Bisaya Short Films Presents The First Ever Amazing Race in Siquijor Has Proof Of Its Success

Problem:


What do you get when you organize an Amazing Race game in the paradise that is Siquijor but with no declared prize and your participants are tired government officials being bullied online as corrupt and money-grabbing lifeless mosquitoes (I totally read that online)?

1. You will get to realize that the government officials you bullied are sometimes, if not most of the time, people who do things not for money.

Last October 29, 2015 was the first ever #InfoTourismAdventureRace organized by the Philippine Government for tourism officers in the Visayas. The race is inspired by the award-winning Amazing Race game. The game was a gigantic success, you can call everyone who attended to attest this. 
It is a success for two reasons:
  1. The employees had the chance to tour around Siquijor in the form of a fun fat-burning race, and interviewed the locals and the community heads in the region to share them online WITHOUT BEING PAID TO DO SO (or are they paid, and we were not told?). Email me if you know the real score by clicking HERE.

  2. The employees took photos of the entire Siquijor so that they can upload them in the blog managed by Bisaya Short Films and Cebu Blogging Community WITHOUT BEING PAID TO DO SO. This means that everyone around the world can now experience vicariously the wonders of #SensationalSiquijor from the efforts of the employees that you charmingly judged as the most evil people in the world. 
    



Can you imagine the possibilities if the photos about Siquijor go viral online? Even President Obama or Jennifer Lopez or George Clooney can now have the chance to know the value of Siquijor because of the photos from the government employees people online have bullied.

Who knows? Maybe #Aldub will go to Siquijor and expand their empire there, promoting not only the mystical Siquijor potions, and delectable heart-melting Pan Bisaya bread, and the absolutely sensual Fish Spa, but also telling everyone in the world that basically It's Funnest In The Philippines!

On a similar note, remember when the legendary Jessica Zafra said that she loves humanity, but it's the humans that she hates? Well, the Philippine government system is probably the problem, and not the humans.

If the government system is made to make sure that the mental health of the government employess are checked to be always healthy, you will never get a corrupt employee.

If the government system ensures that the employees are given medication to every anxiety and psychological issues they experience, you will never produce a president that bribes.

It's all in the mind, and no matter how intelligent the candidate is, nothing will ever work as good as making sure we elect mentally healthy individuals. 

Only the mentally ill steal money from the people, but not all mentally ill steal.


So the problem lies in making sure that the employees are mentally checked to have no mental disorder of any variation. And you know what's a good way to make sure the employees are healthy? By giving them a break and destressing their minds through the genius of the first ever #InfoTourismAdventureRace.

Perhaps we can make into a law of mandatory mental health check up of government officials, including the president, the way we do random drug tests?

2. You get to realize that meetings are sometimes a waste of time and can harm the morale of employees.

Time Magazine reports that meetings are unproductive and a waste of time. Lectures can be as destructive and soul-shattering especially if the participants of the lecture are forced to attend because of duty. When was the last time you had fun in a government-organized convention in the Philippines? 

Unless your lecturer is #Aldub or Marian Rivera, chances are you will be smacked down by boredom and hatred in the meeting. This is the problem fixed by Vince, the brilliant organizer behind the idea of the first ever #InfoTourismAdventureRace.

The idea is simple. You put fun in the seminar. Instead of letting the tired and bullied government employees sit through a day of lecture, let them have fun the whole time by discovering the lecture for themselves. 

Instead of shoving information that they don't care about into their minds, let them ask the questions they care about and let them find the answers themselves. Make them move. Make them ask. Make them care. That's the game.

And what's the results? We don't know about everyone, but it's fair to say that most of the participants of the first ever #InfoTourismAdventureRace held in the serenely fascinating Coco Grove Beach Resort in Tubod, San Juan, Siquijor Island Philippines are claiming that:
  • the InfoTourism race is something they want to do again.
  •  the #SensationalSiquijor race is the most memorable convention they ever experienced.

This is an honest assesment vouched by Bisaya Short Films,and email me at: bisayawriter(at)gmail.com so I can connect you with the participants and you can ask them yourself whether these claims are true.
