Aklan Legislators Off To Luzon For Lakbay Aral

By Boy Ryan Zabal

Nine members of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan (SP) of Aklan went on a five-day Lakbay Aral (study-tour) in selected provinces in Luzon. The study tour, began on Monday, September 18 and ended on September 22, provided opportunities for the local legislators to have a better understanding of local government administration, and appreciate the diverse culture of the provinces in Luzon.
The study tour was composed of SP members Daisy Briones, Santiago Regalado, Gerick Templonuevo, Ramon Gelito, Philippine Councilors League (PCL) Aklan president Franklin Quimpo, Pedro Garcia, Selwyn Ibarreta, Liga ng mga Barangay president Ananias Solina and senior board member Stevens Fuentes.
The tour is an ongoing program of the national government to enable the local government officials and employees to learn insights from progressive towns or cities of the country. SP Presiding Officer and Vice Gov. Ronquillo Tolentino earlier said the legislators would study and observe the culture, history, local government administration, agriculture, business and tourism of Luzon provinces such as the northern tourist destinations of Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur and famous rocky island of Corregidor. /MP mailto:madyaas_pen@yahoo.com
