Summer is just around the corner. And the best way to beat the heat is to take a shower. Why not take a natural shower under the majestic waterfalls of Tinuy-An? It claimed to be the widest waterfalls in the Philippines with a width of 95 meters.
Tinuy-An Falls can be found in Brgy. Burboanan, Bislig, Surigao del Sur, Mindanao, Philippines.

Have you watched the movie Avatar? Well, here in the Philippines, they dance on the streets. And they’re humans. Check out this photo.
Well, they look like the characters in Avatar the movie but they’re really dancers in the Panagbenga Festival of Baguio City. The Panagbenga Flower Festival of Baguio happens every February of the year. It’s more fun in the Philippines!
Are you fond of roadtrips? How about a roadtrip to Diura Fishing Village just like these Ivatans?

Starting this 2012, Tripadora.com shall be posting photos showing why “It’s more fun in the Philippines.” This is in support of the campaign of the Department of Tourism.
But as DOT sec. Ramon Jimenez puts it, “This is not my campaign, it’s not my slogan, it’s OURS.”
“It’s the Filipino people that make the difference. The Philippines is not just about pristine beaches. Tayo ang unique! The people are the differentiating factor,” said Jimenez.
A new leaf has turned for Philippine tourism. The Department of Tourism revealed the most awaited campaign for the Philippines.
“Finally the Philippines has a simple truthful answer to what has always been a simple question,Why should I go to the Philippines?” said DOT secretary Mon Jimenez.
“When you are asked, why the Philippines? Because, it’s more fun in the Philippines,” said Jimenez. The secretary then showed the new logo to the media.
Jimenez furthered that the new tourism campaign will be more competitive. It’s a campaign designed for the people.
“We have to challenge for attention. Tapos na po ang adjective campaigns [We're done with the adjective campaigns],” said Jimenez referring to campaigns that use adjectives such as amazing and incredible.
“It’s the Filipino people that make all the difference. The people are the differentiating factor. The Philippines is not just about beautiful sights. Tayo ang unique,” added Jimenez.
The tourism secretary also announced that starting 2012, there will be no 21-day visa restriction.
?”Starting this 2012, no more 21-day visas. If our competition offers 30-day visas, that’s what we’ll offer. We’ll give visa on arrival,” said Jimenez.
The Department of Tourism also disclosed the new website of Philippine tourism: http://www.itsmorefuninthephilippines.com/
