Officials here are hoping that Congress will soon pass the cityhood bid of this capital town.
Municipal information officer Antonio Montereal said the proposed bill was already submitted to the House of Representatives sponsored by Isabela First District Rep. Rodolfo Albano Jr.
Montereal said town officials led by Mayor Jose Marie Diaz followed up the proposal last week at the Batasan office of Albano who told them that the bill is already on second reading at the House committee on local government.
Montereal said local officials are confident that the cityhood bid of Ilagan has a great chance of being passed in the plenary as all the requirements for its cityhood have been met like population and income. If approved, Ilagan will also become the second biggest city in the country in terms of land area next only to Davao City.
"Ilagan town officials are confident that the cityhood bid of Ilagan will soon be realized as it is already moved for second reading at the committee on local government", Montereal said.
