HISTORY OF LODGING INDUSTRY IN THE PHILIPPINES FROM 1800’S UP TO PRESENT TIMES
Being a student from Manila, I came from different schools in University Belt, I’m a little bit curious and interested about how the lodging industry in the Philippines were full grown up to now. Even if I seldom experienced entering hotels, inns, and motels, it sounds interesting to me as it was been one of my course now. As I’m studying in Manila, I started making WH-questions related to this so-called “lodging industry”, for example; when these lodging industries did started here; where was the first and foremost hotel that was built here; how does the Filipino give importance to the old establishments. In Sampaloc, Manila, this University Belt district, where most of the universities in Manila are located and also, it's where the Dangwa Flower Market lies. It is also the student dorm central of the Philippines where most Filipinos nationwide claim temporary board and lodging - in the myriad of apartment houses and ever rising condo-dorms (some as high as forty plus stories) lining a warren of narrow streets - while enrolled in the more than a dozen universities, colleges, and review centers within it, along with service shops such as bookstores, copier & printing (including fake diplomas, identification cards, and certification papers a white collar jobseeker needs) shops, thesis and reports mills, and computer rental shops, as well as entertainment joints catering to a student such as internet and video games, bootleg DVD & software shops, billiard halls, and student-budget sex and related vices safe houses.
The next one is the Old and New Santa Mesa where I’ve observed that this working class district is not so holy anymore as it hosts most of the city's short time love hotels and motels; and somehow marks the first shot of the Filipino-American War. As I was walking in Rizal Park, every Saturday night when my friends and I will chill at the moment, I passed by Ermita. Around

    Jerome Paul Witkin

    • 437 Words

    The work of art that I chose is Jeff Davies, an oil painting painted in 1976 by Jerome Paul Witkin. It depicts a man, presumably named Jeff Davies, standing and taking up the entire frame of the picture. He is wearing a plain tee shirt which is stretched over and exposing a bit of his protruding stomach, a pair of worn jeans, a huge down coat, and a hat. He stands in a plain, dirty-looking room. At the very bottom of the painting is the edge of a table and a mostly empty plate. Everything about Jeff Davies says manliness: his burly stature, his graying beard, his dirty work clothes. His hands are stuffed in his pockets, he's frowning, he's rolling one eye and the other is squeezed shut. The way that he stands in front of his plate with no chair in sight makes me think that this man doesn't sit down or stay still for long. And yet, the flaws of Jeff Davies that are depicted make the picture seem completely authentic, holding nothing back from the viewers. However, this painting was painted by Jerome Paul Witkin, he is New York painter, born in 1939. Since he was born around the time of the Great Depression, it makes sense that Witkin's work should reflect social realism, depicting a working class man as its subject. Witkin "believes that moral values are as important as formal or aesthetic ones." So maybe it wasn't so far-fetched of me to think of Jeff Davies as an honest man and the hero of the painting, instead of just its subject.…

    a) One of the trends that are occurring in the hotel industry is the increase in construction in certain pipelines and areas. The Spanish influenced countries of Latin America and South America are seeing the largest increase. The increased interest in the Hispanic culture by society is driving many consumers to want to escape to the sandy beaches and the tropical oasis. The other trend is the decrease in the African and the Middle Eastern Pipelines. Much of this can be contributed to the political unrest in these countries that is covered by the media. While many still want to go on vacations to their holy lands for religious purposes or visit many ancient areas of art and documented history not many consumers are wanted to travel with young children to these areas due to the unrest and military presence and rather are looking for rest and relaxation rather than additional intellect and experience.…

    The room capacity of the hotel is just right for Triumph Tours’ requirements during the peak months. “My travel business can provide annual capacity utilization of the hotel to as much as 40% only,” Oscar Mendoza told his Marketing Manager, Ernesto de los Santos. “How do we fill up the remaining 60%? Before Cory became President, I read in the daily newspapers that most of these five-star hotels in Metro Manila were underutilized? What led to this situation?

    This paper proposes that the development of the tourism accommodation sector in Vietnam, since the inauguration of the open door policy within the reform programme of doi moi, can be divided into five periods.
