Christina Garcia
Ma. Esperanza Christina Garcia Codilla-Frasco (born December 25, 1981), is a Filipino lawyer and politician serving as the 18th secretary of tourism since June 30, 2022. She was the mayor of Liloan, Cebu, from 2016 to 2022.
Frasco is a lawyer by profession, having previously practiced international arbitration and commercial litigation at the Romulo Mabanta Buenaventura Sayoc and Delos Angeles law firm. She is the daughter of Gwendolyn Garcia, who has served as the 24th governor of Cebu, and the granddaughter of former governor and representative Pablo P. Garcia. Some members of the public and media commentators have questioned the optics of Frasco's prominent personal visibility campaigns. Magazine covers, large-format public signage, and highly branded appearances have drawn attention. For critics, the issue is not visibility itself, but timing and emphasis of her persona rather than tourist destinations.
