For our November cover shoot, we discover more about our new Tourism Secretary Berna Romulo-Puyat and why she’s worthy of the appointment
On the heels of Boracay’s re-opening and between attending budget hearings and completing daily tasks, it is delightfully surprising how Department of Tourism (DOT) Secretary Berna Romulo-Puyat managed to squeeze in over half a day for our cover shoot.
As we knew her time was golden, everyone was up and ready as early as 8am at the holding area inside Ayuntamiento de Manila in Intramuros. The DOT secretary came bare-faced, wearing a locally-made woven dress paired with her favourite wedged shoes. She was in high spirits and greeted everyone cheerfully before excitedly rummaging through the beautiful gowns sent by some of the most sought-after Filipino designers like Dennis Lustico, Cary Santiago, Patty Ang, and Len Cabili especially for our cover shoot.
