A month after Typhoon Frank: Iloilo back on track
It’s been over a month since Typhoon Frank hit Iloilo and the situation in Iloilo is starting to get back to normal. People are back to work and classes have begun, most of the streets and houses have been cleared up of mud, and construction activities have resumed.
The city proper appears fully recovered and bears no evidence of the worst typhoon in the city’s history. The dirt clouds hounding the streets of Mandurriao have cleared up and Smallville, Iloilo’s nightlife strip, has resumed full operations.
Jaro District, the worst affected by Typhoon Frank, unfortunately doesn’t share a similar fate. There’s still heaps of mud at the road sides releasing a bad odor and dirt clouds when dry. Hopefully, the families displaced by the storm have been given assistance by the relief efforts and are already standing on their own feet.
Generally, the city is in a good shape and people can visit or do business in Iloilo once again.

Iloilo can do it if everybody would be mindful of everything . It has to start in the family and in the baranggay up to the government .here in makati people now how to fight for their rights , if they think something is wrong they are bold enough to speak up and complain and do something . so they get good service and results . Corruption starts at home .
long live iloilo
its a wake up call to parents .long live iloilo .
hi, andar here, i just read your post. i like very much. agree to you, sir.
Bastante ang space sa bilog nga Isla Panay kon factorias ang paga-ipatindog. Madamo nga bakante nga lupa sa Isla Panay nga wala gani matamnan pa! BTW, calling the attention of United States and Canada to invest in the Philippines while the properties here are still available for business. Cheers! : )
Bapor guid ako sang recycling business. Truly, a good business in US and Canada. Tani ang US ma-invest man diri factory like fabric, clothing, and plastic kag-iship pakadto dira kag sa iban pa nga nasyon, parehas bala sa Mexico. Army uniform, doctor and nurses uniform kag iban pa. Kag ini pabor guid sa US kayman diri dolyar ang ila guina-bayad samtang dira sa aton peso. Of course medyo daku-daku guid man ang isueldo sa tawo eh! Kon ini matigayon DAKU ini nga bulig sa Pinoy kag sa pungsod Pinas. Hilabi na guid kon sa ILOILO nila i-invest ang mga factorias nga ini WOW! God bless ILOILO! Cheers! : )

salamat gd sang imo website kay diri gd kami pirmi makakuha sang updates about iloilo especially ang pag acquire sang megaworld sang mandurriao airport. peru sang nabatian namon nahanungod sang baha sa iloilo daw ano ka subo nga madamo gd nga mga businessess kag mga pumuloyo ang na affectohan. ang amigo ko may fast food business siling ya ang losses ya mga 4 million. kon tanawon naton indi mani naton sala, because i believe its a manmade calamity. Ang no 1 contributor pala siling nila sa global warming amo ang america kag canada kag iban pa. siling ang pleasure diri sang tawo sa rich country gali makatuga sang disaster sa pigado nga nasyon. just imagine isa ka tawo isa ka auto tapos makita ko diri 24/7 puno ang mga highways. bal an ang auto diri is a necessity kay ano abi kalayo sang mga ulubrahan. Tapos barato ang auto heheh. Ti siling namon baw ti kita lang pirmi ang kaluluoy sine. kay we are aiming for progress tapos amo pani natabo. sa akon party ti daw indi kaman ka balibag kon mga parinte or amigo nga ga pangayo sang bulig ti siempre catastropre siling indi ko anay mag kaon sang macdonals or sushi. just imagine ang mcdo tag almost 6 dollars ang meal. ti pila nana sa aton. tani kon kita nga mga ilonggo diri bala mag ara nga pag hugpong para maka bulig sang dako sa aton ciudad. nakita ko diri katahom sang mga dalan kag basurahan sa vancouver. puede mana naton ma obra dira. ang recycling business is a big business here. ang nakita ko diri nga kon may project like street lights or bus stop station or trash can or drainage sa vancouver. gina obra gd ya nila with QUALITY indi lang bast sub standard basta lang nga may project. tapos uniform ina tanan. ma obra mana naton mo. Good quality projects kay may mga resources gd kita. peru ga amat amat nami ang iloilo ah. salamat gd sang imo website. makabulig gd sa amon nga kahidlaw sa kasimanwa. salamat marco and Godbless you and the city of Ilolilo kag pangamuyuan taman ang aton mga leader, mayor,etc.
good to hear from you marcos after a long while! i hope that iloilo will learn from this disaster. i have a brother who is a policeman back there in Jaro who said that they could not help stranded flood victims because they lack equipment such as motorboats. experts warned that because of global warming, more powerful storms are to be expected, so hopefully our government and our people should take this warning seriously. but we filipinos have this fatalistic attitude towards everything. but i have hopes that this is changing especially among the ‘ulihing tubo’ generation.
as always, thank you marcos for this blog. it helps a lot of homesick ‘kasimanwas’ abroad.
iloilo is back on business!
