The Urban Poor Federation of the City of Iloilo declares its support for the lloilo Convention
Center project and the hosting of our city of the 2015 APEC
Summit.
‘The marginalized sector of our country has long been suffering, their prayers and pleas for
help unanswered by what used to be an apathetic and unresponsive government. Through the
efforts of our Ilonggo leaders in the national government, most notably Iloilo City’s Franklin M.
Drilon, the Honorable President of the Philippine Senate, the national government has now
turned its attention to the needs of the poor in Iloilo City.
Great economic progress in cities throughout the world have been achieved and sustained
through sound economic policy and the construction of sufficient infrastructure to meet the
demands of the growing citizenries of the metropolitan centers of the world. In Iloilo City, the
construction of the floilo Convention Center and of numerous other major infrastructure
projects have increased the confidence of our members on the ability of our city and of our
The improvement of our economic conditions is mutually dependent with that of the
development of lloilo City. We could not improve our financial condition if oilo City will
stagnate. Accordingly, lloilo City could not become a premier city if we, the poor, would not
be granted the opportunity to improve our social standing and living conditions. The hosting
of the APEC Ministerial Summit and the construction of the lloilo Convention Center are signs
that both the national and local governments are fully committed to enhancing the economicconditions of lloilo City and of all of its sons and daughters: We therefore declare our support
for the lloilo APEC Ministerial Summit and for the Hloilo Convention Center,
