03Controversy

The Commission on Audit (COA), in its audit findings, noted that there is a memorandum of agreement on file between the tourism department and the government-owned station requiring PTNI to air a 6-minute tourism advertisement section in PTVs Kilos Pronto, plus a 3-minute DOT spot within the program. This has been criticized, since at the time of the memorandum the Department of Tourism Secretary was Wanda Tulfo Teo sister of the hosts of the show.
