Saturday, May 10, 2008 Budget carrier provides link to ‘7 wonders’ site
BUDGET carrier Cebu Pacific (CEB) is pushing for the inclusion of three Philippine tourist spots in the current online search for “Seven Wonders of Nature.”
CEB has created a link in its website to the Seven Wonders of Nature voting site (www.new7wonders. com) so that Filipinos worldwide can easily cast their votes for the Philippine entries: the Chocolate Hills in Bohol, and the Tubbataha Reef and the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park (Underground Ri-ver), both in Palawan.
Candice Iyog, CEB vice president for marketing and product, said, “this is in support of the government’s efforts to promote our country in the global market. Just by joining this search, we are making the world aware of the natural wonders our country has to offer.”
CEB will also launch an email blast endorsing the Philippine natural wonders to its database.
“As the No. 1 e-commerce website in the country, we hope we can help invite all the Filipinos to go online, vote and make the Philippines part of the New 7 Wonders of the World because this is something we should be very proud of. Let’s all do our part in making this happen,” Iyog said.
As of yesterday’s Live Top 77 ranking at www. new7wonders.com, Tubbataha Reef is on the eighth spot, the Chocolate Hills on the ninth and the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park rests on the 18th place.
“With this search, we hope to entice more foreign and local tourists to come see the Philippines’ natural wonders and contribute to the development of our tourism industry,” Iyog said. (PR)
