New 7 Wonders of Nature Nominees: Philippine Natural Wonders
Let me guess, you stumbled on this site looking for relevant information about vacation spots in the Philippines. Or maybe you followed a link. Or maybe…well, whatever the reason why you’re here, there’s something helpful that you could do to promote the wonders of the Philippines. It’s so simple — since you have an internet access (otherwise, you won’t be reading this post), just vote for the Philippine wonders as nominees for the New 7 Wonder of Nature. Here’s how.
As of this writing, there are a number of Philippine sites (not websites, but nature sites) among the Top 77 official seven wonders nominees. These 77 sites are eligible for consideration by the New7Wonders of Nature Panel of Experts for inclusion in the group of 21 finalist candidates. The Philippine sites in the Top 77 are (with their corresponding ranks):
Tubbataha Reef (8)
Chocolate Hills (9)
Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park (18)
The selection is among all the nations of the world, so competition is stiff. To help, you could vote for these sites. Click here to vote for Tubbataha Reef, click here for Chocolate Hills, and click here for Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park. I suggest you start with the Philippine natural wonder with the lowest rank.
Update: As of 19 June 2008, Tubbataha Reef is No. 2, Chocolate Hills is No. 4 and Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park is No. 5 based on the live ranking. It’s gratifying to note that another Philippine site, Mayon Volcano, is already No. 9. These are the only four Philippine natural wonders nominated so far. Why is your vote important? Here’s why?
The Top 77 nominees will be considered by a panel of experts for shortlisting (down to 21), which means that because the nomination will continue until 31 December 2008, your vote really counts. The final 21 candidates selected by the panel of experts will be announced in January 2009. A new round of voting, from 2009-2010, will be undertaken to select the new wonders out of these 21 candidates. The new Seven Wonder of Nature will be announced by summer of 2010.
