The instructions on the coin deposit machine’s screen are easy enough to understand. I was so excited as the machine slowly devoured my coins; I always get this way whenever interacting with new technology. Somehow I had some foreign coins mixed into my tub of change, so the machine spitted these out. Ang galing, di ba? #SomethingLikeLife #BangkoSentral #CoDMproject #Relationships

BORACAY Island, Cebu, Siargao, Hong Kong, Japan, and Taipei were the most popular destinations last #HolyWeek for most of the country’s major carriers. They’ve had to increase flight frequencies on some routes due to the strong passenger demand. #PAL #CebuPacific #AirAsia #aviation #travel #tourism #Philippines

Toots (Ople) was the ideal Cabinet Secretary. She had the right credentials and a proven track record, and heading the DMV was just a continuation of her life of service to fellow Filipinos. She didn’t implement projects to pump up her own ego, and wasn’t one to impress others with her brilliance with a selfish plan to run for higher office. She was calm and uncomplaining even when another Cabinet Secretary stole her idea for a project. #RIPToots #Philippines #service

Senator Nancy Binay: The Department of Tourism should also be more discerning and critical on pegs, concepts, storyboards, and drafts that ad agencies present to them. There were lapses, too, on the part of the client.” #travel #tourism #newtourismslogan #Philippines
