Tourism chief denies corruption in ad deal

TOURISM Secretary Wanda Tulfo-Teo broke her silence on Monday on the controversy surrounding her office’s placement of an advertisement on her brothers’ television show on government-run PTV 4, debunking allegations of corruption and incompetence.

“I don’t think this is incomptence on my part. As a secretary of Tourism, ang dami kong ginagawa. Hindi lang ito ang dapat kong tingnan at tuunan ng pansin. Wala na kong pakialam kung ilalagay nila sa kapatid ko (I am doing lots of things. This isn’t the only issue that deserves my attention, there are others. It’s none of my business if the ad is placed with my brother),” Teo said during a news briefing at the Department of Tourism (DoT) office in Makati.
