ILOILO City – This metropolis is developing fast, assessed the Philippine Councilors League (PCL), the reason why they chose the city as venue of its national conference.

Some 3,000 city and municipal councilors attended the 2nd Quarterly National Executive Officers –National Board Meeting and 5th Series of the Continuing Local Legislative Education Program (CLLEP) at Iloilo Convention Center from June 20 to 22.
