Hui further added that he intends to travel around the Philippines more, as his limited experience has only led him to Cebu, Palawan, and Cebu, so far.

“Hanggaang-hanga ako Ngayon sa bagong campaign ng Department of Tourism (DoT) – ang “Anak” – na nagpapahalaga sa konsepto ng pamilya,” he added.
As part of his mandate as the 17th Mr. Philippine Youth International, his itinerary is actually already full. He will be going around the country visiting a number of cities, provinces, and universities with Yes Pinoy Foundation ambassador and celebrity Dingdong Dantes.
