PNOY, DRILON INSPECT NEW ILOILO CONVENTION CENTER: President Benigno S. Aquino III and Senate President Franklin M. Drilon together inspect the P700-million Iloilo Convention Center (ICC) being built at the Iloilo Business Park in Mandurriao, Iloilo City on Friday, June 27, 2014. The 1.7 hectare, two-storey convention center, with a design based on Iloilo's iconic Dinagyang and Paraw festivals and a 3,700 person capacity, sees completion by the end of 2014. Drilon said that the ICC will position Iloilo as the prime convention destination in the Visayas: “This is a realization of the dream of the residents of Panay Island -- to have their own highly impressive and sophisticated convention center, capable of holding the best, and the most glamorous of the local conferences and exhibitions."
