The best ambassadors for Philippine tourism are those who have seen, lived and experienced it themselves. We invite you to share your photos and/or put pen to paper for our "OfficiallyPhilippines.com Photo and Writing Contest".
The power of the visual arts and of the written word has often been used to promote nationalism and national fervor. Through this contest, let us change the way the world sees us and show them who we really are - a country of rich ecological treasures, colorful history, and happy people.
Help us tell the rest of the world about the beauty and excitement of the Philippines enter now. Your entry may just be the reason someone decides to come visit and see our country. _________________________________
Petition for Freedom of Public Photography
Today, there are existing restrictions limiting public photography in several parts of Metro Manila. Some places may require permits that take forever to process, while others simply won't allow it. There have even been several reported instances of harassment by police or security personnel on photographers, artists, and even tourists as a result of this.
Let's make a stand and let our voices be heard. Sign our petition to allow photography in all public places. This petition will be sent to the League of Mayors so that they know this is an issue.
