Manila, Jan. 22 -- The Philippine Consulate General in Honolulu officially launched the 2025 Very Important Pinoy (VIP) Tour for tourists in the US who want to visit the Philippines.

The 2025 VIP Tour will take place from July 6 to 15 and will bring participants on curated tours to Manila, Laoag in Ilocos Norte, Vigan in Ilocos Sur, and Puerto Princesa in Palawan.
