00:00According to Phillips, millions were spent under the current THC administration, but the man on the ground rarely benefited, adding that the previous government is not to blame.
00:12The central government did not hold them back from the previous administration when they spent $25 million traveling all over the world doing crap.
00:20Because they said they were going to market tourism and they brought nothing back, not even a flight to sit under Brimac for tourism.
00:26The central government didn't hold them back when they were spending $12 million, $17 million each year for Tobago Day when they were taking their friends, their family and their people and them to market Tobago Day, which doesn't make sense because they have a Tobago Day in America with $12.70 million and then they still come to Tobago to have a Tobago week and they're spending over millions of dollars.
00:45Phillips warns the island's economy is crumbling with tourism, jobs and public services under strain. Opportunities for growth, he says, remain untapped.
00:56Tobago's economy under this last administration, Father Augustine, has depreciated its value itself to the fullest. Tourism is dead. There's no job, you're not going to get a job unless you're blue or unless you're kissing somebody's behind. And that's a fact. I'm not going to come here and sugarcoat anything to anybody.
01:16The UTP leader adds that political rivalry between the PNM and the TTP has overshadowed real issues affecting people, stressing it is time leaders focus on solutions and not posturing.
01:31It's a back and forth. Who's talking about? Who's here? Who gets makeup? Who doesn't? It's not about the issues of Trinidad and Tobago, especially the core issues. Tobago's core issue is this radar system. The lack of tourism, the lack of communication with the Prime Minister and the Fali Agustin.
