Question on possible Shangri-La name change
We have heard from many but not all of you that you prefer the name Philippines Paradise Divers.
Initially we thought as a general courtesy to another board (whom has shown us discourtesy) that they created the name Philippine Paradise Divers.
That is why we just wanted to be different from what we thought was created by someone else who were not Pilipinos.
I have been reading up more and more on Philippine culture and history, and this is where I need your input because I suspect I may have been wrong about the other board creating that name.
Was Philippine Paradise Divers a creation of a board we won't mention since our board name is on their ban list, or is this something Pinoys and Pinays came up with independant of them?
If it is independant, and if so maybe someone can give me a little history, then we are inclined to give the name that may have been rightfully created by Pinoys and Pinays, not another board.
We very much want to give all the dear Pinoys and Pinay friends we've made here exactly what they want, after all, this Section is yours, and believe me, we pay attention to every suggestions you make!
My concern about the word "Paraiso" is it is a Tagalog word for Paradise, but the mission here is not to market the world class diving to Pinoys & Pinays, you already know that the P.I's are the best value in World Class diving, so should we really be using a Tagalog word that Americans may not figure out?
Your feedback is requested!
