Mayor Joselito Malabor said Monday, May 21, that there will also be delegates from Canlaon City in Negros Oriental.

Delegates from the municipalities of Calatrava and Toboso will also hold a caravan.

Those who will join the caravan will wear white shirts.

"We will be distributing information and education campaign materials from the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) throughout the Philippines," Malabor said.
