Wanda Corazon Teshiba Tulfo-Teo (born November 4, 1952) is a Filipino stateswoman, serving as the current Secretary of the Philippines' Department of Tourism.
She was appointed by President Rodrigo Duterte to replace Ramon Jimenez Jr. in the secretaryship in June 30, 2016. Teo initially stated that she would change the present tourism slogan coined by her predecessor Jimenez, "It's More Fun in the Philippines", during her term, but she later decided to instead improve on it because of its positive effects that resulted in invaluable tourist arrivals in the Philippines.
Teo has been actively working in the tourism sector for more than two decades as a co-owner of a travel agency, Mt. Apo Travel and Tours, president of the National Association of Independent Travel Agencies (NAITAS). and a member of Davao Travel Agencies Association (DTAA), the Davao Association of Tour Operators (DATO) and the Davao Regional Tourism Council (DRTC).
Teo is the sister of prominent journalists Mon,Ben, Raffy and Erwin Tulfo. She obtained her BS degree in business administration from St. Theresa's College.
