    and the funny thing is, this will not necessarily generate more tourists

    the grand canyon did not make it but more people will still go there

    it is not just about the "wonder"

    it is also the infrastructure (airports, roads, hotel, security, etc etc) that are all needed to attract visitors

    Smart and MVP really made the difference. Ginamitan din ng hakot system. Pati buong public schools were made to vote...

    hmmm, let me rephrase

    kudos to the PPURur for making it to the list

    hopefully, it will make it to the final list next year. we hope that it will make it to the final list

    but should it do so, unless we improve our infrastructure, it will not mean more tourists/visitors

    it will just simply be a hallow victory

    Pasok na siya na Final 7 although next year pa announcement kung ano ang ranking per natural wonder AFAIK.

    NAIA should really be improved to at least remove the bad image of the airport for tourist. But tourism itself in PPUR is increasing yearly.

    the best thing that PP can do is to build a world class international airport and hopefully bypass NAIA through direct and/or charter flights

    this did wonders for cebu tourism in the 80s and cebu was marketed as an "island in the pacific" without any reference to manila or the philippines

    then the victory will not be so hollow (this is what i meant) or shallow
