ABS-CBN’s Choose Philippines website recognized the tourist spots, attractions, and dishes that were deemed most memorable and delicious by the public in the first-ever Choose Philippines Awards.

Cebu bagged three honors.

Honoring the best of what the Philippines has to offer, Choose Philippines Awards aims to honor the country that inspired people to eat, explore, and share meaningful experiences in its three major categories: Best Destination, Best Dish, and Best Accommodation.

Cebu bagged the Best Festival award (Sinulog), Best Accommodation for Solo Travelers (Plantation Bay Resort and Spa in Lapu-Lapu City), and Best Destination (Water Form) for the three-stage cascading waterfall Kawasan Falls.

It was followed by Quezon, which won Best Accommodation for barkada (Balesin Island) and Best Accommodation for Family (Villa Escudero in Tiaong).

At the awards night held at the Dolphy Theater, singer Angeline Quinto performed “Piliin Mo ang Pilipinas,” the theme song of Choose Philippines. Kapamilya stars Matteo Guidecilli, JK Labajo, and Yohan Huang also entertained the audience in their production numbers.

All the winners at the Choose Philippines Awards were nominated and voted for by netizens from all over the country and the world.

Choose Philippines Awards is only one of the ways ABS-CBN, the Philippines’ leading media and entertainment company, is promoting and supporting Philippine tourism. The network, now rapidly transitioning into an agile digital company, also regularly features the country’s must-see destinations on multiple media platforms – in its magazines, TV shows, films, and other digital platforms and services. ABS-CBN, through its Lingkod Kapamilya Foundation’s Ecotourism Projects, also offers packages that support the livelihood of locals and protect and maintain the natural ecosystems of the tourist sites.
