he New 7 Wonders of the World campaign was a resounding success, in which more than 100 million votes were cast and which took democracy to a new global level. Now, the second campaign organized by the non-profit New7Wonders Foundation, to choose the New7Wonders of Nature, is off to a promising start: Some 200 nominations were submitted by some half a million people within the first few months of the campaign.
Vote for your nominee!
Voting for nominees will continue through 31.12.08. Then, a panel of experts will create a list of 21 candidates from which voters worldwide will elect the New7Wonders of Nature. The New7Wonders Panel of Experts, under the leadership of Prof. Federico Mayor, former Director-General of UNESCO, will select the 21 Finalists from the top-ranked Official Supported Nominees (to ensure the fairness of the process, the names of the Panel of Experts will be released after their decision has been made). The 21 finalists will then be put to popular vote.
The change from man-made structures to treasures of nature
New7Wonders Founder and President Bernard Weber notes, “We are finding the New7Wonders of Nature campaign to be excitingly different from the first one. So many breathtakingly beautiful, natural places are still quite unknown to many. From waterfalls to fjords, rainforests to mountain peaks, freshwater lakes to salt flats, we are discovering together the incredible beauty and variety of our planet.”
HERE's THE FUN PART:
The Philippines has its own entry - four of them actually (that I know of). Help vote for Philippines' own hot spots to show the world that Philippines has its own natural beauty, the true Pearl of the Orient.
Mayon Volcano is currently on the 8th position. Followed by Puerto Princesa Subterranean River in the 9th. Chocolate Hills comes at the 11th place and Tubattaha Reef at number 17.
Now here's where you need to work. To promote this, repost this on your site to encourage more votes from more friends.

Thanks. Go Pilipinas! We may not have won the Olympics, but hey, at least we get to promote our Nature-ish side.
