Malacañang gave a less than categorical response when asked whether Tourism Secretary Wanda Tulfo-Teo still has the trust and confidence of President Rodrigo Duterte, following the P60-million tourism ad controversy. “Every Cabinet member, unless they are fired, enjoys the trust and confidence of the President,” Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said in a Palace briefing on Thursday. Roque’s response was far different from his categorical answer when asked to comment on calls for Foreign Affairs Secretary Alan Peter Cayetano to resign. Teo has repeatedly denied involvement in the release of the DOT commercials on her brother’s show. /eeREAD: Teo denies hand in PTV 4 ad deal: It’s a gov’t to gov’t contract
