ILOILO CITY− In April 23, 2026, the Metro Iloilo-Guimaras Economic Development Council (MIGEDC) proudly welcomed the Iranun Development Council, established in 2002—an alliance of Parang, Matanog, Barira, and Buldon municipalities from the Bangsamoro region—in a landmark study tour designed to share Iloilo’s proven strategies for inclusive economic growth and sustainable development.

The IDC delegation was composed of Hon. Cahar P. Ibay, Municipal Mayor of Parang and IDC Chairperson; Hon. Zohria S. Bansil-Guro, Municipal Mayor of Matanog and IDC Vice Chairperson; Hon. Pahmia A. Manalao-Masurong, Municipal Mayor of Buldon; and Hon. Abdul Rauf D. Tomawis, Municipal Mayor of Barira.

IDC delegates toured the vibrant Iloilo City Terminal Market and Central Market, witnessing firsthand the success of public-private partnerships that have strengthened local commerce.

Later, a lively exchange of ideas took place at the Iloilo City Hall Penthouse Auditorium, where MIGEDC, represented by Ms. Fiebe Rosal of the MIGEDC-Program Management Office, shared insights on collaborative governance and economic models, after IDC shared their own structure, framework, and cultural background, as presented by IDC Executive Director, Mr. Saipona Zaman.

This engagement reflects MIGEDC’s commitment to promote regional cooperation and empowering neighboring communities through knowledge-sharing and collaboration. By opening its doors and sharing its experience, MIGEDC is helping to inspire transformative progress beyond its borders—building bridges for peace, prosperity, and sustainable development across the Philippines.
