The above photo postcard had been circulating in FaceBook a couple of days. I am not sure whether this is one of the official postcards from the Department of Tourism promoting the province as the tourist destination for 2013. The post card is eye catching and the model beautiful. However, because the model picture is much larger than the tourist spots in Marinduque, it would appear to me that the post cards is promoting sex tourism in the province or in the Philippines in general. Do you agree or disagree? I would like to hear of your comments.
Incidentally, when I show this postcard to my neighbor who is a Caucasian American, he commented that the model is not representative of a true Filipina beauty. His idea of a true filipina beauty as he describes it to me is as follows: The model should be a little brown in complexion and preferably with long hair. Her eyes should be a little bigger. My neighbor also commented that the model could be from any other Asian countries, even Hongkong, Thailand or Japan. I think his idea of Filipina beauty is more of the Hawaiian look. Any comments?
Tito Dave your neighbor is absolutely right and so do you.
