Tourism is more than just travel; it is a cycle of endless discovery and a mind filled with curiosity.

On this day, we recognize one of the greatest economic engines of the world, through innovation, preservation of cultural heritage, environmental protection, and uplifting local and indigenous communities.

As we commemorate World Tourism Day 2025, we bring to life tales that showcase the splendor and potential of every part of the globe.

However, let's also be reminded to travel sensibly, support sustainability, and embrace culture for future generations to witness.

Kung ako ang tatanungin, ginusto ko ang maging nars, doktor, titser, o kung ano man ang mga propesyon na naririnig ko lamang.

Ginusto ko lahat dahil sabi nila, libre lang naman daw mangarapโ€”๐—บ๐—ฎ๐˜† ๐—ฝ๐—ฎ๐—ธ๐—ฝ๐—ฎ๐—ธ ๐—ธ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—ด๐—ฑ๐—ฎ๐—ฑ๐—ฎ๐—น๐—ฎ ๐˜€๐—ฎ ๐—ถ๐˜†๐—ผ. Lumipad ka lang at maaabot mo rin ang mga ito. Ibuka mo lang ang iyong mga pakpak at lahat ng mga lugar na nais mong puntahan ay mararating mo; maaabot mo ang mga bituin sa langit. Kaya ito ang aking ginawaโ€”pinilit kong palakihin ang buka ng aking pakpak. Sa murang edad, ang maliit na pakpak na meron ako ay pinilit kong iwinagayway patungo sa mga lugar na nais kong puntahan at sa mga lugar na kailangan.

Ngunit walang nagturo kung paano ka dadalhin ng mga ito kung dumating ang puntong hindi ka na nito kayang dalhin paitaas.

Paano ka makalilipad nang mataas kung hindi mo alam ang hangganan ng iyong paglipad at mapagod na ang iyong mga pakpak? Paano ka dadalhin ng mga pakpak mo kung sugatan ang mga ito? Kung nasunog ito sa matinding liwanag ng mga pangarap na pilit mong inaabot? Paano mo dadalhin ang sakit ng pagkakalagapak mo mula sa itaas hanggang sa lupa na pilit mong nilayuan?

Walang nagturo kung paano ka nito dadalhin sa pagbagsak mo. ๐˜ž๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜ฏ๐˜ข๐˜ฌ๐˜ข๐˜ฑ๐˜ข๐˜จ๐˜ด๐˜ข๐˜ฃ๐˜ช ๐˜ฏ๐˜ข ๐˜ช๐˜ฌ๐˜ข๐˜ธ ๐˜ฏ๐˜ข ๐˜ฑ๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ข ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜ฎ๐˜ข๐˜จ๐˜ฅ๐˜ข๐˜ฅ๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ข ๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜ฃ๐˜ช๐˜จ๐˜ข๐˜ต ๐˜ฏ๐˜ช๐˜ต๐˜ฐ.

Kaya naman kung walang hangganan ang taas ng aking paglipad, baka ang lalim ng aking pagbagsak ang magdadala sa akin sa aking mga pangarap. Huhubarin ko na ang aking mga pakpak at ilalagay ang mga ito sa tabi ng mga pangarap na sisimulan kong hukayin.

Dahil kung may natutunan ako sa walang humpay na paglipad, hindi dapat ako nangangarap nang mataas. ๐™ˆ๐™–๐™ฃ๐™œ๐™–๐™ฃ๐™œ๐™–๐™ง๐™–๐™ฅ ๐™–๐™ ๐™ค ๐™ฃ๐™–๐™ฃ๐™œ ๐™ข๐™–๐™ก๐™–๐™ก๐™ž๐™ข.

Hindi pakpak ang aking palalaguin kundi ang mga ugat na magpapatibay ng aking mga pangarap.

Mga ugat ang mananatili sa lupa hindi dahil pumapalpak ka, kundi dahil nandito ang pundasyon ng mataas mong pangarap. Baka kasi hindi mo ito kailangan abutin at habulin dahil ikaw ang dapat gumawa nitoโ€”๐˜ช๐˜ฌ๐˜ข๐˜ธ ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜ฎ๐˜ข๐˜จ๐˜ฑ๐˜ข๐˜ฑ๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ข๐˜จ๐˜ฐ.

At kung mas malalim, mas makikita mo ang mga pangarap mo. Hindi ka parating nakatingin sa itaas, hindi mo ito hinahanap sa mga lugar o tao, at lalong hindi ka masisilaw sa liwanag na dala nito. Bibigyan ka lamang nito ng espasyo para sa mas matibay na pundasyon upang palaguin ang mga pangarap mo.

Wala namang masama sa pag-abot ng mga bituin sa langit. Ngunit sa lupa, mas marami ang mga buhangin na maaari mong magamit.

๐—ฏ๐˜† Lennon Sumilang

Itโ€™s 2025, and yet somehow weโ€™re still stuck on this: a young woman raises her fist at a rally, instead of listening to what sheโ€™s fighting for, people zero in on her armpit. A photo circulates online and the debate shifts not about corruption, not about accountability, but about body hair and the tone of her skin.

Letโ€™s set the record straight. ๐˜ฝ๐™ค๐™™๐™ฎ ๐™๐™–๐™ž๐™ง ๐™ž๐™จ ๐™ฃ๐™ค๐™ง๐™ข๐™–๐™ก. ๐™Ž๐™ ๐™ž๐™ฃ ๐™™๐™ž๐™จ๐™˜๐™ค๐™ก๐™ค๐™ง๐™–๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™ค๐™ฃ ๐™ž๐™จ ๐™ฃ๐™ค๐™ง๐™ข๐™–๐™ก. These are not flaws to be mocked, nor do they determine the worth of a personโ€™s message. What should disturb us more than an unshaven underarm is the unchecked corruption that has long drained our public coffers. Whatโ€™s truly ugly is not on her skin but in the system she protests against.

This reflex to ridicule bodies instead of reckoning with power is not new. From โ€œMaria Claraโ€ expectations that women must always be modest and flawless to online culture where womenโ€™s appearances are policed more harshly than menโ€™s actions, body shaming has become a convenient way to silence dissent. After all, itโ€™s easier to dismiss a woman by mocking her armpit than to confront the truth of what sheโ€™s saying.

We should ask ourselves: why do we pay more attention to the look of a womanโ€™s underarm than to the theft of public funds? Why is body hair treated as scandalous while political scandals barely raise concern?

Body hair is natural. Skin tone is natural. And what must never be normalized is blind loyalty to corrupt leaders. If we are quick to shame bodies, we should be quicker to shame corruption.

Nag-uumapaw ang init ng damdamin habang nagsama-sama ang ibaโ€™t ibang mukha ng lipunan: mga estudyante, manggagawa, artista, propesyonal, at karaniwang mamamayan. Lahat ay nagdala ng plakard, lahat ay may sigaw ng paglaban.

Sa gitna ng mainit na pakikibaka, may isang tinig na umalingawngaw. Tila mababaw, ngunit direktang tumama sa bituka ng bayan:

Marami ang nagbigay-pansin dito sa ๐˜€๐—ผ๐—ฐ๐—ถ๐—ฎ๐—น ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ฑ๐—ถ๐—ฎ, at may ilang natawa. Para sa iba, itoโ€™y tila biro lamang, isang nakakatawang hiling sa gitna ng laban sa korapsyon. Nagkaroon din ng haka-haka, iniisip na baka hindi maayos ang pag-iisip ng nagsasalita. Ngunit kung bukas lamang ang ating pandinig at isip, mauunawaan natin na ang sigaw na iyon ay hindi lang tungkol sa kapos na kinikita nila kundi salamin ng bansang matagal nang piniprito sa sariling kahirapan.

Ang mga pagkaing binanggit ay hindi lamang basta pagkain sa tabing-kalsada. Ito rin ay ang pantawid-gutom ng estudyanteng kulang sa baon, ng manggagawang laging kapos ang sahod, ng pamilyang nagsasalo-salo sa tatlong pirasong kwek-kwek na sinasawsaw sa maanghang na s**a at matamis na sawsawan, lakas ng jeepney driver na kulang ang pasada, at ng tinderoโ€™t tinderang kumakapit sa bawat baryang kinikita.

Kung pagmamasdan natin, ang dating tigpi-pisong fishball para sa dalawang piraso ngayoโ€™y sampung piso na para sa walo. Isang simpleng halimbawa, ngunit nagsisilbing malinaw na mensahe para sa bawat Pilipino: pati ang pinakamurang sandigan ng masa ay unti-unting kinukuha sa kanila.

Hindi nakakapagtaka na ang ๐˜€๐˜๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฒ๐˜ ๐—ณ๐—ผ๐—ผ๐—ฑ ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ฑ๐—ผ๐—ฟ na may malakas na tinig ay hindi lamang makikita na nagtitinda sa tabing-kalsada, nakikita rin sila na lumalaban para sa bawat Pilipino na nagnanais makamit ang simpleng buhay na may dangal. Ang kaniyang patuloy na pakikibaka ay nagsilbing repleksyon kung anong uri ng pamahalaan mayroon tayo ngayon โ€“ isang gobyerno na mala-buwayang nakaupo lamang sa upuan habang pinagmamasdan ang ating bansa na lumubog kasama ang mamamayang Pilipino.

Sa bawat tusok ng fishball, kikiam, o kwek-kwek, sa bawat init sa tokneneng at calamares โ€“ damang-dama ang mainit na hinaing ng sambayanang pinagkakaitan ng karapatang mabuhay nang may dangal.

Kayaโ€™t sa simpleng tinig ng isang street food vendor, na nananawagang ibaba ang presyo ng pagkain sa kanto o streetfoods, nahahayag ang mas malalim na mensahe: ๐™ ๐™ช๐™ฃ๐™œ ๐™–๐™ฃ๐™œ ๐™ฅ๐™–๐™ฃ๐™ฉ๐™–๐™ฌ๐™ž๐™™-๐™œ๐™ช๐™ฉ๐™ค๐™ข ๐™ฃ๐™– ๐™ฃ๐™œ๐™– ๐™ก๐™–๐™ฃ๐™œ ๐™–๐™ฎ ๐™ฃ๐™–๐™œ๐™ž๐™œ๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™œ ๐™ก๐™ช๐™๐™ค, ๐™ฅ๐™–๐™–๐™ฃ๐™ค ๐™ฅ๐™– ๐™–๐™ฃ๐™œ ๐™ฅ๐™–๐™ฃ๐™œ๐™–๐™ง๐™–๐™ฅ ๐™ฃ๐™œ ๐™—๐™–๐™ฎ๐™–๐™ฃ?

On this special day, let us take the time to be with our loved ones, whether we choose to stay at home or go outside to enjoy the day together. ๐—™๐—ฎ๐—บ๐—ถ๐—น๐˜† bonding allows us to communicate, understand one another more deeply, and create lasting memories that will always remain in our hearts.

At the end of the day, what matters most is not where we are but who we are with. A house: no matter how grand or simple, becomes a true home when it is filled with love and the presence of family.

Even a piece of hate, left to linger in someoneโ€™s heart, can destroy and kill a thousand. Why donโ€™t you ask yourselfโ€”ask your heart. What causes this never-ending cruelty?

Miscommunication among nationsโ€”triggering violence causing war in our world. However, war is evitableโ€”with great communication across our nations we can build a productive and progressive society for our people.

A single piece of peace in our hearts can make a difference. Because peace starts within ourselves and expanding this peace can amplify beyond yourselfโ€”but to people. Blocking miscommunication and ambiguity towards the other nations, could lead to a safe and prosperous world.

On this very day, letโ€™s remain steadfast in bravery and commitmentโ€”fostering a peaceful world for the kids and our people. In the midst of these conflicts, letโ€™s remain sturdy and believe in hopeโ€”violence will never satisfy your yearning for dominion.

Let these fragments of peace within our hearts ablazeโ€”to speak up for peace among nations, stop the wars, protect the innocents, believe in hope, and restore those dreams that were obscured.

A single light grants us hope and upholds grandeur for the future. On this day, we celebrate and pray for ceaseless serenity.
