Pirates 'R Us - Pilipinas Kay Ganda

"Pilipinas Kay Ganda" was supposed to replace the "WOW Philippines" campaign of former Tourism Secretary and Senator Richard "Dick" Gordon. It was immediately scrapped though and the guy "responsible" just resigned. So why did he resigned and why was the campaign scrapped?

The "Pilipinas Kay Ganda" logo looked a lot like Poland's own tourism logo and the Philippine Department of Tourism (DOT) just spent P4.8 million for the "preview presentation" of the epic fail logo above.

I know this is not related to video games or pop culture but we're talking here of almost 5 million pesos of taxpayers' hard earned money. I also read somewhere in Plurk that the DOT allotted P100 million pesos to develop the also scrapped website of "Pilipinas Kay Ganda".

Shame on you DOT. SHAME.
