MANILA — The Department of Tourism (DOT) on Wednesday, May 24 said that its new tourism slogan –which will focus more on showcasing the country as a “treasure trove” of culture and history — is still under development.

The campaign will succeed the current “It’s More Fun in the Philippines” slogan, which was launched back in 2012.

MANILA — Should Filipinos abroad embrace the concept of internet voting in the 2025 midterm polls, the Commission on Elections (Comelec) said it might discontinue the use of mail-in and in-person casting of ballots for overseas absentee voting (OAV).

Comelec Chairman George Erwin Garcia on Wednesday, May 24 said they would assess and decide on the implications of introducing internet voting in 2025 for the OAV.

“If after the 2025 elections we see that more Filipinos abroad patronized internet voting… maybe we could do away with the two modes,” said Garcia, referring to postal and in-person voting.

He said one consideration for such a move is that maintaining a third mode of voting for Filipinos abroad would be more expensive.
