BBC 2 now Davo City

[Tawi2]

Not only that ... why wasn't there more coverage of Davao City? I mean places like 'The Philippine Eagle and Crocodile Parks, etc., etc. ... instead of just scenes of fruit vendors and such like ...

"This is Davao,its a large "Town"in mindanao,look at this street filled with fruit" then he was off He piggy-backed his way into travel presenting through his chum Ewan McGregor,he isnt comfortable with the job and the show in all honesty could have been a lot better,it was watchable but thats about it

The Wife likes his chaotic mix of basically standing back looking confused means she can just see normal Phills doing normal things to a degree as a reminder of Phill.

But not a great advert for the country, the Phill tourist board need to get some serious advisors who can be made avaiable to the TV crews who turn up.

Most of the other countries seem to get much better showings on these shows. Im guessing in Phill they just let the tv crews get on with it?

[Tawi2]

I sometimes wonder if the Pinoy tourist board even venture beyond mid-visayas because all they ever push is Bora...Bora....Boracay Which to be honest isnt all that,theres some incredible parts of the country the average tourist doesnt get to see,you just have to get off the beaten track for them,on camiguin theres some beautiful parts,what did they choose to show?Some dillies in a net

Yeah I was thinking that normally you get the landscape shot but rarely in Phill.

All the goverment have to do is employ a few photogenic English speaking Phills who have at least some media experience.

If thailand can do it im sure English speaking Phillipines could walk all over them.

Many people watching will have noticed how people speak such good English.

But all they seem to show is fishing, scrap yards or people who recycle rubbish in someway and the odd enviromental good cause.

People still want beautiful scenery, history and culture. When was the last time they showed the beaches the leisure faclities the amazing churches and views

That was unusual in my experience they really had some exceptionally good English speakers on this program!

They are missing out terribly as a country but they need to do a massive general clean-up everywhere as well before the tourist insdustry will really take off.

He'll be bored silly in 5 days

That's like going to Millport for 3 weeks!


Jim

[Tawi2]

When his girlfriend said "Heaven on earth" I did say "Yeah,'Cos its "dead" boring"Its like a lukewarn version of any of the popular Thai islands nowadays,filled with Henna tattooists,eateries,and Korean and Japanese tourists and the Pinoy Nouveau riche who flock there to be seen

have you watched this show before?

they turn up with a video camera in hand to experience what life is really like as they travel around,i like the format.

better than going to 5 star hotels inbetween filming

[Tawi2]

If any of the pinoy tourist board are logged onto this site gimmee half his budget and I will give you an awesome show,I wouldnt even have to fly into the country from Singapore because the border had been closed down

Yeah, i suppose its not really a prestigious travel show where they show the tourists spots and destinations.....
It's more of a ROAD TRIP "cowboy" style where he features and get to feel and experience the authentic rural way of life....
Its quite interesting actually, something new and different, not the usual travel shows i'm accustomed to watch.....
