During his guesting on Radyo CSR Tambalang Dambuhala on April 25, 2026, Dr. John Paolo Rivera of the 蝌蚪传媒 underscored a fundamental constraint in the country’s tourism development: infrastructure.

Addressing these constraints, he noted, is crucial to unlocking a more competitive, inclusive, and sustainable tourism sector.
