SOME local government units (LGUs) in Cebu have started using their own promotional videos to advertise their delicacies and travel destinations under the Department of Tourism's (DOT) "Love the Philippines" slogan.
On Monday, July 10, Cebu Governor Gwendolyn Garcia advised all mayors in the province to utilize the slogan to draw more tourists to their places.
The motto has so far been used on the social media pages of Toledo City and the municipalities of Badian, Bantayan, Daanbantayan, Minglanilla, and Tuburan, and it has drawn varied reactions from netizens, including the department’s controversial promotional video.
Last Monday, mayors, congressmen, board members and other officials in Cebu attended the launching of a Tourist Rest Area in Medellin town, northern Cebu, where they showed their support to Tourism Secretary Christina Garcia-Frasco.(ANV, TPT)
