The Barangay Councilors League of the Philippines (BCLP) held the 1st Leg of the Sangguniang Barangay Members Summit on July 17–18, 2025, at Hotel Linda Suites, Vigan City.

Vigan City Mayor Randy Singson warmly welcomed the participants from various provinces across the country, emphasizing the importance of barangays as the foundation of governance.

In his message, Mayor Randy Singson acknowledged that barangays are not only the frontlines of public service, but also the voice of communities. He highlighted the summit’s theme on creating Socially Protective Barangays as aligned with the City Government of Vigan’s own vision of inclusive and responsive governance.
