few months ago i was invited to the launch of Lonely Planet Magazine Philippines and unveiled the first issue of our local version of the international Lonely Planet magazine. this is aside from the popular travel guide books distributed globally.
"through traveling or simply by reading Lonely Planet Philippines, nowhere feels out of reach anymore" says editor Gutsy Tuason. on this issue, immediately it features some of the country's popular yet still has that exotic character spots. like the waves of Pagudpud, the inspiring B'laan tribe in Sarangani and the awesome Cordilleras. definitely not limited to featuring the Philippines but spots from other countries as well.
one thing that makes this different from the usual travel magazine is its pull-out and fold travel guide and direct to the point travel tips. what's great is i had my copy signed by the editor. now available on selected bookshops at P250. published by Bella Luce Publications under the license from BBC magazines.

nice LP! i hope we can do something like this too para homegrown
The recent incident involving HK tourists is creating doubts and fear among some of my friends here of the Philippines as a tourist destination. But given time, the bad publicity will wear off.
wow, may lcoal version na!
sana may contributors na pinoy. meron ba?
It must be really an excellent magazine. So nice you had your copy signed by the editor.
even if there are proliferation of travel sites online, i still have three magazines subscriptions that i check for travel ideas.
may online version ba to?
cool! i've always been a fan of LP :-) my fave is how Lonely planet was built by the Wheelers...
yeah yeah yeah i wanna go to the philippines... will try to visit as many as those places you have been sharing here with us...
You're so good to promote this magazine. It's cool that it's as useful as it is beautiful.
wow! cool. astig ka dongho, talagang signed by the editor pa ang copy mo ha.
di pa ko nakakabili ng mag na to pero i am an avid fan of the travel book. better get this one too. :)
I'm excited to see LP finally soaked its feet in the Philippine waters - of magazine publishing. Hope to grab a copy of this.
I have a copy of this.and yeah---very insightful. good thing we already have our own Philippine issue. dito ko unang nakita yung article about viaje del sol which is similar to what you did last time Dom. great magazine.
magandang mag yan, nakakaencourage para sa lahat lalo na mga tourist to visit Philiphines.
