Cagayan De Oro — Cagayan de Oro continues to cement its status as a premier convention capital in the region as it officially rolls out the red carpet for the landmark 30th National Convention of the Vice Mayors' League of the Philippines (VMLP). Bringing together hundreds of vice mayors, local legislators, and municipal governance leaders from across the archipelago, the high-profile gathering highlights crucial discussions on local legislation, administrative innovation, and regional development. As delegates converge in the City of Golden Friendship, the multi-day event emphasizes unity and cooperative progress among the country's local government units.
Advancing Digital Governance And Legislative Efficiency
A core focal point of this year's national convention centers on modernizing local legislative processes and aligning municipal bodies with progressive national frameworks. Sessions heavily spotlight vital directives such as the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Memorandum Circular encouraging local sanggunians to support the eLegis Reference System. By streamlining the submission of electronic copies for local legislative documents, participating vice mayors are championing transparent, paperless, and highly efficient governance across their respective hometowns.
Showcasing Northern Mindanao’s MICE Tourism Potential
Beyond the intensive legislative plenaries and workshops, hosting the massive delegation provides a brilliant platform to spotlight Cagayan de Oro's robust MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) tourism infrastructure. Visiting local officials are treated to the city’s renowned hospitality, diverse culinary scene, and strategic economic landscape, reinforcing how urban growth in Northern Mindanao directly supports nationwide tourism.

The dialogue generated during these sessions paves the way for stronger inter-local cooperation and innovative grassroots programs that directly uplift Filipino communities.
