ILIGAN CITY, Philippines – Organizers of the controversial Iligan Music Festival on Monday, September 19, announced they would proceed with the event this week despite a series of setbacks resulting from an uproar sparked by a sexual innuendo-loaded teaser posted on their social media page.

The Iligan Music Festival is scheduled to start on Thursday, September 22, at the city hall-owned Iligan City Wet Park, exactly a week ahead of the city-wide feast of Saint Michael the Archangel, the patron saint of the predominantly Catholic city. Iligan tourism chief Agnes Clerigo said organizers and participants have been prohibited from camping within the city hall-owned park.
