The Department of Tourism (DOT) has assured the continued operations of Duty Free stores nationwide amid reports of its impending shutdown and lay off of hundreds of its employees due to plummeting sales brought by the COVID-19 pandemic.

“The dissolution or permanent cessation of operations of the DFPC are definitely not options on the table as we address the impact of global travel restrictions on our business performance. The continued employment of our workers remains a top priority,” said Tourism Secretary Bernadette Romulo-Puyat, who also chairs the DFPC Board of Directors.

A document obtained by the Manila Bulletin also showed that management had issued a memorandum dated May 29, ordering the eventual permanent closure of its provincial international airport outlets in Bacolod, Davao, Iloilo, Clark in Pampanga, and Kalibo in Aklan.The tourism chief had also sent a letter to DFPC’s Chief Operating Officer Vicente Angala Jr.
