    3. Oh di ba imbes na good publicity at nahikayat ang mga foreigners na pumunta sa Pilipinas eh once again naging laughing stock na naman ang bansa natin. Sayang pasahod sa mga shunga na ito. Napaka incompetent that it was even approved to be posted and aired.

    5. Fail na nga ang slogan, fail pa ang ad agency. Mahiya naman si Frasco! Ibalik na kasi yung "its more fun in the Philippines" otherwise she cannot redeem herself.

    7. Baby M said before that he wanted to reintroduce the country.

      Kaya yan, no need na sa taxpayers' funded foreign trips. Free news coverage worldwide na sa kapalpakan ng DDB and DOT.

      Mabuhay, Pweeleepweens!

    1. Ahahaha! Just reflects naong klase leaders and officials merin pinas

    2. ano naman ang kinalaman ng leaders and officials ng Pinas sa kapalpakan ng Ad Agency? DOT hired the agency to do the ad. I don't think they instructed the agency to use other countries' stock videos... Bakit naman nila gagawin yun e ang daming magagandang lugar dito sa Pinas na pwedeng gamitin... maipasok lang ang hate sa mga leaders and officials e.

    3. @ 11:37 - well the Ad Agency DDB already took responsibility and apologized. and the DOT already terminated the contract with them. so ano pa nga ba ang pwede nilang gawin? DDB has won many awards locally and Internationally. But because of this fiasco, dahil sa kapalpakan nila, sira na ang reputation nila. i think dapat may makasuhan, at pagbayarin sa kahihiyan na dinala nila sa Pilipinas.

    4. Sino nag-review at nag-approve? Alangan naman kusang nilabas ng DDB yan?

      Yan tayo eh, yung gumawa lang ang may kasalanan. Pero kung mga amo na tiga-review na yun na nga lang ang aggawin nila, walang accountability. Kung sa Japan o Korea yan, nag-resign na yung pinuno sa kahihiyan. Sa atin, semento ata ang gamit na funda at napakakapal ng mukha .

    5. 6:44 Do you know the meaning of due diligence?

      Delete
    6. @6:48 They should be sued. Fraud? Sakop ba to na plagiarism? Copyright? Intellectual theft? O kung ano pa. Lagi na lang sorry.

      Delete
    7. 6:44 - kahit sinong ad agency ilagay mo dyan, DOT ang may final say if approved ang video or not. The fact na tinanggap ng DOT at na-launch yan speaks volume. Isip isip.

      Delete
    8. 9:59. tumpak. same lang yan sa ad nang Balenciaga. DOT also have a say on this. they should have done their due diligence (because that's their job). ginagawa lang nilang scapegoat for their incompetence ang DDB.

  14. You should have reviewed it prior sa launch. Pano nakaligtas yun sa mga mata nyo. There's also negligence sa part ng DOT. Nagpakampante kayo sa clause with out having QA sa part nyo. Thank you madam at nakmows tayo sa ibang bansa sa nakakahiyang paraan.

  15. Ang irony, bakit kayo galit na galit sa gobyernong ibinoto nyo? :) :) :) You deserve all the good and the bad things this government will give you dahil ikaw mismo ang nag bigay ng power sa kanila :D :D :D

    1. I heard a live interview with her sa Radio, a day after nung papuri sa kanya after the slogan launch. Jusko ang mga sagot parang kinabisado at praktisadong Miss Universe template. Kahit yung mga radio host na impromptu, conversational Tagalog sasagutin nya ng Beauty of the Philippines, Exciting Cultures and Experiences, Amazing World Peace English!!!

  18. Yuck DDB Philippines!

    Punta lang kayo sa pinakamalapit na beach o. May white beaches naman sa Puerto Galera. Ang daling magpicture-picture.
    Why use stock photos? You brought so much humiliation to the country.

  19. Eto namang DBB, nagkaroon na ng opportunity para i-showcase ang capabilities nila as advertiser, bakit di pa nila inayos. Kabuhayan nila yan. Dapat bukod sa husay, bigyan nila ng integridad ang gawa nila. Naiinis talaga ako dun sa tinitipid ang trabaho para lang maka-kickback. In the end, sila rin ang nawalan.

  20. The DOT should have screened it first. Or baka naman they did, pero di nila na recognize na other countries na ang pinapalabas.

    1. Madaling mag-google. Madaling mag-utos para mag-google. Kung yun lang ang kailangan nilang gawin at pumalpak pa, good luck naman sa mga trabaho na mas masinsin at mas kumplikado.

  25. Ad agency ba talaga me kasalanan?

    ReplyDelete
  26. Actually hindi dapat sa agency lang mapunta ang blame. In any advertising naman, ina-approve and review muna yan ng client. So sino ba si client, ‘di ba yung Dept. of Tourism? Sila ang ultimate accountable jan kasi sila ang nag approve

  27. Dapat alisan ng business permit ang DBB. It brought so much shame to us...

  29. Marami nang nasabi, but if you have never worked in advertising, please know that nothing airs or gets posted without client clearance. And that client is DOT. It is also true that mood videos are made for the consumption of the stake holders ONLY. Ginagamit ang mood videos sa pitch only and it is common practice to use stock videos kasi may time constraints ang paghahanda ng pitch materials. Ngayon dahil DDB ang awarded agency, at say for example e mood video nila talaga yang inupload, again, who signed off on that? Client pa din. People will be quick to blame DDB kasi sila ang agency, but if the whole process of coming up with the campaign were broken down, every step of the way, there will always be client intervention and approval before anything proceeds. Dapat kasama sa news reporting maginterview ng taga ahensya para malaman ng lahat kung paano nag-aarrive sa launch ng campaign. Madali kasing magbintang sa konting impormasyon.
