TWO FACES OF BORACAY: NATURE and BUSINESS
THE BORACAY THAT
WE USED TO KNOW
(Nature and More Modernity)
WITH TIPS for Tourists
No doubt, Boracay is one of the top tourist destinations
in the Philippines. With its long white beach and strings of leisure hotels, travelers love to spend their vacation because they wanted to enjoy the best of both worlds. The picturesque places of Boracay indeed are worth a thousand words.
However, there's always an endless debate if the modernization of the island did harm than good. If compared to decades ago, the Boracay that few knew esp the locals, is a virgin island where the only shelter you'll see is a kubo surrounded by tropical forests. Then massive development began due to influx of tourists thanks to a 70s Hollywood film. International hotels (some with gold courses), stores and brands sprouted like mushrooms, changing the island's landscape. (See videos below)
TIPS for VISITORS IN BORACAY:
1. Travel light (there are lots of stores in Boracay)
2. Bring enough cash but be wary of the prices (Before you buy, check if you are buying or paying an overpriced food, goods, souvenirs or services like tattoos or massage.
4. Observe safety when swimming. Use a floating device if you must. Always check the head counts if you are a group.
5. If you have a drone, check out for places that are ok for flying one. Most of the places in Boracay have a strict ordinance on drone use as crashes can hit tourists.
6. Don't drink too much and get crazy during a party. Just enjoy! Check your phone always. It could slip through and lost in the sand.
7. No lovemaking on the beach (It's illegal).
8. Be aware of people forcing visitors to join their dinner seminars in the guise of free good, fast profitable returns or a famous star (their endorser) Usually, you can't get out easily once you ate the free food and they will force you to invest spot on. Just say No! to them and the free food.
9. Keep your phones and laptops safe always. Some hostels have reports of burglars and thievery. Report your missing items by filing a blotter report at the island police station.

DOT Slogan through the Years
(HATE and LOVE RELATIONSHIP)
Remember when The Department of Tourism (DOT) unveiled its tourism campaign slogan "LOVE THE PHILIPPINES?" Well, it caused some controversy among Filipinos but the DOT was fast to counter that - by creating a campaign video and posters on how they can use wordplay on the slogan to capture attention.

However, the video was also met with a massive backlash when a netizen pointed out that some clips were taken from a stock website and worse, one video doesn't represent the Philippines at all but another country.
The I LOVE THE PHILIPPINES replaced the 11-year-old slogan "MORE FUN IN THE PHILIPPINES", a word play on tourism that was also controversial when it was also launched. It caused rants social media platforms, a hate-love relationship among netizens who initially were against it but eventually came to love the idea.
For you, what's the best slogan among the slogans you've seen and liked?
