ILOILO — The Iloilo provincial government has rolled out P183 million worth of tourism, infrastructure, and disaster-preparedness projects for local government units (LGUs) as part of a broader strategy to institutionalize community-based tourism across the province.
"Iloilo being a pilot province in integrated development, the provincial government has requested every municipality to prepare a municipal profile. Among the first of the forty-six towns to submit the manuscript of its "municipal profile" was Pavia. I thought the work was good enough, until I read Miss Guia C. Villaprudente's PAVIA, ILOILO: YESTERDAY, TODAY, AND TOMORROW.
This is a comprehensive study of life in Pavia which include history, people, geography, language, beliefs, practices, folkways, etc. This is the kind of work that should be encouraged, nay, required of all municipalities and provinces in the country."
This is an official history profile of the Municipality per Sangguniang Bayan Resolution No. 2006-53 dated
April 19, 2006. This includes musical scores and poetry related to the Municipality.
