Ok, Guimaras Island had already a budget approved. The political leaders of ILOILO-Guimaras need to start the Bridge Project that connects Iloilo-Guimaras. At least four lanes bridge. Indi na pagpadugayon pa! The same proposal sa karsada sang Guimaras, Four Lanes Road. Suguran dayon ang construction. I wish indi mangin “White Elephant” ang project proposals sa ILOILO-Guimaras. The “Crab Mentality” naton nga mga pinoy has to go! It’s time to CHANGE! Cheers! :)
Also the road all over Panay that connects all provinces. Panay Island needs Four Lanes Road to enter province to province or interconnecting roads, at least four lanes road with side walks to each sides, land scaping, and road markings. Kon gusto ninyo nga ma-attract ang mga foreigners, we have to comply these necessities. Cheers! :)
Basta ma-ayo ang karsada, trust me, foreigners will invest a business. Okay, Roads, Coal Power Plant, Drainage, Potable Water Lines, these are very important needs of the investors. I know these because I see these everyday here in the United States. Ang aton Colonial Mentality nga mga pinoy has to go! Cheers! :)
I am sorry IF I offend someone(s), but this is the way how I feel about ILOILO City and Province. Panay Island and Guimaras Island are my sweethearts, the reason why I want these islands to look good and nice for the tourists, for them to invest in order to help boast our economy. Remember, Panay Island is one of the Cash Cows in the whole Philippines, and Guimaras will be the next Cash Cow in the making. Glad we have NIA to be proud of, and the MEGAWORLD! The malls, restaurants, hotels in ILOILO City are awesome. I wish we have the beautiful parks in the city and province of Panay. Cheers! :)
BTW, the newly renovated bridge along Molo and Mandurriao is finished? The bridge needs four lanes. Molo and Manduarriao are the centers in the heart of the City of ILOILO. The reason why I say this because ILOILO city and the province are the centers in WV. Now Cheers mga kababayans. Please don’t get offended. Luv Yah! ;)
Dont worry we share same sentiments and projections. Hope all that will say something here will have a positive concerns and insights about our most beloved city and province of Iloilo..of course to Guimaras as well.
We are a regular visitor of iloilo for the past 3 dinagyangs now.Everytime we go to Iloilo we go to Cabatuan and eat chicken soup cooked in the banana leaf,sticky rice in the palm leaf, yellow mangoes and everydelicious food that we could just dream and be hungry about.The only thing that concerns us all is the peacefullness and security and how descipline the citizens of iloilo.In the western country we seldom use our vehicle horn honking.But we were all amazed when we stopped at the red light and someone honked on us like a freak train.We really admire iloilo and the people as well as the very best food in the planet.But we would just like to add these in comments that if there is a excellent security,safety,peacefullness and good descipline of every ilongo makes ililoilo a great place on earth,we are more than likely be excited to drag more whitefolk come,see and eat in intersting and goodhaven food only in ilolo.
