It's that time of the year again as the travel aficionados of the country converge in this exciting and all-out travel bargain exposition brought to us by Department of Tourism and Philippine Travel Agencies Association - the 2014 PTAA Travel Tour Expo.

Composed of about a hundred of booth offering both local and international destinations packaged with amazing tours and really affordable travel fare, this year's PTAA Travel Tour Expo is not just about sharing the fun that our country has to offer but also the goodness that we can see in other place. One of them is the relaxing and home to many Filipinos, Guam.

The 20th Travel Tour Expo 2013

Since I had the chance to experience this expo, I made sure that I every year, even though I'm not planning to book on anything, I'm there to see the hottest and coolest promos on travelling. And this year is no exception, definitely, because with The 20th Travel Tour Expo 2013, it's more fun in the Philippines!

This coming weekend, from February 15 to 17, 2013, Travel Tour Expo  will be celebrating its 20th year of showcasing the widest array of tour products at the SMX Convention Center Halls 1, 2, 3 & 4, and Function Room 5 in Pasay City.

Dubbed as Gateway to Getaways, this 3-day event promises an even grander showcase of booths featuring the cream of the crop in Philippine travel and tourism, with an overwhelming number of exhibitors this year, thus, the venue is much more bigger and wider!

From the exhibitor presentations, fun games, and prizes upon prizes, visitors of this most awaited travel expo will also have a chance to this year’s special activities including the launch of the first PTAA TravelTour Expo Gateway to Getaways Coupon Book. A compilation of all discounts and freebies, PTAA TravelTour Expo Gateway to Getaways Coupon Book that visitors could get from the participating exhibitors, plus two (2) complimentary entrance tickets to the event. 

Celebrate Independence with Pinoy Ingenuity

Tomorrow, the country will be celebrating its 114th Independence Day. And in line with this celebration, series of festivities will be happening all over the country starting from the flag raising ceremony in different government and private companies to commemorate this important event in our lives, to all-day partying that will highlight the greatness of our national heroes who sacrificed their lives for our freedom.

Here in Makati City, where I usually spent most of my time, the celebration already started last Friday with their Make It Happen, Make It Makati celebration. There had a been series of shows that showcased Pinoy ingenuity - from variety shows to arts and crafts that I find really fascinating.

One of the many arts and crafts exhibits that really mesmerized me was the "banig" exhibit that is on display in Ayala Triangle Gardens. "Banig" or hand women mat has been a symbol of Filipinos craftsmanship, and in the latest Department of Tourism's campaign "It's More Fun in The Philippines","banig" is used as a logo - a really clever one, I believe.

It's More Fun in the Philippines, so Let's Rammmpa!

It's simple but straight to the point. It's easy to understand, even kids as young as 2 years old can understand it and it's catchy, kinda addicting actually. That's why I have this blog to share some of my greatest pictures that will showcase the undeniable beauty of Filipinos and the Philippines.

But first, catch me first flying! Hehe.

Here are some of my nicest photos that I captured before. Enjoy!

18th Travel Tour Expo 2011

Dubbed as Around the World in Three Days, this 18th Travel Tour Expo 2011 was brought to us by Philippine Travel Agencies Association (PTAA) in cooperation with a dozen of travel agencies, airlines, cruise lines, international and local tour operators, hotels, resorts, some government agencies and travel shops last February 18 to 20 at SM Mall of Asia - SMX.

It was first time to attend such exhibit of wonderful offers and I'm honestly saying that if it happened that I have a lot of money (or my credit card can afford it) that day, I think I booked like five trips that day. Hahaha. But since I'm already booked for a Bacolod-Iloilo-Gumaiaras trip on the second half of the year, I only went to this expo for the mere experience and to get some free infos about those three places that I'm about to discover.

The entrance fee is Php50.00, I think its the same as last year.
