Daily Guardian, Western Visayas’ most innovative media outfit, unveiled on Friday, October 20, 2023, historical markers in Iloilo City to commemorate 22 years of telling the Ilonggo story.

Seven markers spread across the metro were simultaneously revealed by Daily Guardian Publisher Lawrence Clark Fernandez, Vice-President External Lcid Crescent Fernandez, Iloilo City Mayor Jerry Treñas, Councilors Rudolph Ganzon and Johnny Young, Boy City Councilor Raphael Alejandro P. Vargas, and Girl City Councilor Chery Magdalane Silva in a ceremony held at Plaza Libertad in City Proper, Iloilo City.
