It's More Fun In The Philippines Campaign Photo Taken in Thailand

The Department of Tourism is now being accused of copyright infringement for using Thailand photo in "It's more fun in the Philippines" promo article published in Singapore's The Staits Times on January 12.

Titled "Manila goes big on fun to draw tourists" where one of the photos with caption "Water gun. More fun in the Philippines" and cited as DOT as its owner was actually taken at Nagaraphirom Park, and the Royal Temple around the Rattanakosin Royal Square, Bangkok during the Songkran Festival in Bangkok last April 9, 2011. A clear indication of copyright faux pas committed by Philippines' Tourism agency.

Any thoughts from DOT?
