            <text>Around 12,000 barangay officials from various towns and cities across Iloilo province are set to gather at the Iloilo Sports Complex on Sept. 15 for the culminating event of this year’s Liga Month celebration, which began on Aug. 6.&#13;
&#13;
In preparation for the event, Liga ng mga Barangay President Amalia Victoria Debuque asked for public understanding regarding potential traffic congestion.&#13;
&#13;
“Since we are expecting 12,000 delegates, I ask for the public’s patience. There will be a heavy inflow of cars, and traffic is inevitable, but we’ve coordinated with Iloilo City officials to manage the situation,” Debuque said during a press conference on Sept. 11.&#13;
&#13;
Debuque noted that while Liga Day has traditionally been a one-day event, this year’s celebration has been extended to a full month.&#13;
&#13;
The culmination will feature various activities, including the main sports event, a special performance by the band Aegis, raffle draws, and the “Bida sa Liga” competition, among others.&#13;
&#13;
“This year’s theme is ‘Connecting Barangays in Shaping Tomorrow.’ As you can see in our activities, we are connecting barangays with one another. Once we are connected, it will be easier to achieve progress in our province,” Debuque emphasized.&#13;
&#13;
Notable attendees expected to join the event include Governor Arthur Defensor Jr., Iloilo 1st District Rep. Janette Garin, 2nd District Rep. Michael Gorriceta, 3rd District Rep. Lorenz Defensor, 4th District Rep. Ferjenel Biron, and 5th District Rep. Raul Tupas. National Liga President Jessica Dy, Las Piñas Congresswoman Camille Villar, Senator Francis Tolentino, Senator Imee Marcos, and DILG Secretary Benjamin Abalos Jr. are also expected to attend.&#13;
&#13;
House Speaker Martin Romualdez has yet to confirm his participation.</text>
