“It’s More Fun in the Philippines”is the slogan of a tourism campaign launched by the DOT (Department of Tourism)in January 2012 to attract more tourists 
to the Philippines.
Two years ago the colorful logo launched by the DOT was similar to the campaign in Poland.

On that day, the hashtag “ItsMoreFunInThePhilippines”became a globally trending topic on Twitter and similar conversations began to surge on the social networking site Facebook, where dozens of fan pages were launched in dedication to the slogan.
