00:00 More than 20 million international tourists visited Malaysia last year,
00:07 which was worth more than 14 billion US dollars in revenue.
00:11 What are the recommendations of tourists in the country?
00:14 Bian Manalo will be back.
00:16 Rich in culture, tradition, and belief.
00:25 High-rise buildings, delicious food, and unique diversity.
00:32 This is the land of the Hornbill, the country of Malaysia.
00:37 Perfect for their tagline, "Malaysia, truly Asia".
00:41 According to the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture Malaysia,
00:45 more than 20 million international tourists visited Malaysia last year,
00:51 which was worth more than 14 billion US dollars in revenue.
00:55 And this year, tourists are expected to arrive in the country,
01:00 which is possible to reach almost 30 million tourists.
01:05 And I am committed to positioning Malaysia as a premier travel destination in Asia.
01:12 Here, in the long stretch of Petaling Street in Kuala Lumpur,
01:18 you can find the Petaling Street Market, their Chinatown.
01:23 You can buy souvenirs and affordable stuffs here,
01:27 such as clothes, shoes, luggage, and other things.
01:32 And of course, you can also buy local food here.
01:36 And one of the recommended here is their famous Mochi.
01:41 Thank you. This is Mochi.
01:43 Delicious.
01:46 They also have their cold soyabean, which is a good source of vitamin for the hot weather.
01:53 But of course, Malaysia Trip is not complete if you don't miss
02:03 and take a picture of the famous landmark in Kuala Lumpur, Petronas Twin Tower.
02:09 It is 1,483 feet high and has 88 floors.
02:14 It is the world's tallest twin skyscraper.
02:17 And it is more beautiful at night because of the lights around it.
02:24 Some of our fellow countrymen who are on vacation in Malaysia
02:28 did not miss the beauty of Petronas Tower.
02:32 Like Jonas Obando Fernandez, who said that aside from tourist destinations,
02:37 he also has a passion for the culture of Malaysia.
02:41 The culture here is diverse.
02:44 I never expected that Malaysia is this beautiful.
02:47 Each corner is different.
02:50 The bars are beautiful.
02:52 So he is looking forward to his return to Malaysia.
02:56 Hopefully, one day I will return again because Malaysia is beautiful.
03:02 Aside from the Filipino tourists,
03:04 some of our fellow countrymen are working around the Twin Towers as photographers.
03:11 One of them is Yusri Abdullah,
03:14 who came from Zamboanga to Malaysia to work.
03:18 He earns enough to cover the needs of his family in the Philippines.
03:25 It's okay, just a little bit. No problem.
03:27 I'm proud that I can help Malaysia's tourism.
03:32 President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. visited Malaysia last year
03:37 for his state visit where one of the topics is the strengthening of tourism in the two countries.
