MANILA, Philippines — The Department of Tourism (DOT) on Thursday said it would include the National Museum of the Philippines (NMP) in its tourism circuits.

Tourism Secretary Christina Frasco said this in a statement after affirming the DOT’s full support to the National Museum during the regular Board of Trustees (BoT) meeting held at the National Museum in Manila.

“I wish to thank all of you for what you have done to push forward the preservation of our heritage. My personal presence here today, I hope, signals my intention to give the full support of the Department of Tourism to the National Museum of the Philippines and to all of your projects nationwide,” said Frasco.

“I wanted the support to be tacitly manifested by my physical presence, and you can rest assured that I will be your ally in the Department of Tourism,” she added.
