Whatâs your Philippine Travel Level? Filipinos flex their past local travels with this web app
Singapore-based filipino software engineer denz del villar created a web app that can help you visualize the places youâve been to in the country..
As an archipelago, the Philippines is teeming with tourist destinations waiting for travelers to explore. Some document their adventures by taking photos and videos to share online, while others immortalize their experiences by writing them in a journal. If youâre among the lucky ones who are able to travel the many parts of the country, then youâll love this web app.Â
Singapore-based Filipino software engineer Denz del Villar created a web app that can help you visualize the places youâve been to in the country. Dubbed the My Philippines Travel Level, the software features the Philippine map divided into 83 provinces where users can âchoose the appropriate level of travel.â They can select if they have lived in the area, stayed there, visited, alighted, and passed or tag it as never been there. After going through all the regions of the Philippines, the app will present your total score or your Philippines Travel Level. According to its website, the app is a project inspired by JapanEx.
âThis is my first time dabbling with ReactJS, and I used ChatGPT heavily to help me with the project,â Denz wrote.
Currently, Filipino netizens are using the app to see their Philippines Travel Level. Among the many who flexed their result is former vice president Leni Robredo, who got a 315 score.Â
You can find out your Philippines Travel Level here . And if youâre surprised by the result, take it as your sign to discover and see more local destinations this year.

DENZ DEL VILLAR. Del Villar is the software engineer who created the viral My Philippines Travel Level app
MANILA, Philippines â As Filipinos are looking to start traveling again after years of pandemic restrictions, social media feeds go abuzz as users share maps of places theyâve been to in the Philippines, all thanks to a web app.
Singapore-based Filipino software engineer Denz Del Villar created the My Philippines Travel Level website for users to show how well-traveled they are in the Philippines.
The do-it-yourself map quickly blew up as personalities such as Macoy Dubs and even former vice president Leni Robredo shared their results.
Denz tells Rappler that the website represents his first time doing web development, adding that he has been thinking about the idea for years but wasnât able to start on it due to inexperience.
âI think it started in 2019. I randomly saw this Japanese version of the map and I got interestedâŠ. I was amazed and thought âHey, there should also be a Philippine version of this,â but there wasnât any available,â he said in a mix of English and Filipino.
He only got motivated to finally get started on the project on April 5 while on a ten-hour layover on his way to Turkey. He also had one tool that could finally help him conquer web development â ChatGPT.
âA lot of software engineers saw the potential of ChatGPT to guide them in building their projects,â Denz said.
The software engineer estimates that around 70% to 80% of the now-viral website was done with the help of ChatGPT.
Behind the scenes
Denzâs journey with the website started with creating the Philippine map, using the entire ten hours of his initial layover to build this groundwork.
â[The website] is graphics-heavy, you need the map first of all, and I didnât know how to do it or draw it even. I asked ChatGPT how to get started. I also followed the format of those who created the Japanese versionâŠThe website wasnât live then as there were still many features that were missingâ he said.
To fill in the gaps with the missing features, he would consult ChatGPT and create code for the website during his many long bus rides to different parts of Turkey.
Among the features aided by ChatGPT was an essential feature where users click on a certain province and label it through these levels:
- Lived there (5) – you spent a significant portion of your life in that area.
- Stayed there (4) – you slept at least a night in that area.
- Visited there (3) – you spent some hours exploring the area.
- Alighted there (2) – you just dropped off for a short stopover, layover, or transfer.
- Passed there (1) – you passed by that area but did not set foot.
- Never been there (0) – you need to travel there soon.
![ph travel level app](https://www.rappler.com/tachyon/2023/04/my-philippines-travel-level-map.png?fit=1024%2C1024)
Denz shares that ChatGPT was able to give âpretty niceâ answers to his queries as long as he gave a pretty good prompt. However, he added that the codes given by the artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot did not work immediately for the website.
âItâs like you search on Google how other people do it, but itâs almost on that same level. When I do that and put what ChatGPT recommends, I still had to make sure that the code works, so I had to tweak a bit,â he said.
The AI chatbot also helped Denz with the basics of hosting a website such as getting a domain.
âFor software engineers, when you learn to do a new program, starting from scratch is hard. But if you have a template, it gets easier. Since what ChatGPT gave me are templates on how to start, it made my life easier. Thatâs what it took me [from] 2019 to until a few days ago to start as there wasnât anyone who could help me or I could ask someone who knows about it, but I didnât have time,â he added.
Hallucinations
Despite its perks, Denz encountered problems with ChatGPT where the chatbot âhallucinatedâ or gave an entirely wrong answer to his query on adding a feature where users can share their maps directly to their Instagram stories.
After extensive research, Denz realized that in order to get such feature, he would have to rewrite his entire website code in React Native when he was coding in ReactJS.
React Native is used for cross-platform development in mobile apps, while ReactJS is used to build user interfaces of websites. The programming language used by React Native and ReactJS are also different.
âApparently, there is no such [package] in ReactJS, but there is in React Native. So when I prompted ChatGPT to give me packages that do this, the chatbot gave one. When I checked the package, it didnât work. I think ChatGPT invented that this package can do this [function] using this command and then that command did not exist in the first place,â he said.
Denz created instead a compromise to have a function where users can save the image of their completed maps which they can share on their social media accounts.
OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, also recognized such flaws in a November 2022 blog post on its website , saying that fixing the issue can be âchallengingâ due to several factors such as having âcurrently no source of truthâ in reinforcement learning training.
Denz said that this problem shows that there are âdangersâ in believing that ChatGPT can give entirely factual information as it can be âsusceptible to disinformation.â
After testing the site with friends, he posted the website on April 9 through an Instagram story sticker and Reddit. Denz added that after the website went live, he did not rely on ChatGPT as much as he would research on Google instead for quick bug fixes.
Traveling to the Philippines
According to the My Philippines Travel Level website, Denzâs Philippines travel level is only at 62. The software engineer attributes the low level as he only got to travel more when he was able to earn enough money from working in his first job in Japan from 2015 to 2017.
âItâs very impractical that if youâre in Japan, you would go to the Philippines to have a vacation since the [plane] tickets are expensive. It was much faster to do âdomestic travelâ in Japan,â he said.
Denz added that most of his travel in the Philippines were mostly in Luzon. He also traveled to Cebu for a layover from Japan, Boracay for a family trip, and Davao for the National Schools Press Conference in 2010.
He hopes to change that now that he is based in Singapore, eyeing destinations such as Palawan, Cebu, and Batanes.
Denz also noticed patterns from the maps he has seen from his circle of friends and other posts on social media, saying that those who are âwell-offâ are not necessarily the most well-traveled in the Philippines.
âI usually see that government workers, theyâre the ones who go to a lot of places [since] the demand of their work requires them to travel to all of the provinces. Theyâre the high scorers, not necessarily casual travelers,â he said.
Denz also clarified that he doesnât collect any data from the web app aside from the page views from the flag counter at the bottom of the website. So far, the My Philippines Travel Level website has been visited 2,301,068 times.
Meanwhile, Denz said he knew the maps had the potential to go viral. However, what surprised him was how companies, organizations, and experts quickly picked up on the gimmick. Those versions would visualize from where ATMs are available nationwide to real minimum wage rates per region.
At ayun na nga. Dahil bored tayo. Here's the trending map showing the Current Real Minimum Wage Rates per region. Note the lack of orange and yellow colors. Also note that each color represents a P36.04 range. Data obtained from https://t.co/79J4i31RuT on April 15, 2023. pic.twitter.com/NwdTNeEtLf — rm (@rmllrd) April 15, 2023
The viral spread of the travel map also caused concerned users to rush to support the software engineer and his work.
So basically binigyan nanaman ng mamamayan ang mga brands ng libre. Hindi lang LIBRENG materyal o ideya o distribution. LIBRE maging LABOR at INDUSTRY INSTINCT ng developer na gumawa nung vacation map. Letâs support himmm pic.twitter.com/skP9Q5SKyh — Elon Moks (@moki_doki) April 16, 2023
With attention online placed on the My Philippines Travel Level website, Denz hopes that it would bring Filipinos to explore the Philippines more as âthere really is more that the country can offer.â
He also hopes that those who create AI products such as OpenAI to be âresponsible enoughâ in how they operate and maintain these tools. The software engineer also hopes consumers would be educated on AI so that they wonât be fooled by promises made by these companies, adding that there should be more AI programs in universities.
âThe field of AI is very hot. So I hope there are many people from the next generation [who know] how to navigate that field,â he said.

DOT, TPB launch official Philippine travel app
![ph travel level app ph travel level app](https://beta.tourism.gov.ph/wp-content/themes/department-of-tourism-child/assets/news-and-updatebanner.jpg)
Manila, Philippines – The Department of Tourism (DOT) and the Tourism Promotions Board (TPB) Philippines launched Travel Philippines, the countryâs official travel companion, today, 30 October 2020. The app provides users access to the latest travel advisories and safety guidelines in various destinations that have reopened to tourism. The easy-to-use platform allows users to create itineraries for their future trips, find up-to-date information on their favorite tourist attractions, and securely store digital copies of travel documents.
âAs we continue to reopen the countryâs tourism destinations, Travel Philippines timely serves as every touristâs official guide to safe and fun travel,â said DOT Secretary Bernadette Romulo-Puyat. âWith the ever-changing needs and challenges in travel brought about by the pandemic, Travel Philippines will help both domestic and international tourists have safer and more memorable travel experiences amid our ânew normalâ,â added the tourism chief.
DOT and TPB developed Travel Philippines in partnership with inclusion tech venture builder HIMO Global Inc. / Talino Venture Labs. âUnlike other travel companions, we created the go-to companion for the traveler in the new normal, prioritizing ease in access to the latest safety information about their favorite destinations,â said Winston Damarillo, CEO of HIMO Global Inc./ Talino Venture Labs.
Within Travel Philippines is an extensive database of various destinations and attractions that are reopening after the COVID-19 community quarantines. At launch, Travel Philippines features six major tourist destinations: Palawan, Boracay, Bohol, Baguio, Ilocos Norte, and Metro Manila.
The App will be regularly updated with the latest information on these six locations as well as more travel destinations around the Philippines. On top of the basic travel information about these destinations, Travel Philippines will also contain the latest health and safety protocols being implemented within these locations, sourced directly from their local tourism offices.
Travel Philippines also features a built-in itinerary maker that integrates with its extensive catalogue of tourist attractions, local restaurants, and accommodation establishments. Users can bookmark any of the locations they read about within the platform and plan out their trips based on their preferences. Tourists can also upload into their personal Travel Philippines account, digital copies of pertinent documents such as boarding passes, hotel reservations, and medical certificates. Through its encrypted platform, the app will offer users a go-to folder for all of their documents and forms, which they will be able to access even if their device does not have an Internet connection.
âTravel Philippines marks DOTâs continued push to breathe new life into the severely affected tourism industry by promoting safe and responsible travel. We look forward to seeing both domestic and international tourists use Travel Philippines in their future trips,â concluded Romulo-Puyat.

Tried the Philippine travel level app? Let Leni Robredo outdo you
![ph travel level app Images: Leni Robredo](https://cdn.coconuts.co/coconuts/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Leni-Robredo-travel-app.jpg)
You may have been seeing images of a Philippine map in various colors on your feed. Thatâs thanks to a now-viral web app called My Philippines Travel Map, allowing users to track the provinces they have been to.
The map assigns scores or âlevelsâ depending on whether theyâve stayed in a particular area for a long time, spent a night, or even passed through.
Even former Vice President Leni Robredo got in on the action, as she posted her own results to her supportersâ delight.
The former VP earned a score of Level 315, revealing that she has visited every province in the Philippines.
The app defines âvisitedâ as having spent hours exploring the area but did not spend the night.
Robredo only identified two areas as having lived there: Camarines Sur, which is where Naga City, her hometown, is geographically located; and Metro Manila.
To refresh oneâs memory: Robredo was noteworthy for launching a âpeopleâs campaignâ for the May 2022 presidential election, and became the only presidential candidate of that season to have visited all provinces in the Philippines.
The ex-VPâs post sent followers on a nostalgia trip.
âWe have a winner,â one wrote.
âYou also live in our hearts, maâam,â another commented.
âThe busiest Vice President in our history! The lack of funds did not stop you from serving your people. Your resourcefulness, innovativeness, positive outlook and goal oriented mindset pushed you to do the unimaginable. Thank you so much for continuing to uplift the lives of ordinary Filipinos,â one follower wrote.
Robredo founded the Angat Buhay Foundation after her term as Vice President expired, which continued the programs spearheaded under the Office of the Vice President.
