Undoubtedly, the Western Visayas Tourism Assembly in Iloilo City is the most eye-catching story of Western Visayas. But there are other events and developments that tried to drown out its impact on visitors and dampen its prospective impact on the region.


Of course, nothing could have impacted more on the assembly’s participants from the various parts of Region VI and other areas of the country who joined the officials of provinces and component cities of Western Visayas for Monday’s opening ceremonies at the SM Center.

                    [Summary] => 



Undoubtedly, the Western Visayas Tourism Assembly in Iloilo City is the most eye-catching story of Western Visayas. But there are other events and developments that tried to drown out its impact on visitors and dampen its prospective impact on the region.


Of course, nothing could have impacted more on the assembly’s participants from the various parts of Region VI and other areas of the country who joined the officials of provinces and component cities of Western Visayas for Monday’s opening ceremonies at the SM Center.
