THE Department of Tourism has designated comedy actor and television host Willie Revillame as the country's "Celebrity Envoy for Tourism" for its Grand Pinoy Homecoming tour program.
I am going to get soooo much flack from this but here goes:
It seems the qualifications for becoming an Envoy for Tourism is to be:
- Constantly get penalized for being too vulgar on television
- Be accused at least two times of sexual harrasment
- Rumored to be banned from a foreign institution for being too rude and abrasive (the operative word here is RUMORED)
- Appear to have difficulty in communicating in another language
- Help poor Filipino people by giving them a chance to win tons of cash in a game show (of course, this isn't even his money). Although, I do assume he donates to charity. Right?
Oh well, as a Celebrity Envoy for Tourism, he's going to be a real role model for our country. I guess he's the most qualified. Wouldn't it be grand if we could at least see the shortlist? I wonder who he was up against? Ummmm... any guesses?
