We could not be more grateful enough to the DoLE, the local government units, and all our partners in the private sector who have supported us in this important endeavor to bring back lost jobs and to present a multitude of new opportunities for employment and greener pastures in the tourism industry to our fellow Filipinos,” Tourism Secretary Christina Garcia-Frasco added.
