There is good news to look forward to in our tourism landscape. The first one is the application of United Air Lines, a US based company; and Jet Airways, an India based company to have flights in our country.
This positive action happens despite complaints against our country for charging discriminatory tax policy favoring our local airlines. I only imagine how many airlines will seek application to have flights in our country if this tax is removed. Now that is an open skies policy that will push us at the center of tourism and no more the best kept secret of Asia.
Another is the planned casino and shopping mall to be opened this 2012 at the Subic Bay Freeport. This will boost the tourism that is already stronger at Subic.
Last but not the least, is the appointment of Secretary Ramon Jimenez, I think his character gels well with the needs of the industry. He is an advertising and marketing guy that is so capable of marketing the Philippines to the world.
So it seems things are looking-up to our tourism industry and if the tourism congress that is upcoming this September creates a united front then there is no doubt that we will again be on our way to claiming our lost glory in Asia.

Didn’t you know that
Physical Therapist will be a good prospect for you as a future profession? According to the Department of Labor in the US
the employment rate will increase as much as 30 percent by 2018, a sign that Filipinos
can get a big share of this pie, most especially those currently enrolled in
this course.
The decline in the demand for
nursing services in US and Europe created an employment vacuum in our country
for those who wanted to work abroad. In this scenario, the therapy industry can cushion the negative impact
of the decline.
To know more about
Physical Therapy and other rehab related profession attend the upcoming
Filipino Therapist Expo and Conference, September 24-25, 2011 at Crown Plaza,
Ortigas Center.

As what an old adage goes
“music can change the world because it can change people”. Truly music has
captured many people in the world. And as we believe this is another way of
letting other people knows what and how we feel, when we are muted by our
words. Well, what is the relation of music on the upcoming event the 1st
Filipino Therapist Expo and Conference?
Research
has shown that music has a profound effect on your body and psyche.In fact
there is also a growing field of health care as Music Theraphy which uses music
to heal. Music Therapy is an allied health profession and a field of scientific
research which studies correlations between the process of clinical therapy and
biomusciology, musical acoustics, music theory, psychoacoustics and comparative
musicology. Music therapists are found in nearly every area of the helping
professions. Some commonly found practices include developmental work
(communication, motor skills, etc.) with individuals with special needs,
songwriting and listening in reminiscence/orientation work with the elderly,
processing and relaxation work, and rhythmic entrainment for physical
rehabilitation in stroke victims.
In line with this
growing demand for the Music Therapist, the 1st Filipino therapist is
privileged to have one of the Practitioners on the said field. Ms. Celeste
Sanchez a Music Therapist will share her knowledge and wide experience on this
very specialized field.
Ms.Sanchez is armed with her own visions “to enable persons with developmental
disabilities overcome their traumas and become creative, productive,
self-reliant whole persons and a mission of providing special education, training,
livelihood assistance, rehabilitation and development to persons with
developmental disabilities, through music and arts therapy, including the
physical, psychosocial, intellectual and spiritual well-being of the
beneficiaries”. With this surely she will be able to help us realize that music
can be consider as a helping aid and will definitely share broad knowledge and
own experience as she manage and encounter instances that lead her to the music
therapy industry. As she continuously reaching the goal she
manage to have found founder and
chairman of several organization named Divine Mercy Mobile Center of Music
& Arts Therapy, Celestials little Angels Foundation, Inc., and
PhilipineAsociation of Music and Arts Therapist which are a non-government organization
that mainly promotes and provides learning,training, rehabilitation and develop
ones disability through music arts and therapy.
Ms. Sanchez has put up recitals that showcase that disabled were able to
do things that some taught they can she still
did not consider herself yet as a Music Therapist. Until the time has come that
her work was being noticed she was then consider as a Music therapist. Ms.
Sanchez has also written two books that were entitled What Music Theraphy Did
to George (2005) and Special Songs for Chilren (2005). She is an
undergraduate of Master in Special education in De La Salle University, has the
Master Classes in Piano in St. Scholastica’s College, Bachelor of Education in
Asian Institute of Arts & Sciences, and has undergone into Choral
Conducting & Choral Arrangement in University of the Philippines.
