New tourism slogan: 'It's more fun in the Philippines!'

[boom_box]

if "Philippines, i LIKE!" pa lang unta, very good unta ako i-rate.
Hay nako, magsakit nalang ako dugghan kada deduct sa taxes. >.<

Uhmm.. High five!



Borat says "I LIKE"

With a couple million pesos at their disposal, I'd assume they can afford to hire a research team before they made a presentation. For something as big as this, there is no room for coincidence. When visiting places, I personally don't like to just have more fun, I'd like to be Wowed!

How old were you people when the swiss ad was published? Even those who even thought of the idea probably were not yet born or were in their toddler years.

So you do the math.

so what if its old? millions were wasted for a piece of crap slogan that isn't ORIGINAL

[æRLO]

From what i can deduce, I don't think any feasibility studies were done, nor other related research.

i wonder wy filipinos insult their own creation, typical crab mentality, im glad im not one of u, nways, il leave to god the filling up of human deficiencies

When you are tasked to come up with something original (let's say draw an original building layout) and you have several thousands or possibly millions of pesos to do what you are tasked to do and what you to is photocopy another person's building plan and say it's an original that you made is NOT crab mentality.

naa na google karon nga maka tabang sa research
basin sala sa previous admin nga wala sila kahibaw nga naa na diay naka una

LOL. Have you tried googling "It's more fun"?

"It's more fun" is a statement. The Swiss change their slogan because they can't back it up. So we might as well do our part to make it ours and this time mean it.

Nobody has monopoly over the use of the statement. We just have the edge of making it true.

What is original? LOL. Why do you think the slogan is crap? Just because it was used by the Swiss, aw c'mon. You can do better than that.

It how one use it that makes the difference.

Ngano bro, patented na diay ang "I Like" nga phrase sa facebook, huh? Magbayad tag royalty? Your comment, i LIKE! Com'on, notify facebook that i used the phrase i LIKE!...and do you think the FIlipino netizens will sleep on this lame slogan unless they can prove to the most of us that what they came up was NOT very lame? Yeah, its more fun in the Philippines!

Patent Office Agrees To Facebook's "Face" Trademark | TechCrunch

we never know bro. they've asked to patent the word face and book. what will hold them to claim rights on the word like?

okay, granting facebook will leave us alone, what about the criticisms from people who are good at looking for holes. if you frown upon a slogan used 60 years ago and call it a copycat i see no reason for you to be happy with 'i like' at this very moment. that's very illogical, isn't it.

anyway, here is an interesting article:

I can’t really blame them for their unwavering loyalty to the WOW brand. It appeals to us Pinoys. We use it for things we luv!

But they don’t know that we don’t use it in Japan – our third largest market, because they don’t understand the word WOW and there is no direct equivalent of the word in their language. They don’t know that even in the US – our number one market (and where they fully understand the word WOW but maybe not appreciate it as we do), we dropped it and used another slogan because there was no traction. And they don’t know that in the last few years that we have been using the brand, we have steadily lost market share to the point where Vietnam has overtaken us in terms of tourist arrivals.

The Swiss are not complaining about the slogan.
The United States don't care either, they just gave a statement discouraging their citizens to come here.
The rest of the world don't know that the slogan was used by the Swiss or just don't care .

So who are complaining about the new slogan?

The tourists? NO.
The Swiss? NO.

Filipinos who have nothing left to do but look for loopholes in everything.YES
