What’s 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 you’ve 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 you’re among the lucky ones who are able to travel the many parts of the country, then you’ll love this web app. 

Singapore-based Filipino software engineer Denz del Villar created a web app that can help you visualize the places you’ve been to in the country. Dubbed the My Philippines Travel Level, the software features the Philippine map divided into 83 provinces where users can “choose the appropriate level of travel.” 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.

“This is my first time dabbling with ReactJS, and I used ChatGPT heavily to help me with the project,” 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.

Open Source Software PH

Denz, a Filipino Open Source Developer, and How His App Became an Instant Viral Hit

Discover how Denz, a Filipino open-source developer, turned his idea into a viral hit with 'My Philippines Travel Level' app. Read about his journey and how OSSPH helped him achieve his goals.

OSSPH

A new interactive web app has been making rounds on social media and has caught the attention of travel enthusiasts and adventurers alike. My Philippines Travel Level has become a sensation among Filipinos, particularly those who love to travel and explore the beauty of their own country.

The app lets users shade the provinces they have visited on an interactive map of the Philippines and provides a "Travel Level" score based on how many provinces they have been to. Users can share their scores on social media, allowing friends and followers to see the places they've been to and inspire others to explore more of the Philippines. Since its launch on April 13, the app has gained immense popularity on social media, with Filipinos across the country sharing their maps and competing with friends to see who has visited more provinces.

How the My Philippines Travel Level Works

my philippines travel level map app

Using the My Philippines Travel Level Map is incredibly easy. Simply visit the website , click on a province, and choose the travel level that best describes your connection with that area. The travel levels are as follows:

  • 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.

Once you've finished selecting your travel levels, your travel level will be displayed in the upper right corner of the page. You can also save a copy of your map, which you can share on social media or keep for yourself.

How the My Philippines Travel Level was Created

My Philippines Travel Level web app was created by Denz del Villar, a Filipino software engineer based in Singapore. Denz got inspired by JapanEx , a similar program made for Japan, during his two-year stay in Japan. His desire to have an interactive travel map for the Philippines led him to start working on the project during a layover at the airport in Singapore, despite having no prior knowledge of web development. With the help of ChatGPT, Denz was able to create a graphics-intensive web app in just a few days using React.js.

While ChatGPT provided initial templates and guidance to get started, Denz had to customize and refine the codes to ensure the app worked seamlessly. My Philippines Travel Level Map was shared on Instagram Stories on April 12th and quickly gained popularity among Denz's friends who tested and shared it with others. It was also posted on the r/Philippines subreddit, where it received positive feedback from fellow Redditors.

The Success of My Philippines Travel Level App

My Philippines Travel Level app became an instant hit, gaining a massive following on social media in just a few days. Its success can be attributed to the support of notable personalities like Macoy Dubs , a Filipino content creator with over 1 million Facebook followers, and former Vice President Leni Robredo , who shared her personalized map. Brands also created their own versions of the map, using it for serious and humorous purposes.

The app's success shows how helpful open-source software can be. Denz shared the app's source code with everyone, allowing people to collaborate and create new ideas. This gave more people the chance to use technology. The many different versions of the app prove that open-source software can help people and communities create great things. My Philippines Travel Level app is a perfect example of how open-source software can create positive change in the world.

How ChatGPT helped software engineer create viral Philippine travel level map website

DENZ DEL VILLAR. Del Villar is the software engineer who created the viral My Philippines Travel Level app

MANILA, Philippines – As Filipinos are looking to start traveling again after years of pandemic restrictions, social media feeds go abuzz as users share maps of places they’ve 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 wasn’t able to start on it due to inexperience. 

“I think it started in 2019. I randomly saw this Japanese version of the map and I got interested…. I was amazed and thought ‘Hey, there should also be a Philippine version of this,’ but there wasn’t any available,” 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 – ChatGPT. 

“A lot of software engineers saw the potential of ChatGPT to guide them in building their projects,” 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

Denz’s journey with the website started with creating the Philippine map, using the entire ten hours of his initial layover to build this groundwork. 

“[The website] is graphics-heavy, you need the map first of all, and I didn’t 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 version…The website wasn’t live then as there were still many features that were missing” 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.

Denz shares that ChatGPT was able to give “pretty nice” 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.

“It’s like you search on Google how other people do it, but it’s 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,” he said. 

The AI chatbot also helped Denz with the basics of hosting a website such as getting a domain. 

“For 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. That’s what it took me [from] 2019 to until a few days ago to start as there wasn’t anyone who could help me or I could ask someone who knows about it, but I didn’t have time,” he added. 

Hallucinations

Despite its perks, Denz encountered problems with ChatGPT where the chatbot “hallucinated” 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.

“Apparently, 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 didn’t 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,” 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 “challenging” due to several factors such as having “currently no source of truth” in reinforcement learning training. 

Denz said that this problem shows that there are “dangers” in believing that ChatGPT can give entirely factual information as it can be “susceptible to disinformation.”

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, Denz’s 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. 

“It’s very impractical that if you’re in Japan, you would go to the Philippines to have a vacation since the [plane] tickets are expensive. It was much faster to do ‘domestic travel’ in Japan,” 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 “well-off” are not necessarily the most well-traveled in the Philippines. 

“I usually see that government workers, they’re the ones who go to a lot of places [since] the demand of their work requires them to travel to all of the provinces. They’re the high scorers, not necessarily casual travelers,” he said. 

Denz also clarified that he doesn’t 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. Let’s 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 “there really is more that the country can offer.” 

He also hopes that those who create AI products such as OpenAI to be “responsible enough” in how they operate and maintain these tools. The software engineer also hopes consumers would be educated on AI so that they won’t be fooled by promises made by these companies, adding that there should be more AI programs in universities. 

“The field of AI is very hot. So I hope there are many people from the next generation [who know] how to navigate that field,” he said.

This DIY map shows how well-traveled you are in the Philippines

my philippines travel level map app

A DIY Philippine travel map has effectively caught the internet's attention.

Created by software engineer Denz Del Villar, the website shows users how many places in the Philippines they've traveled to, stayed in, or lived in.

Personalities like Macoy Dub and even GMA journalists Kara David, Howie Severino, and Chino Gaston have checked it out.

"This simple web app helps you visualize how well-traveled you are in the Philippines," Denz said.

In an interview with GMA Integrated News, he revealed he had the idea to create this as early as 2019 when he saw a Japanese version of the map.

However, he "didn't really do web development," so it wasn't until he discovered ChatGPT, an AI chatbot launched in 2022, that he gave it a shot. He began working on it early April — during a 10-hour layover for a holiday trip, no less.

Denz's site went live this week, and quickly made rounds online.

"I feel very happy that people are eager to share how much of the Philippines they have — and haven’t — explored," he said. "I read people’s posts, tweets, and stories about their maps and I see amazing stories of how they’ve been to a lot of local destinations."

"It’s not always about holiday travel — many achieved high scores because of work. Whatever the reason is, everyone appreciates the time they spent in those provinces," he added.

He also invited his fellow Pinoys: "Let’s keep our wanderlust high and keep exploring domestic destinations." Personally, he's hoping to visit Palawan, Cebu, and Batanes soon!

Latest craze ngayon sa Pinoy netizens ang simpleng web app na My Philippines Travel Level.

Kaya naman ang Facebook feeds ay punung-puno ng posts na nagpapakita ng mapa ng Pilipinas, at ang bawat rehiyon ay may iba’t ibang kulay.

Sample of My Philippines Travel Level app

Ang proyektong ito ay na-develop ni Denz Del Villar, isang Filipino software engineer na kasalukuyang nakabase sa Singapore.

Ang purpose niya ay para ma-visualize ng users kung gaano karaming lugar na sa Pilipinas ang kanilang nalakbay.

Inspired ito sa Japan version, at nabuo niya gamit ang ReactJS, isang open-source JavaScript framework and library na na-develop ng Facebook.

Ginagamit ito sa pagbuo ng interactive-user interfaces and web applications nang mabilis at efficient gamit.

Paano gamitin ang My Philippines Travel Level app?

Ang Philippine map ay binubuo ng 83 Philippine provinces.

Ang gagawin lang ng user ay i-click ang probinsiya at i-shade ito choosing a color na ayon sa level, na base sa sumusunod:

  • Lived there – kung naglaan kayo ng malaking bahagi ng inyong buhay sa nasabing area.
  • Stayed there – kung natulog kayo sa nasabing area kahit isang gabi lang.
  • Visited there – nakapaglaan kayo ng ilang oras para ma-explore ang area.
  • Alighted there – kung nag-drop off lang kayo para sa sandaling stopover, layover, or transfer.
  • Passed there – napadaan lang kayo sa area pero hindi kayo bumaba o nakatuntong man lang.
  • Never been there – kailangan na ninyong bisitahin ang nasabing lugar.

Ang total score o "level" ay maa-update accordingly.

Maaaring i-save ang image o, better, i-screenshot, at i-share sa social media.

Mare-reset siya if you accidentally click a province, kasi, you will get redirected to Google. Ibig sabihin, mawawala ang mga naunang shadings.

Kaya iwasang ma-click ang probinsiya sa pop-up where you choose the level.

My Philippine Travel app

Ipinaliwanag ni Denz na technically, mayroon lang 82 probinsiya ang Pilipinas.

Ang Metro Manila ay isang administrative region.

Nabanggit din ni Denz na dahil siya ang nag-develop ng My Philippines Travel Level app, medyo diyahe siya dahil ang kanyang level ay 62.

Sa kaso ni former Vice President Leni Robredo, nasa level 315 siya.

Napuntahan na niya ang 83 provinces, "stayed" in 61 of them , visited 20, and she has lived in two.

Samantala, ibinahagi rin ni Denz na gumamit siya ng artificial-intelligence chatbot na chatGPT para mabuo ang proyekto.

Dagdag pa niya, “If you have any comments or if you want to contribute to this project, please do reach out.”

Tried the Philippine travel level app? Let Leni Robredo outdo you

Images: Leni Robredo

You may have been seeing images of a Philippine map in various colors on your feed. That’s 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 “levels” depending on whether they’ve 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 supporters’ delight.

The former VP earned a score of Level 315, revealing that she has visited every province in the Philippines.

The app defines “visited” 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 one’s memory: Robredo was noteworthy for launching a “people’s campaign” 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-VP’s post sent followers on a nostalgia trip.

“We have a winner,” one wrote.

“You also live in our hearts, ma’am,” another commented.

“The 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,” 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.
