President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. appointed “seasoned public servant” Dita Angara-Mathay as the new secretary for the Department of Tourism (DoT) on Friday.
“Her appointment reflects the administration’s push to position tourism not only as a cultural showcase, but as a strong driver of jobs, businesses, and regional development,” the Presidential Communications Office (PCO) said in a statement.
Ms. Angara-Mathay previously worked as a Commercial Counselor at the Philippine Trade and Investment Center in Tokyo, where she led strategic partnerships with Japanese industries.
She also led programs linked to global opportunities that support enterprise development and expand opportunities for Filipino businesses, especially micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs).
