DOT Secretary Christina Garcia Frasco stated in a news release that “despite the challenges and difficulties that our country faced, a pandemic, and the various calamities that come into our shores, the good news is that these have done nothing to break the Filipino spirit or to diminish the beauty of the Philippines.”
We have high hopes for our nation’s potential to become a tourist powerhouse in Asia based on the strength of our Filipino culture and the ideals of sustainability, adaptability, and global competitiveness.
