Alexie Mae Brooks Boosts Barangay Tourism

Could a beauty queen help transform local tourism? In Iloilo, the provincial government is banking on it. Crowned Miss Eco International Philippines 2025, Alexie Mae Brooks has been appointed as the ambassador for the "Turista sa Barangay" program, aimed at developing barangays into bustling community venues for tourism.  

Launching a New Tourism Initiative

The "Turista sa Barangay" program, announced by Governor Arthur Defensor Jr., is set to launch soon, with Brooks leading the charge. Defensor emphasized the importance of this program, highlighting its goal to turn barangays into hubs of tourism activities and points of care for tourists visiting Iloilo. "Congratulations to Alexie. Very timely that we have an ambassador for tourism. We want to institute Turista sa Barangay, a program to develop the barangay as a community venue for tourism events and activities," Defensor said.   The Role of Barangays in Tourism Barangays, as the smallest administrative divisions in the Philippines, are pivotal in this initiative. The plan involves preparing residents to serve as the front line for tourism, thereby creating livelihood opportunities and fostering community development. Defensor stated, "We engage the beneficiary as the front line. We want Alexie to be the front line here as we sell Iloilo in the new approach for our tourism." This initiative underscores the strategic shift towards community-based tourism, leveraging the unique cultural and natural assets of each barangay to attract visitors and stimulate economic growth.  

Alexie Mae Brooks: From Beauty Queen to Tourism Ambassador

Alexie Mae Brooks, a 22-year-old resident of Leon municipality, has a decorated pageant history. She represented Iloilo City in the Miss Universe Philippines pageant and was crowned Miss Iloilo during the 2024 Dinagyang Festival. Her new role as the "Turista sa Barangay" ambassador aligns her public presence with a cause close to her heart – promoting her home province.   The Cultural Significance of the Dinagyang Festival The Dinagyang Festival, where Brooks earned her Miss Iloilo title, is a cornerstone of Iloilo's cultural identity. Celebrated annually, it honors the Santo Niño (Holy Child Jesus) and commemorates the arrival of Malay settlers and their pact with the indigenous Ati people.   Religious and Cultural Celebrations The festival, originating in 1968, features vibrant street dancing, music, and performances by Ati tribe warriors. It blends religious devotion with cultural heritage, making it a profound expression of Ilonggo faith and identity.   Event Description Religious Significance Celebration honoring the Santo Niño, highlighting the devotion to Sto. Niño de Cebu. Cultural Significance Commemorates the pact between Malay settlers and indigenous Ati people. Major Highlights Ati Tribe Competition, Kasadyahan Festival, Miss Dinagyang pageant.  

Governor Defensor’s Vision

Governor Defensor's vision for "Turista sa Barangay" involves integrating these cultural elements into the tourism strategy, ensuring that visitors experience the rich heritage of Iloilo. Defensor noted, "We are working on the executive order and hope to sign it this weekend."   The Road Ahead for Iloilo’s Tourism The appointment of Alexie Mae Brooks as the "Turista sa Barangay" ambassador marks a significant step towards a more community-centric tourism model. Her influence and popularity are expected to draw attention to Iloilo’s diverse offerings, from its festivals to its local attractions.   A Bright Future for Barangay-Based Tourism With the "Turista sa Barangay" program, Iloilo is set to redefine its tourism landscape, focusing on grassroots involvement and showcasing its cultural richness. As Alexie Mae Brooks takes on her new role, the synergy between her ambassadorial duties and Iloilo’s tourism goals promises to create a lasting impact on the province's economic and cultural development.   Sources: THX News & Philippine News Agency.

Ang Sining ng Pahinga: Mga Pag-aaliw ng mga Pilipino sa Labas

Sa siksikang arkipelago ng Pilipinas, ang pag-aaliw ay nagtataglay ng maraming makulay na anyo, na nagpapakita ng kayamanan ng kultura at tradisyon ng mga Pilipino. Mula sa mapayapang mga beach retreats hanggang sa masiglang kultural na mga pista, nagpamaster ang mga Pilipino ng sining ng pahinga, na nag-aalok ng iba't ibang mga aktibidad na nakakaakit sa mga lokal at bisita.

Isa sa mga kahalintulad na pag-aaliw ng mga Pilipino ay ang pag-explore sa kagandahan ng mga beach at isla ng bansa. Sa higit sa 7,000 isla na pagpipilianan, bawat isa ay nag-aalok ng kani-kanilang natatanging kagandahan, na pumapabor sa mga taong mahilig sa beach.

Kung paglalambing sa puting buhangin ng Boracay, snorkeling sa malinaw na tubig ng Palawan, o surfing sa mga alon ng Siargao, walang kakulangan sa mga mapayapang lugar upang magpahinga at magpakasaya sa araw.

Sa kabila ng mga likas na ganda, ang Pilipinas ay tahanan din ng isang masiglang kultural na scene, na may mga pista na nagdiriwang ng lahat mula sa musika at sayaw hanggang sa pagkain at relihiyosong tradisyon. Isa sa mga pista ay ang Ati-Atihan Festival sa Kalibo, Aklan, na kilala bilang "Ina ng Lahat ng mga Pista sa Pilipinas".

Sa panahong ito ng isang linggong pagdiriwang, ang mga lansangan ay nabubuhay sa makulay na parada, tradisyunal na musika, at nakakabighaning kasuotan habang binibigyang-pugay ang Santo Niño.

Gayundin, ang Sinulog Festival sa Cebu at ang Dinagyang Festival sa Iloilo ay kilala sa kanilang masiglang mga street performance at masayang atmospera, na bumibighani ng mga magsasaya mula sa malalayong lugar.

Para sa mga naghahanap ng mas tahimik na karanasan, nag-aalok ang Pilipinas ng maraming mga pag-aaliw na nagbibigay ng isang sulyap sa kayamanan ng kultura ng bansa. Isa sa mga ito ay ang pagsasarap sa tradisyonal na lutuing Pilipino, na mayroong kasing dami ng mga isla. Mula sa masarap na adobo at sinigang hanggang sa nakakatakam na lechon at halo-halo, ang lutuing Pilipino ay isang nakakatakam na kombinasyon ng mga lasa na nakaapekto sa siglo ng kalakalan at kolonisasyon.

Sa mga nagdaang taon, ang pagtaas ng online entertainment ay naging isang popular na libangan sa mga Pilipino, kung saan marami ang lumilipat sa online casinos para sa isang nakapangingibabaw na karanasan sa palaro.

Isang kilalang platform ay ang 55BMW, na nag-aalok ng malawak na hanay ng mga laro sa casino at kapanapanabik na mga promosyon na pumapabor sa parehong mga baguhan at mga beterano sa sugal. Sa kaginhawahan ng paglalaro mula sa kahit saan na may internet connection, ang mga online casino ay naging isang kaginhawahan at nakakatuwang paraan para sa mga Pilipino upang magpahinga at subukan ang kanilang swerte sa kanilang mga paboritong laro.

Sa buod, ang sining ng pahinga sa Pilipinas ay umaabot sa malayo sa kanyang mabuhangin na mga dalampasigan at masasayang kalsada. Ito ay naglalaman ng isang magkakaibang tapestry ng mga karanasan na nagdiriwang ng likas na kagandahan, kultural na pamana, at modernong mga pagtatangka, ginagawa itong isang tunay na di-malilimutang destinasyon para sa mga naghahanap ng pahinga mula sa buong mundo.

AirAsia Philippines supports tourism surge with the return of PH festivals

*AirAsia Philippines flew more than half a million guests for the first half of January

*AirAsia offers 2024 Blowout with all-month-round discounted one-way base fare of PHP68!

AirAsia Philippines strongly supports the vigorous return to the streets of colorful Philippine festivals such as Sinulog, Ati-atihan, and Dinagyang with discounted fares and an exciting blowout this January!

Festivities are known to captivate local and international travelers to visit different localities in the country. In January 2023, AirAsia Philippines flew a total of 580,000 guests to top destinations such as Cebu, Bohol, and Kalibo. This 2024, AirAsia has already flown 520,000 guests for the first half of January alone and projects a strong demand to also support the Department of Tourism’s (DOT) target of increasing tourist arrivals in the country.

“AirAsia Philippines would like to open 2024 in a positive and festive mood. The Philippines, composed of 82 provinces, offers an array of festivals, which are worth exploring. At AirAsia we know that this is more than just the usual get-together — it’s a celebration of culture! During these important milestones, our guests can always rely on AirAsia’s affordable, reliable, and safe air travel. We would like to be that airline that would make every Filipino festival happen,” shared AirAsia Philippines Spokesperson and First Officer Steve Dailisan.

To entice more guests to visit their favorite Philippine festivals, the World’s Best Low-Cost Airline is offering an all-month-round discounted one-way base fare of PHP68 to PHP98 to all of its domestic destinations! Aside from that, guests who will book their flights via the Superapp or airasia.com, until 12 February 2024 will get a chance to win vacation packages, free flights, hotel vouchers, and airasia points with the AirAsia 2024 Blowout!

Dailisan said these exciting deals along with AirAsia Philippines’ improved on-time performance (OTP) for January 2024 – averaging 93% for the past 7 days will attract more guests to fly with the World’s Leading Low-Cost Airline.

AirAsia Philippines is looking to fly more foreign guests from other ASEAN countries, especially with the scheduled merger of AirAsia X and AirAsia Philippines (and other AirAsia areas of operation). Seen to materialize in the months to come, this move is expected to consolidate all medium and long-haul flights which could create more opportunities for foreign travelers to explore the country as it will connect the Philippines with neighboring destinations.

Book your flights and favorite inflight add-ons including meals, refreshments, hot seats, and baggage options, and stay up to date on the latest travel advisories, guidelines, and deals through the airasia Superapp and AirAsia’s official website (www.airasia.com).
