I’ve seen it all over the news now. The Philippine Department of Tourism and MTV Network’s international campaign called Awesome Philippines has created an island inside Second Life. Of course, being one of the people blogging about Second Life here in my country, I AM PROUD.

It has only been a year since I started traveling around the country and being able to see its beauty with the help of the company I am working in right now.  Anyway, I can’t just keep the beauty of this home country of mine to myself so I’m really glad that everyone I know in Second Life that lives outside the Philippines can now have a glimpse of the Philippines.

Quoted from the news:

On the island, visitors can dive virtually with whale white sharks at the mouth of Donsol River, Sorsogon; go windsurfing on a beach modeled after the famous white sands of Boracay; fly above the majestic 1,268 Chocolate Hills of Bohol; and visit Mount Mayon, the Philippines’ most active volcano with 48 eruptions to date.

So far, I’ve tried searching for it inside Second Life and found nothing. I guess the island is so new and not yet accessible by the public. Once I got the chance to visit it virtually, I’ll take some screenshots.

Time to visit virtual Donsol, Mayon and Boracay!
