By BOY RYAN B. ZABAL

KALIBO, Aklan – Nine members of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan (SP) of Aklan are on a five-day Lakbay Aral (study-tour) in selected provinces in Luzon.
The study tour, which began on Monday and ends on September 22, is expected to provide opportunities for the local legislators to have a better understanding of local government administration, and appreciate the diverse culture of the provinces in Luzon.
Joining the study tour are SP members Daisy Briones, Santiago Regalado, Gerick Templonuevo, Ramon Gelito, Philippine Councilors League (PCL) Aklan president Franklin Quimpo, Pedro Garcia, Selywn Ibarreta, Liga ng mga Barangay president Ananias Solina and senior board member Stevens Fuentes.
The tour is an ongoing program of the national government to enable the local government officials and employees to learn insights from progressive towns or cities of the country.
SP Presiding Officer and Vice Gov. Ronquillo Tolentino earlier said the legislators would study and observe the culture, history, local government administration, agriculture, business and tourism of Luzon provinces such as the northern tourist destination of Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur and famous rocky island of Corregidor Island.
