Taylor Kitsch Asks by Philippine Government to Correct Wrong Information Given About the Country


Taylor Kitsch, the lead star of sci-fi action movie "John Carter" was asked by Philippine government to correct his statement about the Philippines and its airport official whom he claimed gave him a rough treatment during his entry to the country.

While the Philippines is trying to strengthens its drive to attract tourist and redeem its pride tarnished by reports of several kidnappings, severe traffic, crime, corruption and the ageing Manila international airport, the Hollywood actor somehow made it even worst by telling his alleged unpleasant experienced with a custom official when he arrived for the filming of his upcoming film "Savages" with John Travolta and Uma Thurman.

Kitsch claimed that an airport customs officer threatened to send him back to Japan, his port of origin, because his passport had run out of pages. He also alleged the unidentified officer demanded that he be given an iPhone in exchange of his entry. And that he only allowed entry after he showed the officer a clips of his "John Carter" movie proving he is indeed a known Hollywood actor.

Bureau of Customs commissioner Ruffy Biazon immediately asked for investigation and later found out that Kitsch was actually referring to Indonesia and not the Philippines as he said during his interview on the Late Show with David Letterman.

"I feel confident that Mr. Kitsch was mistaken in saying that his bad experience during his travel was in the Philippines," Biazon said. Adding, "Unfortunately, the damage was done.... In the meantime, Mr. Kitsch, perhaps you can help us redeem our lost pride."
