The Department of Tourism (DOT) presents the “Sounds More Fun in the Philippines” Playlist, a compilation of specially selected Filipino music that will welcome listeners back to the Philippine destinations they love, and let them relive those epic travel memories.
The initial playlists will be available on digital music streaming app Spotify. The first 10 playlists to be launched are Manila Night Lights, Boracay Beach Bar, Onshore in La Union, Cordillera Calm, The Pan-Philippine Highway Road Trip, Marilaque Bike Trail Mix, Balikbayan Juke Box, Counting Clouds in Camiguin, Wedding Vows in Tagaytay and Deep Dive in Palawan.
The chosen songs aim to set the soundtrack of one’s stories—like the Cordillera Clam playlist that provides laidback OPM tunes to warm the bones like a strong cup of Cordillera coffee; or the Boracay Beach Bar playlist that surrounds one with beach vibes perfect for grooving; or the Manila Night Lights that brings listeners back to the eras of disco, dance rock, and neo soul, reliving those dazzling nights when the city truly comes alive.
“These tunes will allow listeners to evoke the getaways, secret spots, and homes away from home that every traveler can find somewhere across the 7,641 islands of the Philippines.”, said Tourism Secretary Bernadette Romulo-Puyat.
The playlists are attuned for every kind of listener—the listed songs can be played loud to get one going before that early morning bike trail, or to keep them company on an epic road trip; or these can be played softly in the background as one savors the bliss that follows a good surf, or daydreams while lounging and gazing at the sea on a white sand beach.
Through this, the DOT intends to provide the feeling that, wherever you are, the fun is never far away.
To create the playlists, the DOT enlisted the help of Filipino music obsessives. These include legendary rock DJ and Sandwich bassist Myrene Academia, podcast personality Ryan Joseph, music pundit Jocelyn Blwg, Matt San Pedro of Manila Community Radio and Transit Records, musicologist Patricia Brillante-Silvestre, and music producer Abdel Aziz.
The songs and artists featured in these playlists are Pinoys as well as international artists and bands with Filipino roots.
Follow DOT’s official Spotify account, Tourism Philippines, and explore the archipelago’s diverse soundscapes and get to know the artists who made the music that has defined generations, and those that are charting its future course.
#SoundsMoreFunInThePhilippines is a celebration of why—and where—music sounds more fun in the Philippines.

The other day, while I was at work, my sister stole my
iPad and tested to see if it can survive a thirty foot drop, just so she can be a youtube
sensation. My iPad is now broken and she has 83 views.
I know this is entirely off topic but I had to share it with someone!
We absolutely love your blog and find nearly all of your post’s to be

available for you? I wouldn’t mind publishing a post or
elaborating on most of the subjects you write with regards to here.
