Making PHL tourism campaign “It’s more fun in the Philippines” work #ItsMoreFunInThePhilippines
Do you like “”It’s more fun in the Philippines” , the new Philippine campaign slogan?
Ted Te in his Facebook Note says
@atheista knows it too well. “The Pinoys who travel a lot and know how to have fun are the ones who will have sell the idea of #ItsMoreFunInThePhilippines :)”
Not many may like the slogan. Others think it is a copycat or have too much words. Marck Rimorin explains that there is more to a slogan:
Some are skeptical because of our poor infrastructure and safety problems. @all_eskat puts it in perspective in Philippines 101 – Origin of Myth”
@JoelErestain shows his support “I want this to work. Theres more to it than just a slogan. Have faith @MonJQuotes and @DOTPhilippines have programs to make PHILIPPINES FUN!”
Even @Abi_valte calls for support “Claim it. Support it. WE are the ones that can make it happen! #ItsMoreFunInThePhilippines”.
A few tweeps were disappointed that it was not original , and that we copied it from a Switzerland ad. But as @HecklerForever puts it ” It’s more fun in Switzerland 61 years ago. Today, #itsmorefuninthePhilippines”
DOT Secretary Jimenez admitted he was a “a little sad” that there are people trying to ruin the new campaign but he quickly noted that he was not really surprised about it.
What about you? How can you make the new Philippine slogan work?
How can one be involved?
To Join in the Campaign, just tweet about things that are more FUN in the Philippines and tag it with #ItsMoreFunInThePhilippines #1ForFun
Be part of the solution. It is up to Filipinos themselves to defend and make the campaign true.
