LOVE OUR OWN.

A retired history professor from Cebu who is now living in Manila said he has observed that more foreign places are featured in local newspapers than local areas. He said: “Let’s get to know about our local places too ... There are many places in our country that need to be introduced to fellow countrymen who have not been there.”

FREE TRIPS. The same retired professor cited some places that need “introduction” to our countrymen. Among them: Tablas, Romblon, Guimaras, Red Beach (Leyte), the little islands around Mactan, Batanes, etc. He called on travel agents and airlines to sponsor free media trips to these places.
