Tourism chief blasts solons’ ‘dubious timing’
Tourism Secretary Christina Garcia Frasco questioned the timing of criticisms from two lawmakers, suggesting a possible link to her husband's recent declaration of independence from the House majority bloc.
La Union 1st District Representative Paolo Ortega V and Tingog Party-list Representative Jude Acidre had previously criticized the Department of Tourism for perceived underperformance in boosting foreign tourist arrivals, revenues, and workforce generation.
Frasco pointed out that her husband, Cong. Duke Frasco, declared his independent stance in the House of Representatives just a day before the criticisms were aired.
The Department of Tourism is proposing a P3.1 billion budget for 2026, with P500 million earmarked for branding and promotional activities.
