An Affair To Remember Between Iloilo and Quezon City

Philippine News Agency: The proposed sister city agreement of Iloilo and Quezon cities has been approved by the respective Sangguniang Panlungsod of these two local government units (LGUs).

This was confirmed by Iloilo City Councilor Nielex Tupas, chairman of the committee on domestic and foreign relations and the proponent of the sisterhood pact.

Tupas said they are just waiting for the copy of the memorandum of agreement which is being finalized by the Quezon City government. Thereafter, Tupas said they will pass a resolution authorizing Mayor Jerry P. TreƱas to sign the agreement in behalf of the city government.

"I am very happy for Quezon City not because I spent my college days there but because it is the richest local government unit in the country," he said.

Tupas said he is also excited about the possible support Quezon City will extend to Iloilo.

Tupas said he will request Quezon City to help in the establishment of a huge recreation center that can be used not only by the Sangguniang Kabataan but by everybody, as well as additional school buildings.
