Perhaps 'It's a lot more fun in the Philippines than some of this old pony' might work?

Spoilsports not letting people have a laugh watching the video

From the Rappler:

CEBU, Philippines – Cebu Governor Gwen Garcia rallied behind her daughter, Tourism Secretary Christina Frasco, amid the controversy surrounding the Department of Tourism’s (DOT) new slogan “Love the Philippines” and its tourism rebranding efforts.

Speaking at the inauguration ceremony of the Medellin tourist rest area project on Monday, July 10, Garcia expressed her dismay over witnessing the criticisms her daughter has faced in recent weeks.

“She has been unfairly criticized, bashed, and ridiculed for sins she did not commit, yet she stood her ground,” Garcia said in her speech.

The DOT faced online backlash after a blogger exposed the agency for featuring stock footage from other countries in the promotional video for the “Love the Philippines” campaign.
