Metro Manila (CNN Philippines) — “Love the Philippines,” the latest slogan of the Department of Tourism, has elicited bashing from netizens. One of their comments is that it is so generic. But long before the slogan existed, there was already one magazine show that promoted love for the Philippines — iHeartPh.
\”We really want to showcase the beauty of our country,\” explains Executive Producer Vanessa Verzosa. \”The Philippines is really blessed with natural resources. And that’s what we want to highlight in the show, inspiring Filipinos to appreciate and love our country.\”
iHeartPh piloted in 2018 on CNN Philippines. Now on its 8th season, the magazine show continues to deliver its promise by showcasing inspiring stories and aspirational features.
\”I love experiencing new things and going to new places,\” shares program host Valerie Tan. \”But more than that, my most favorite part is meeting people from all walks of life, connecting with them, and sharing their stories to our viewers.\”
Tan adds that iHeartPh highlights these positive features with that Filipino touch.
\”You can be assured you’ll feel inspired after each episode. Every story we do is unique and there’s always a good takeaway, not only for the viewers but also for me!,\” she said.
