Tourism taps the power of social media to promote the Philippines

It’s nice to know that the new tourism secretary is tapping the power of social media to boost the country’s tourism campaign.

Tourism Secretary Ramon Jimenez said Facebook and twitter user, and blog owners can help promote the Philippines’ fascinating places and destinations all over the world.

“It helps that Filipinos love to travel. It will be our job to excite people to want to see our country. We have the best, most fascinating places to visit on earth,” he said in a press conference.

Aside from boosting local tourism, the new tourism campaign will help generate income and employment to Filipinos.

Now, if you own an account to any of the social media I’ve mentioned above, wouldn’t you want to be a part of the government tourism campaign and let your friends learn about the beauty of the Philippines?

Facebook, twitter, blogs are so powerful you don’t have to produce birthday party invitations to get friends and relatives to attend an important occasion. A post update is enough to promote your newly established or already flourishing business.

B-L-O-G-G-I-N-G

 

That spells my favorite pastime for the past seven or eight months. Before, I go gaga over S-L-E-E-P-I-N-G. Hubby and kids used to tease me masa as in “masandal tulog”. But now things have changed. I’ve learned how to B-L-O-G and my family began calling me A-D-D-I-C-T. Fine. It’s better to be called a blog addict than never to have blogged at all. May sense ba? LOLz.

Stressed out? Try blogging

I think one way of keeping ones sanity or reason if you are a full time housewife is through journaling. I maintain a Friendster and a Facebook account to keep up with my friends and former co-workers. It somehow eases a stressful day. Blogging, on the other hand, demands a lot of time and thinking. Oh well, I still want to give it a try.

As I (re)post my articles here, I will also share (hopefully on a day-to-day basis) interesting stuff about my home. Bits and pieces, from the trivial to the important events in my life.

I hope to keep up to the demands of my new “home”.

Mommies, let’s blog our way to a stress-free day!
