Hopefully, the increase in arrivals would generate jobs for 4.4 million Filipinos. DOT Philippines said the government will also be competitive in getting new tourists through extended visas. Starting this year, no [more] 21-day visas. If competition has 30-day visas that's what they will offer. They'll give visa on arrival starting 2012. They will also encourage everyone to put together very competitive packages. FUN is not just excitement, but prices as well.
