While the final site of the Iloilo City Hall has not been decided yet between the present site of the city hall in downtown or the acquired lot in Molo, the architect (WV Coscoluella and Associates) has already sent the perspectives for both sites to help city officials with their decision making.
The total cost of the project is projected to amount to P320M. Construction will start in 2007

why don’t you guys give chance to all the ilonggo architecture designer’s working abroad to share their ideas and talents in designing ..they design impressive design (buildings) abroad but in their own hometown “iloilo”, they feel pity because they can always see buildings designed by the same “OLD” traditional architects which is totally behind trends compare to what you can see abroad. we can say… our buildings in iloilo is build NEW “but” OLD already in aesthetic point of view…maybe you don’t know guys that mostly of the famous building structures in middle east (dubai), singapore, hongkong, china etc.. are already design by our “ilonggo” architecture students and architects who work abroad…
baw ti JUN, you explain na further what i mean…anyway, just an example..they claim a world class and sofisticated Building is the new provincial capitol but, see what happens now, gatulo ang mga kisame nila no..i don’t want to elaborate more..that’s the effect of the planning of our wise leaders there…they only interested in the budget but not in the implementation…no comment na pre jun..ikaw naman…
aykalaw-ay man na sang design nyu man! daw nag balik ta sa tiempo ni lolo..daw early sixties man ni ang design nyu..amo na ni ang mapabugal nyu ilonggo?
may ara da nga gabugtaw na subong peru waay pa ka bangun…mga NPA/CPP na sila..NPA-N-nahong P-puro A-agtang / CPP- C-calbo P-puro P-puro…
Nothing’s wrong with world class sophisticated and modern buildings. We need it , the more buildings, more work for our Kasimanwas. My only suggestion is that, why don’t we keep the old buildings specially the ones built in 18th and 19 century, restore it the way it was built before. Basta wla lng gtulo, kag wla buslot and walls kag kislap salog is more interesting. Where I live we have a place called OLD TOWN, Winchester. Most of the buildings were made in 19th century and a few in 18th century. Lots of people love to visit because of its historical value. Does any young generations of this days in the Philippines care about the historical value of a place, building or anything? Just asking and correct me if I am wrong. What can I say i like antique looking stuff . CIAO! Ga kaon pa man ko tangkong kag ginamos mo.
it’s only the place different with you iha from us here..say for example if you’re in new zealand hilamon na ang ginakaon mo? (like the baka’s there) you’re still a human who eats everything..habon lang siguro ang wala gina kaon sang tao…so what’s the big deal with the ginamos..bisan diin ka nga putok putokan sang kalibutan may ara na…sa winchester ka pa lang gani ka kadto kag nag pondo da . kadto ka singapore,hongkong,thailand or in every chinese resto in europe, middle east and U.S. ang kangkong to special pa nga menu sa ila to ho! gusto mo paka’ pa e…
I like the design, no problem with me. The design is a combination of modern and neo-classical art. What we need is at least 9 story building of City Hall. Cheers! : )
We don’t need to keep the old city hall building. That building is starting to fall apart and there’s no way that the city can restore it. It’s a waste of money if they do. Thanks that the present mayor decided to build a new one. When, it comes to “kupit”, ipa-iway anay ina. Unahon ta anay nga mahitso sang husto ang proyekto. Husto kag iksakto nga pag pundar sang building, or else basi bala after 10 years may litik na. That’s all for now. Cheers! : )
See the New Government Center of Bacolod City, OK, ang ila mga politicos “nagapamalandong” anay kay guina palabi guid ang husto nga pondasyon sang ila nga city hall building. We have TO DO the same thing, OK. Kon may sobra ang budget, ti kadto sa Roberto’s kag mag kaon pansit guisado. Thanks : )
This is the old designs, btw. There is a new design released.
When it comes to budget in building Iloilo’s city hall, mas daku ang aton iya nga budget incomparar sa Bacolod’s gov’t center. Kag nga-a daw sa diutay iya ang aton nga proposed building haw?!! Abi inang nagapadalagan sa masunod nga puesto INDI GUID paghilabtan inang kuarta nga para sa ATON nga city hall. Hoy!! mga kandidatos nga magapadalagan sa ma-abot nga election malu-oy man kamo sa aton nga ciudad!! Mga wala sang huya nga mga kandidatos dira hagan-hagana man ninyo ang KUPIT sa kuarta sang tawo!! Ang budget nga para sa City Hall INDI man ninyo pagkawata!!
Marc, please post the new design. Our kasimanwas here in the states want to see it. Thanks! :)
