Tourism Secretary Christina Frasco on Tuesday, June 3, promised to double efforts and create more innovative programs to boost Philippine tourism following her retention by President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.
Frasco is among the Cabinet secretaries whose courtesy resignations were rejected by the Chief Executive.
“It is a privilege to work under his visionary leadership and to contribute to the administration’s goals of revitalizing the tourism industry, creating jobs and promoting the Philippines as a top-of-mind destination,” she said in a statement.
“With this renewed commitment, I will continue to push for innovative programs to build gains for the industry and gainful livelihood for the Filipino people who rely on tourism,” she added.
The Department of Tourism (DOT), Frasco said, will promote destinations equally and ensure no place is left behind.
Frasco submitted her courtesy resignation on May 22 after Marcos announced a bold reset to recalibrate his Cabinet.PNA
