Tourism poster with the Banaue Rice Terraces in wrong province goes viral

A Department of Tourism poster promoting one of the Philippines’ most famous travel destinations has gone viral for all the wrong reasons.A billboard poster displayed at Terminal 4 of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport invited the public to visit the Banaue Rice Terraces in Benguet.But the world-renowned National Cultural Treasure is in the province of Ifugao.

“Pero bigla akong nagulat nang makita ko bakit Benguet?”, he added. Acabado sent the photo to Marlon Martin, the chief operating officer of Save the Ifugao Terraces Movement.“Nagpo-promote ng tourism. E baka may napunta na nga ng Benguet naghahanap ng Rice Terraces. Kawawa naman ang turista,” Martin said. To rectify the error, Martin in turn passed the photo to the regional director of Ifugao Tourism so the mistake could be reported to the main office of the Tourism Dept.
