The Office of the Presidential Assistant for the Visayas, together with the governors of the different local government units (LGUs) of the Visayan Region, declare our full and unwavering support to the Department of Tourism’s (DOT’s) rebranding of the Philippine tourism campaign.
It is our firm belief that the DOT, under the leadership of Secretary Christina Garcia Frasco, poses no other interest than to bolster the tourism framework of the country despite the setbacks and adjustments that we, as a nation, unfortunately had to encounter during the pandemic. We are confident that as soon as this matter fades into insignificance, the superior intentions of the good Secretary and her commitment to developing and promoting the Philippines to the world will prevail.
The tourism industry has been one of the pillars of the Philippine economy. Our setbacks and impediments may have hindered our growth, however, the DOT’s agenda has been nothing more than to augment and elevate the losses in order to aid in the re-construction of our country’s tourism industry’s economy. We encourage everyone to be one in the mission and vision of the DOT—to be our beloved country’s envoy of goodwill, our country’s ambassadors of showing many integral ways of how and why we love the Philippines!
