MANILA: Philippine tourism officials were left red-faced after the creators of a video promoting the archipelago nation as a holiday destination said on Sunday they had used stock shots from other countries.
The country's tourism ministry announced late on Saturday that it was investigating allegations that DDB's video included"non-original shots". The video was later removed from its Facebook page. DDB apologised on Sunday for using"foreign stock footage", describing it as an"unfortunate oversight on our agency's part".
"In all these occasions, DDB repeatedly assured the DOT that the originality and ownership of all materials are in order," the ministry said. Videvo has the same aerial shot of sand dunes as the one used in the DDB ad but says the location was Cumbuco in northeastern Brazil.
