Around 150,000 local and foreign tourists are expected to attend this year's Sillag Poro Point Festival of Lights at the Poro Point Freeport Zone in La Union, the Poro Point Management Corporation (PPMC) said today.

Tourism in the province of La Union has grown throughout the years since the annual summer festival was launched in 2012 with just 4,000 attendees. Last year, Sillag attracted 131,000 attendees.

The term “Sillag” is named after the Ilocano word “sellag” which means moonbeam or illumination from the moon.

Launched in 2012, SILLAG Festival is a project of Poro Point Management Corporation (PPMC) in partnership with the Provincial Government of La Union. PPMC is a subsidiary of the Bases Conversion and Development Authority.

The Philippine government’s commitment to get things done when it comes to President Rodrigo Duterte’s “Build, Build, Build” infrastructure campaign has become a magnet to foreign investors, the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) said.
