00:31.3
Like many Filipinos, Singapore yung napili namin
00:45.6
Eh pinakamalapit kasi eh
00:47.2
Wala pang 4 hours by plane
00:48.9
Sakay lang kasing stop ng eras tour dito sa Southeast Asia
00:54.8
Bakit exclusive sa Singapore?
00:57.1
Eh pag-uusapan natin yan in a while
00:59.1
July last year kami bumili ng ticket
01:04.9
May raffle pa para lang makabili
01:06.8
Tapos pang ilang libo ka sa pila
01:10.3
First time kayo yung matry
01:12.1
Pero ayun, finally, nakalusot rin
01:14.7
Fast forward to 2024
01:17.6
We're here sa National Stadium sa Singapore
01:20.7
To watch Taylor Swift
01:23.3
Eh nahatak tayo dito
01:25.4
Naging instant Swifty tayo because of my wife
01:29.1
Pero actually na-amaze tayo rito sa mga nakita natin mga tao rito
01:35.3
Because many of them
01:36.5
Traveled all the way to Singapore to watch Taylor Swift
01:40.3
March 7 yung napili naming date
01:43.4
Eh si Mrs. all dressed up for the concert
01:45.9
Ganun pala yung mga Swifties
01:47.6
Eh syempre may assigned shirt din ako
01:54.7
Ang lakas ng ulan nun
01:56.1
Traffic din papunta sa National Stadium
01:59.0
Kahit 5 minutes lang by car from our hotel
02:01.6
Tapos ang haba ng pila papasok sa entrance
02:04.5
Si Mrs. nakipag-exchange bracelets na sa fellow Swifties
02:08.2
Are you surprised that there are so many people willing to travel to Singapore for this?
02:13.4
But that's because of like
02:16.3
Did you know that Singapore paid an exclusive fee for Singapore?
02:21.9
How do you feel about that?
02:23.6
Others were not too happy
02:27.8
I don't know what to say because I'm self-aware
02:30.6
Nagbayad ang Singapore government
02:34.6
Para dito lang siya mag-concert dito sa region sa Southeast Asia
02:39.0
So ano kayong pakaramdam ng mga Pilipino doon?
02:43.4
Alam natin may isang congressman dyan sa atin
02:45.8
Hindi natutuwa dito sa nangyaring ito
02:49.8
Sabi ng Thai Prime Minister
02:55.6
Nasa 2 to 3 million dollars
02:57.4
Per show raw yung in-offer ng Singapore
02:59.9
Para exclusive sa kanila si Taylor
03:03.7
Sabi naman ni Congressman Joey Salceda
03:07.3
Grabe ang economic activity na na-generate ng concert sa Singapore
03:11.2
Pero at the expense of its neighboring countries
03:15.3
Si Salceda nagsabi nyan ha
03:16.9
The issue actually had to do with Swiftonomics
03:20.2
Yan yung term sa tindi ng economic influence si Taylor Swift
03:24.0
Sa Eros Tour kasi
03:27.4
Hindi lang sa ticket sales ha
03:28.9
Nandun din yung sa mga merch
03:30.6
E tapos yung mga pumunta sa Singapore
03:33.3
Bumili ng plane tickets yan
03:35.0
Pati hotel accommodation
03:36.3
At dahil nandun na sila
03:38.5
Nag-extend na rin ng stay yung iba
03:40.2
To visit tourist spots and landmarks
03:42.5
Para sulit ba yung pag-travel?
03:45.1
Yan yung tinatawag na multiplier effect
03:48.2
Nag-boost lalo sa economy ng Singapore
03:50.3
Na mayama na to begin with ha
03:52.1
Noong nasa Singapore kami
03:54.2
Fully booked ang mga hotel
03:55.6
At nagtaasa ng rates
03:57.2
Dahil sa tindi ng demand
04:00.1
May sariling Eros Tour photo stations
04:02.4
At talagang nakapila yung mga fans
04:04.4
Siyempre kumain at tag-shopping na rin sila
04:07.2
Yung mga tindaan sa Haji Lane
04:09.8
Kanya-kanyang gimmick
04:11.1
To attract and cash in
04:12.5
On the influx of foreign tourists
04:14.2
Nakasalubong namin sina Gia and Charlene
04:17.5
Na bumiyahin rin from Manila
04:18.9
Nanon kayo dito all the way to Singapore from Manila?
04:25.1
Support na sa mga
04:26.4
Pero wala kasulubong
04:28.9
Frustrated ba kayo na hindi siya nag-concert sa atin?
04:33.1
Kasi kailangan mo pang travel expense and everything
04:36.5
Pero kung sa Philippines siya
04:39.5
Concert ticket na lang
04:40.7
Ito naman ang question
04:44.3
Sakaling hindi exclusive sa Singapore ang Eros Tour
04:47.7
Eh kaya ba naman bang mag-host ng Manila?
04:54.1
Pero kamusta naman yung magiging experience
04:57.7
Eh baka matroma sila sa tindi ng traffic
05:01.8
Baka raw hindi akma yung concert venues natin
05:04.2
Sa specs ng stage ng Eros Tour
05:06.0
Pero assuming na kaya naman
05:08.2
Kunwari sa Philippine Arena
05:11.3
Imagine yung hassle ng pag-travel papunta roon
05:14.2
Naalala nyo ba yung Coldplay concert noong January?
05:18.6
Ginawan pa ng kanta ni Chris Martin
05:20.5
Eh ang hindi lang yata na traffic doon
05:23.3
Was a certain President Bongbong Marcos and his family
05:27.2
Eh nag-chopper kasi
05:29.2
Malaking bagay kasi sa isang concert
05:31.2
Ang matinong public transport system
05:33.2
Pero kung taga Metro Manila ka
05:37.2
And don't forget ha
05:38.2
Sobrang ganda ng airport natin, diba?
05:41.2
Hindi pong mahihiya yung Changi Airport ng Singapore
05:44.2
Ang lakas, makaproud na naiiya
05:47.2
Teka, kumusta naman ang ROI ng Singapore sa Eros Tour?
05:51.2
Ang estimate nasa
05:53.2
260 to 375 million US dollars
05:59.2
Eh kaya yung Southeast Asian neighbors
06:05.2
Pero alam nyo, lesson din yan sa atin eh
06:08.2
To attract big events like this
06:10.2
We need to level up
06:12.2
Ano nga pala yung ginagawa ng Department of Tourism natin?
06:15.2
Saka ng Department of Transportation
06:17.2
Sana nakaka-feel din sila noong
06:19.2
Fear of missing out sa economic benefits ng events like the Eros Tour
06:24.2
Pero may good news din naman
06:26.2
Pumalo raw sa 5.4 million ang bilang ng foreign tourists na bumisita sa Pilipinas last year
06:34.2
Tapos nasa 480 billion pesos daw ang international tourism receipts
06:39.2
O yung ginastos nila sa travel and all
06:42.2
Eh ang Malaysia, alam nyo ba?
06:44.2
Almost 29 million ang na-attract na foreign tourists during the same period
06:49.2
Pumangalaw ang Thailand with 28 million
06:52.2
Tapos pangatlo ang Singapore with 13.6 million
06:55.2
Pangapat ang Vietnam with 12.6 million
06:59.2
Katablan natin ang Cambodia sa 6th place
07:02.2
Happy na ba tayo dyan?
07:05.2
Ang ganda ganda kaya ng Pilipinas
07:07.2
Lagi ko nga sinasabi
07:09.2
Kung Pinoy ka ang hirap ma-impress pag nakakita ka ng beaches sa ibang bansa
07:13.2
Ibang level kasi yung ganda nung sa atin eh
07:15.2
Beaches pa lang yan ha
07:17.2
Kung maayos lang sana yung mga leader natin no?
07:20.2
Hindi po may long term vision sa ikauunlad kunwari ng tourism sector?
07:24.2
Yun talagang competent at hindi inuunang politika
07:27.2
O yung nalok-lok lang dahil sa political connections
07:30.2
Yung hindi small minded
07:39.2
At least yung mga Swifties who traveled all the way to Singapore had that time of their lives
07:44.2
Kasama na ako dun
07:46.2
A certified Swifty husband
07:54.2
I'll see you guys certainly later
07:56.2
Papatulog mo na ako ng paraan
