It's More Fun in the Philippines (2012 to mid-2017)
In January 2012, the DOT Twitter account posted "The Philippines is #1ForFun,
right? Watch out [sic] for the campaign tomorrow!" This created online buzz and to
everyone's surprise, it wasn't really the official slogan; the new hashtag
#ItsMoreFunInThePhilippines then immediately trended online. The tag line was also
lauded for its flexibility, allowing anyone to use it in memes and on official DOT
billboards: "Staring contests. More fun in the Philippines," which showed a wide-eyed
tarsier; "Getting upstairs. More fun in the Philippines," which showed the famous rice
terraces of the Cordilleras, and so on. This campaign under former Sec. Mon Jimenez
contributed to the consistent increase of tourist arrivals from 2012 to 2015. BBDO
Guerrero was the advertising agency behind this campaign.
