00:00An advertisement of the Department of Tourism went viral
00:03because of the wrong location of the famous Banaue Rice Terraces.
00:07Instead of being in Ifugao,
00:09it was written that it was located in Benguet, Hagdang-Hagdang, Palayan.
00:13The archaeologists who obtained the photos were dismayed by the mistake,
00:18especially since the Banaue Rice Terraces is a natural heritage site.
00:22The photos were sent to the regional director of Ifugao Tourism
00:26and were also reported to the main office of the Tourism Department.
00:30The advertisement was also removed.
00:33The Tourism Department has yet to issue a statement regarding this.
