  12. In the era of Internet, blog writing is a very appropriate way to support the travel industry. Other provinces in the Philippines should emulate South Cotabato's approach to tourism promotion.

  14. I have never been to festivals. Growing up I didn't pay attention to festivals till I was in college. I want to experience how festivals are celebrated and to experience the rich culture we have. I don't have a province so it's something I want to experience.

    Good luck to those who are joining! :)
