Nakatakdang baguhin ng Department of Tourism ang campaign slogan ng Pilipinas.

Ayon kay Tourism Sec. Christina Frasco, inaprubahan na ni Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos, Jr. ang National Tourism Development Plan para sa taong 2023 hanggang 2028.

Sa kasalukuyan, ginagamit ng Pilipinas ang campaign slogan na “It’s more fun in the Philippines.”

Gayunman, hindi na muna tinukoy ni Frasco ang bagong campaign slogan.

Binanggit niya na target ng pamahalaan na gawing tourism powerhouse ang Pilipinas.

Pinili ni President-elect Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. si Liloan Mayor Christina Frasco para mamuno sa Department of Tourism (DOT) sa ilalim ng kanyang administrasyon.

Si Frasco, na nagsilbi bilang campaign spokesperson ni Vice President-elect Sara Duterte-Carpio, ay nanalo naman sa kanyang re-election bid bilang Liloan mayor.

“She was awarded the prestigious Presidential Lingkod Bayan Regional Award by the Civil Service Commission in its 2021 search of outstanding government workers for her exemplary performance as a local chief executive through proactive initiatives towards innovation in governance and sustainable and inclusive programs fostering excellence in government service,” sabi ni incoming Press Secretary Trixie Cruz-Angeles sa isang press conference ngayong Lunes.

“She was a top-performing mayor in Central Visayas ranking number 1 among 116 mayors in the entire region 7 and ranking 1 among all 44 mayors in the province of Cebu,” ani pa Cruz-Angeles.

Si Frasco ay anak ni Cebu Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia, na siyang head ng ONE Cebu, ang pinakamalaking political coalition sa Pilipinas at itinuturing na most vote-rich province.

Nagbabala si Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte sa mga biyahero na nagpapakita ng pekeng negative COVID-19 test result lalo na sa mga tourist spots sa bansa.

Sa public address ni P-Duterte, inatasan niya ang Philippine National Police (PNP), Department of Tourism at mga local government units (LGUs) na arestuhin ang sinumang mamemeke ng COVID test result.

Saad ni P-Duterte, "'Wag ho ninyong gawin 'yan at makokompromiso kayo. Pati 'yung gastos ninyo. Kindly check twice over where you have genuine certificate.

"Arrest those presenting fake tests and enforce strict compliance of protocols of local tourist.”

Samantala, una nang sinabi ng PNP na ang sinumang mahuhuling namemeke ng COVID-19 test result ay pagmumultahin ng aabot sa P50,000 at pagkakakulong ng isa hanggang anim na buwan.
