in the end, we are resilient and still get the chance to smile and appreciate our lives. Even the inside joke ads about our sabong or the one where we showcase how young kids don't have to think about the legal age show how "fun" we are in our country. But all that was mentioned so far is just one aspect that is personal with the masses of the Filipinos and that only those who live in our country would get.


 Of course, for those who are foreign to our country, we have ads that showcase how beautiful our country is. And these ads and it's taglines are interestingly witty and funny. Shallow as i may be, for me i found most of ads funny. Nature lovers would love to visit our great scenery. And party goers and water sports lovers would love to go to our hot spots like at Boracay or Cagayan De Oro or even at Palawan. Our country really is a great getaway for people. Plus, we should be proud of these because it shows that in general Filipinos have a sense of humor and have
beautiful country.

In my opinion, i like these ads because they showcase our "pagka-filipino". It sums up, in a way, our culture in a photograph. Take away all biases and just look at these ads, i bet these ads would really catch your eye and would truly say, "Wow, the Philippines looks fun! I think i wanna go!" As for filipinos, these ads would just give us a sense of sentimentality to our nation and our country and just say, and even i would proudly say, "oo nga, ang saya nga sa atin!"
