Key discussions focus on institutional mechanisms for integrated river basin management, the importance of local community involvement, and the implementation of sustainable eco-tourism initiatives. By synthesizing technical data and stakeholder feedback, the proceedings provide strategic recommendations for policy alignment and long-term ecological preservation. Ultimately, the research highlights the Iloilo River as a vital urban asset and advocates for a multi-sectoral approach to ensure its environmental resilience and socio-economic contribution to the region.
