MANILA, Philippines -- Tourist arrivals in the Philippines for 2007 rose 8.7 percent from the previous year to a record 3.09 million, the tourism department said Friday.

Expenditures from tourists reached $4.89 billion, up 41 percent from the same period in 2006, the department said.

South Koreans were the most numerous visitors with 653,310 arrivals, a 14.2 percent increase over 2006.

The United States was the second largest contingent with 578,953, a two percent increase from 2006.

The Japanese were third at 395,012 but this was a 6.4 percent decrease from 2006.

Tourism Secretary Joseph Durano said he hopes the country can post about 3.3 million tourist arrivals and $5.8 billion in expenditures in 2008.

The department said it is encouraging private companies to schedule more events and promotions so that tourists will stay longer and spend more money.

The Philippines saw 2.843 million tourist arrivals in 2006.

I wonder how many of these tourists are pedophiles looking for pinoy kids, and horny foreigners hoping to get lucky with pretty pinays (and even the not-so-pretty ones)...

Our country is a magnet for pedophiles. Nakakita ko'g documentary sa una nga mga foreigners nga pervs ganahan jud sila sa Pinas just because child prostitution is so rampant.

Pedophiles need to be skinned alive.

It's a shame but was the truth ms C2, daghan na ang nadakpan ang NBI sa aktuwal nilang operasyun kontra sa mga pedo diri sa pinas but it was surprising to know that these people are free again & roaming in Maynila or even in the provences to scout another victims, katingalahan sab ni!

It is a shame that there are old men that come to the Philippines for sexual purposes. These kinds of people are truly wolves. They prey on the needy and desperate, and the sad thing is that there are many that will give in to their wishes.

Does the RP have strict anti-pedophile laws?

There are laws, dong. But implementation is another story. A foreigner who gets caught, can pretty much buy his way out of prison, basta naa lang dollar.

Yup! we do have laws regarding anti- pedo but there might be a problem
when it comes to implementation.
