The Philippine Department of Tourism (DOT) has graciously extended the deadline for its prestigious ‘Tourism Awards’ to July 31, allowing more time for the nation’s most innovative projects to vie for top honors.

Leading the pack so far is the Benguet Rice Terraces poster at NAIA, a masterpiece that has successfully diverted travelers’ attention from delayed flights.

Hot on its heels is the MRT’s Waterless Water Slide, a daring installation that has commuters thrilling in the heat of Manila’s summer.

Not to be outdone, Quezon City’s Stairway to Heaven footbridge in Kamuning is mesmerizing pedestrians with its never-ending climb, promising unparalleled cardio workouts.

DOT officials are optimistic that these groundbreaking attractions will set new standards in tourism, providing unforgettable experiences for locals and tourists alike. “We encourage everyone to submit their entries and be part of this revolutionary celebration of Filipino ingenuity,” said a DOT spokesperson, tongue firmly in cheek.
