Cesar Montano gung-ho on film tourism plans

Despite the issues, which hounded his government post as chief operating officer of the Tourism Promotions Board (TPB) not too long ago, actor-turned-appointee Cesar Montano remains unfazed by the anonymous complaints about his leadership. Instead, he says he is all the more focused in bringing reforms to the sub-agency of the Department of Tourism (DOT) with his vision of making the country the “Film Capital” of the Asean region, and eventually the rest of the continent.

In a small huddle at his TPB office, Montano said it made sense to use his influence and expertise in the entertainment industry to open up this new opportunity in tourism.
