Ligum Dulom 2026

Students, environmental stakeholders, private groups and government agencies gather once again to celebrate the annual Earth Hour movement. Every year, citizens from all over the world switch off their lights for one hour in a symbolic gesture for environmental awareness, energy conservation and global solidarity for nature.

This year’s gathering of eco-warriors happened once again at the Iloilo Provincial Capitol, last March 28, 2026. Initiated and facilitated by the Provincial Government Environment and Natural Resources Office – Province of Iloilo (PGENRO), this current iteration of the annual province-wide Ligum Dulom is now on its fourth straight year

Buyco, Jr., PENR Officer, PGNRO opened the event with his welcome message, with MIWD General Manger Mr. Alfredo Tayo, III, CESE also giving his message of support to all gathered, as did Ms. Bea Badiango-Melliza Corporate Affairs Dept.
