Indonesia and Maldives have withdrawn from the search for the 7 New Wonders of the World after experiencing various forms of deception and money-grabbing schemes from the organizers. The experiences of these two finalists only confirm the sham and scam that the whole search truly is. The big question left for the Philippines is whether to follow the footsteps of Indonesia and Maldives after the anomalies have been revealed and confirmed.
I believe that it is best for the Philippines to simply withdraw from the search. The controversial and highly anomalous nature of the search will not do the country any good. The result of the search, in the first place, does not have credibility much less impact and significance in the international community. To continue to uphold the belief that the result of the search will boost tourism and help the economy is a big mistake.
I certainly hope that the Philippines salvages its pride even after being fooled into participating all-out in the 7 New Wonders of the World. I hope that the country recovers its dignity and pride by saying enough is enough to an international scam like the sham 7 New Wonders of the World.
