There are many reasons why we should make the Philippines tourism-friendly. However, there are also limits brought by certain policy.
Recently, a netizen named Chris Cahilig expressed his disappointments on Facebook and made a video about it. It is with regards to a policy in Luneta Park, a well-known tourist attraction.
He was supposed to shoot a music video with a boy band named 1:43 in Luneta Park. However, the guards interrupted the shoot and asked if they have a permit. According to the staff, it is a policy that the people, especially tourists, who photograph or make a video should “coordinate” with the office.
