QUEZON CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Quezon City Bureau) – Tourism Secretary Christina Garcia Frasco was the happiest person in the Batasang Pambansa (National Legislature) plenary hall on Monday.

Fresh from her family leave and the flak she and the Department of Tourism received due to the controversial rebranding, logo and promo video, “Love The Philippines,” Frasco was all smiles during and after President Bongbong Marcos’ State of the Nation Address.

The reason? Marcos “endorsed” her branding and mentioned the slogan “(they) Love The Philippines.”

Unknown to Frasco, the President was not referring to the tourism slogan but to the love and dedication many workers in his administration have shown in the past year.
