You Need to Vote!

After the announcement of The New Seven Wonders of the World last year, another campaign is going on: The New Seven Wonders of Nature. The campaign is aimed to create awareness and spread the importance of caring for mother nature. Yeah, go green! People are asked to nominate a nature site and convince people to vote for it to become a wonder of nature.

If you think the Philippines has an entry in this campaign you're wrong. Kidding! It has four!!! Well, four that I know of, actually. There could be more. And they are doing pretty well on the site's live ranking. Bravo Filipinos around the globe!

So what's the deal with this campaign? Well, by the end of the year, the site would be narrowing down the nominations to a short list of finalists. Note that there could only be one entry per country so three of the four nominees would say bye bye to their bid for the title. And from there, the final stretch of voting will begin. Soon they will be announcing the New Seven Wonders of Nature.

Oh yeah , I forgot to tell you which nature site from the Philippines were included. The highest ranking of them all (as of Aug. 30) is Mayon Volcano ranked 8th overall. Next in line is the Puerto Princessa Subterranean River ranked 12th. The other two Philippine entries are the Chocolate Hills (15th) and Tubbataha reef (17th). Funny thing is I've never been to any of these nature sites. The one I'd like to visit most is the underground river in Palawan. Nature lover ako eh. It has been said a lot of times that Palawan is the Philippine's last frontier so before I die, I would like to see it for myself. Sure it looks really nice on photos but I want my own eyes to see the wonder that is Palawan.

Although to tell youthe truth, I don't like Palawan to be the Philippines' entry. Becuse when it happens, I am sure that people around the world would want to go for themselves too. And I don't want it messed up by foreigners! I want it to remain as virgin as possible. Bohol's Chocolate Hills should be the Philippines' entry since it is an established tourist attraction anyway. So go Choco Hills!!! Support this Philippine natural sites now. Click on the Image below to vote.
