"Controversial Philippines tourism video sparks apology for using foreign footage"

Philippines advertising agency, DDB Philippines, has apologized for using footage from other countries in a promotional tourism video as part of the "Love the Philippines" campaign. The video included images of rice terraces in Indonesia, sand dunes in the UAE, and an aircraft landing in Switzerland. The agency acknowledged the "unfortunate oversight" and stated that the use of foreign stock footage was inappropriate and contradictory to the Department of Tourism's objectives. The video has been removed, and an investigation is underway.
