The 125th Semana sang Iloilo officially kicked off with a parade led by Gov. Arthur Defensor Jr., alongside Vice Governor Lee Ann Debuque, the Sangguniang Panlalawigan members, Provincial Administrator Raul Banias, and the dedicated workforce of the Iloilo provincial government.
This year’s milestone is anchored on the theme, “Iloilo@125: Pagsaulog sang Padayon nga Kauswagan, Kapag-un kag Kadalag-an.”
Governor Defensor said this event will serve as a platform to celebrate the gains of the provincial government as well as to showcase the rich culture of municipalities.
“Congratulations because we are celebrating our anniversary. Let us use this celebration to recognize our achievements. And we will do better. We will level up here in the province of Iloilo,” Defensor said.
The Semana sang Iloilo commemorates the establishment of the civil government in Iloilo Province on April 11, 1901.
