The Price of Stardom

We often hear celebrities lament about how they have no privacy. How unfair it is that it’s like they have no right to just be themselves. How they basically have no freedom from public judgement. But the truth is they can be themselves anytime, anywhere. What binds them is the fear that by being themselves, their popularity might (or will likely) decline. So no, I do not feel bad for you Mr./Ms. Celebrity who makes more money in a day than most people do in a year.

Guy Laramee looks at the erosion of culture in his varied body of work.  These sculptures - from a series called The Great Wall - play with the idea of re-envisioning current cultural trajectories.  Read the text associated with them on his site:

From the looks of it, the slogan (and its execution) is definitely a 1st cousin – but a harder working one – of the “Wow, Philippines – More Than…” campaign which also came from the same ad agency that prepared this new dish – BBDO.

It puts the Philippines on a competitive (and fighting) stance and promises a commodity that is solid even with the most laughable infrastructure: F-U-N.

Best part, we get to OWN the word… a prerequisite for memorable advertising (i.e. Volvo = safety; El Al = hijack-proof; Datu Puti = asim; Rexona = long-lasting; Veto = B.O.)… and for compelling, bahala-na-si-batman social media experimentation.

The Secretary was going on and on about the logo – but the words just went from my right ear to the left. I don’t think an earthshaking logo (even if designed by Malang or Modesto or George Lois) has enough power to make a cynical, brainwashed-to-expect-the-worst tourist come to the Philippines.

I have attempted to imagine and create the campaign based on our conversation. I have fantasized what I’d do if I were the Creative Director tasked with translating the slogan into communications materials.

So here goes.

It’s fun here in the Philippines. :)

Pablo, an Argentinian (& Italian) based in Berlin just came from the Philippines. He’s doing his Illustration Around the World Project, and the Philippines was his fifth stop. He super liked it here and he plans to come back. :) As I’m writing this, he’s on his way to the Full Moon Party in Thailand. :D

I really like it here, it’s one of the reasons why I haven’t left the country to work or live abroad. I’ve been to different countries in Asia and Europe (I haven’t been to North or South America, but I want to) and I still prefer to stay here. 

So yea, I think it’s about time we Filipinos become the ambassadors of our own country. :)
