The Department of Tourism said Tuesday it was considering tapping girl group BINI as the country's tourism ambassadors.
Tourism Secretary Dita Angara-Mathay told reporters they plan to talk to the "Pantropiko" hitmakers, who recently made history as the first all-Filipino act to perform at Coachella.
"We're going to talk to them. 'Di pa sila sumasagot because they are traveling," Angara-Mathay said.
"But we are so proud that they unfurled the [Philippine] flag at Coachella," she added.
Angara-Mathay said the department always puts "value in our talents to make a name for themselves and who are proud to wave our flag at the international stage."
Both the Senate and House of Representatives passed resolutions recognizing BINI's Coachella performance. — Report from Jervis Manahan, ABS-CBN News
