Albay 2nd District Rep. Joey Salceda called out the DOT for failing to include the Mayon Volcano in the country’s latest marketing campaign, adding that the agency has failed Albay residents who look forward to earning from tourism. | GabrielLaluINQ

“I express this frustration because tourism is disproportionately more crucial in Albay, and Bicol at large. This is how thousands of Albayano families make a living. It would not have cost much to include just a scene of Mayon, but it would have meant the world to Albay families relying on tourism for their bread and butter,” he added.

“We credit this partly to how we were proportionately featured in promotional material over the same period by the National Government. Mayon deserves better than a pixel in the logo where you need strained eyes to see it. Mayon has been a national symbol and a national treasure ,” he added. “We have the only international airport in South Luzon: Bicol International Airport, which this government calls ‘the most scenic international gateway in the country’. It would have helped improve the government’s value-for-money for BIA to promote Mayon and Albay,” he said.
