Siargao Island continues to captivate audiences worldwide as Brigada Group chose the island as one of the featured locations for their pilot project under 𝗗𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗣𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀, an initiative dedicated to showcasing the most breathtaking destinations across the country through immersive storytelling and globally inspired travel experiences.

As part of this endeavor, Brigada News FM, in collaboration with 𝗠𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗰 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗹 𝗟𝗼𝘃𝗲 (𝗠𝗧𝗟), is producing a globally appealing music video, highlighting iconic landscapes, rich cultural heritage, and exceptional local establishments—including the pristine beauty of Siargao.

Music Travel Love, composed of Canadian twin brothers Bob and Clint Moffatt, has gained international recognition for their heartfelt acoustic performances filmed in stunning travel locations. Their involvement in this project further solidifies Siargao’s status as a premier tourism and creative hub, bringing its charm to a global audience.

With invaluable assistance from DOT Caraga, the filming was successfully completed, ensuring a smooth production. In appreciation, Brigada News FM Mindanao Area Manager Alden Dacal and Brigada Group CEO Elmer Catulpos extended their heartfelt gratitude to DOT Caraga, especially to RD Ivonnie B. Dumadag, for the unwavering support.

This collaboration highlights the power of tourism and media partnerships, reinforcing the Philippines’ reputation as a world-class travel destination. This initiative also showcases Siargao’s vibrant identity, inspiring efforts to preserve and promote the country’s natural and cultural treasures.

The Department of Tourism (DOT) joins the world in mourning the passing of His Holiness, Pope Francis. His legacy of compassion, humility, and unwavering service to humanity has left an indelible mark on the world—and holds a special place in the hearts of the Filipino people.

As we reflect on the impact of the previous visit of Pope Francis to our beloved country and the millions of lives he has touched since, we are reminded of the powerful messages of love, compassion, and solidarity that he brought upon our shores.

As we reflect on the life and legacy of Pope Francis, we are reminded of the values of empathy, kindness, and service to others – values that are also at the heart of our Filipino communities.

We extend our deepest condolences to the global Catholic community and to all those who mourn this profound loss to humanity.

May he be granted eternal rest in the embrace of the Lord.
