More than the usual

I’ve been swamped with work this week, due a flu caused by an annoying toothache that left my dentist baffled because said tooth was perfectly healthy.

So instead of writing more about my trip, I’m sharing with you one of my favorite TV commercial: The Philippine’s More than the usual campaign. This was first aired in 2002, during then Department of Tourism Secretary, Richard Gordon. For me, this is one of the best TVC to highlight and promote the Philippines.

Interestingly enough, this was labelled as the “Asia” edition. A slightly different “Europe” version is available for viewing at Youtube.com.

    WOW, I like this commercial. I showed it to my mom & she liked it too; we both think it should be aired here & around the States. They’re always promoting countries like Ireland, UK, & other European nations, but it seems like they shy away from the Asian ones.

    Really? That’s a shame. Maybe it has to do with all the terrorist scare; that Europe is a safer destination than Asia?

    Anyway, there wasn’t a shortage of American travellers in Thailand. Every gap-year-ing teenager is in Khao San Road…
