Tourism PH’s "Meet the SEAblings" post for ASEAN 2026 promotion feels like our description was underwhelming compared to our neighbors SEAblings
Tourism Philippines (@tourismphilippines) recently posted a slide deck titled "Meet the SEAblings" to promote our hosting of the ASEAN Summit.
The slides introduce each ASEAN nation with iconic titles or global claims.
However, as the host country saved for the very last slide, the Philippines was described as:
"The Philippines is the Pearl of the Orient. We are known for having the world's longest Christmas season."
I love our Christmas traditions, but reading through all the slides expecting a strong grand finale for the host nation, ending on "longest Christmas season" felt a bit anticlimactic for an official tourism/ASEAN post.
Huli pa nila nilagay ang pilipinas, ako naman binasa lahat para exciting tapos ganon? yun na yun? Wala na bang ibang nakakaproud sa Pinas?
