I WANT YOU!
DO YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO BE MANILA'S NEXT TOP TOUR GUIDE?
I'm just looking for a few good men and women to join me. If you are of legal age, educated, fluent in English, obsessed with Filipino culture, aren't afraid of challenges, and are a chronic attention seeker/frustrated actor, then perhaps you may have what it takes to become an ambassador to all that is wonderful in this city of our affections. Join this competition and you just will not only be given the chance to win a few prizes but also be given the opportunity of joining my signature team of Manila tour guides. It's a chance of a lifetime that will not only provide you with a fulfilling career but also help make this city of ours a better place to live in.
One step at a time.
It's easy to join the contest too. Just send me your resume, a photo, and a short YouTube video of you convincing me why you love Manila. Send it all to celdrantours@hotmail.com
Yeah. I know, it sounds like it should be a reality show no? I wish. Ahem, ABS CBN? QTV? GMA? Perhaps we can develop this into something? Whatchathink?

Wow I love it. I would have loved to join if I was still in Manila.
Hello sir.
That's an awesome photo!

It's always been my dream to be a Manila Tour Escort/Tour Guide, like those I have seen in Europe.
Sadly, I don't live in the Philippines anymore.
You've mentioned Q... they actually have a program that can feature your search, it's called "Hired!" hosted by Paolo Abrera and Mariz Umali. Maybe you should contact the production team.
Or maybe I could help you by bringing this competition to their attention... :)
I would love to join, but I have a word limit per day, lest I get dry mouth. :)
Good luck, Carlos!

You look like Jack Black in the photo.
U look cute, though. :)

try to pitch this idea to qtv 11's "may trabaho ka"
Carlos,
I've been a blog reader for a while now. Wanted to go on your tour when I was in the Philippines earlier this year but tragedy kept me in the province and with no time in Manila. Anyway, I'm back in San Francisco now and just noticed a shout out of you in the Chonicle's Travel section.
Here's the whole article:
Traveler: Joe DiBernardo, Walnut Creek
I went because: My wife, Alison, had a qigong retreat in the Philippines, and we chose to visit Palawan afterward in part due to an article in The Chronicle ("Philippines Green," Nov. 18, 2007).
Don't miss: Islands, beaches and rock formations in the Bacuit Archipelago near El Nido (on the island of Palawan).
Don't bother: Spending more than two days in Manila.
Coolest souvenir: Locally made hand-carved wooden box with frogs on top from Asiano shop in Puerto Princesa, Palawan.
Worth a splurge: Staying at Dolarog Beach Resort (midrange). Cost includes your individual hut, most meals and daily island-hopping by boat.
I wish I'd packed: Fewer clothes so that I was traveling lighter.
Other comments: Carlos Celdran's walking tour in Intramuros (Manila) was informative and fun.
and here's the link: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2008/05/23/TRDQ10QBQ6.DTL&type=travel
Thought you might enjoy this newfound international fame. Haha. Good luck on the search.

Can you do that?
Can you ask Qtv?
That would be cool if "you're hired!" can help me.
HI Carlos,
do we actually do your stuff and tour people around as a prize?!
i'd love that as a prize...
To Anonymous 6:16 pm, I think you actually get hired to tour people using Carlos' patented information. I think ha.
Anyway, honey, just wanted to say 2 things; 1st, so happy you're doing this as you really need more people to do what you do. And do it well.
2nd, great photo!
Last, I can even throw in a free Pulse Yoga membership to the winner. Also as a thank you for posting my yoga stuff.
Also, sent you an email, more yoga stuff for posting. Pretty please with a cherry on it?
Gosh~~ I want to join so bad as I truly love Manila. Born, raised and still living here. :)
But seeing as this is a competition, I don't have time for it. ):
I was browsing and by and saw this post. I never knew this and I am hoping there would be another leg for this challenge. I would definitely join. I love cultural facts about the country and I must admit that I am a fan.
just in case, here's my email sirmattie@gmail.com
thanks Mr. Celdran.
