Greetings from Germany. Long live Iloilo, my hometown. Nice pictures. Maka-homesick man. Hope to see Iloilo next year.
Great Landmarks especially the old churches. Make more pictures like the normal people in Iloilo. The negative side also where people still live in poverty. Thanks.

I’ve just come from vacation in Miagao and I saw the influx of tourists, foriegn and local as well. It’s really impressive that miagao with its clean environment and peaceful surroundings and most of all ,accommodating people of all sorts, are attracting these tourists. I don’t know exactly if it is getting some profit from tourism. I would rather invite investors to visit miagao and study the possibility of investing in hotels and commercial center where tourists can have easy access and comfort. Madamo gid nga salamat.

i so so love this place.thanks to this site.now i can update myself with the latest in iloilo…i miss iloilo so bad..hope to be home again soon..

iloilo palangga ko gid.. a very beautiful place near in my heart..im proud to say im belong in the city of malambing….

Hi,
what a glimpse of old birthplace. A big change since 2002 my last visit in the Phil., well wherever I am whatever part of the world I’m visiting I will never dare to forget my birthplace and more proud to be an Ilonggo still though I’m a German citizen now. Looking back the year 1992 it was really a big thing to say I was born in this place. Keep up your site and more power.

Iloilo the place to be!,, Iloilo d place nga gin tawhan ko,, d` place man nga pakamatyan ko,,

I Really love this picture!!manong photograher, is it true in an article that ILOILO is now called “THE PRINCESS CITY OF THE SOUTH”?? aside from being “THE CITY OF LOVE”?thanks!!!good day to all!!!

Thank You :)

Manang nurse, I guess anyone can just call Iloilo any title they want ;)

Ililo is the one of the historical place in the Philippines. . I’m proud of being ilongga.. dri gd q ya…

we generally speak hiligaynon, but surounding provinces speak karay-a.

I’m also a native of Iloilo City…specifically La Paz district..^^…and I’m proud to say nga “Ilonggo gid ako ya!”..^^

Hala Bira Iloilo!…^^

GOD BLESS YOU.

friend, have this song “banwang pinalangga” put in the website of exploreiloilo.its a very touching song..have the full song on imeem.com thanks!!!

Ang akon masiling simple lang. OK, Unahon ang pagpadaku sang dalan. Diversion Road DO NOT need flyover. ROAD WIDENING ang kinahanglan sang Diversion Road. That area right there has PLENTY OF SPACE, and also a sidewalk for both sides. STABLE ELECTRICITY, CLEAN TYPE COAL POWER PLANT asap! Then ENOUGH POTABLE WATER and DRAINAGE. Those improvements are needed para ang mga investors ma-encourage sa pag invest sa ciudad kag probinsiya sang ILOILO. Kon madamu negosyo sa ILOILO City and Province, madamu nga tawo ang mabuligan nga maka-obra, kag daku nga mga taxes ang makolekta sang bilog nga Isla Panay. Kon mahimo ang kuarta naton sa banko sa ILOILO indi guid anay ipahulam sa iban dira nga mga kaingud nga isla, kay ang ILOILO kag bilog nga PANAY nagakinahanglan sang IMPROVEMENTS. Palabihon anay naton ang aton iya nga developements sa bilog nga Isla Panay dispues ila sang iban dira. Thanks. That’s all I can say for now. Marc,Bernie and Pacific…thanks for the pics and happy Dingayang ‘08. Cheers! :)

Action speaks louder than words. Biskan nagahipos lang kita basta may TUPA ang pag paimprobar sang aton nga banwa, NICE! Btw, ang mga kuryente sa Calle Real daw sa pansit nga nagawagayway kon kita mag tulok sa langit. Wala guid ina sang sulosyon nga mapatadlong haw? I mean the wiring are crossing left and right along the roads, and AREN’T nice to look at. Guess what the wirings are DISTRUCTING the beauty of the Old Calle Real. Electrical wirings supposed to be in one line and with equal distance, not crossing left and right. OK. WE LOVE ILOILO, the reason why we are very much concern about it. Thank y’all.

Ari pa gali hu, ang aton dira nga kuarta para guid lang ina sa Islas Panay and Guimaras. Indi ina para ipahumlam sa mga kaingud nga mga islas. Please palihug lang OK. Thanks. :)

Nga-a ang Jaro Coliseum iya waay guina kuha-an ka Litrato kag i post diri? ang Candelaria Derby during the fiesta sang Jaro amo ang pinakadako nga Pintakasi kag longest running National derby since it started in 1966…ang bulangan sang Jaro is considered to be the sacred battle ground of Philippine cockfighting sa bilog nga Pilipinas…abi look into it kag kon mahimo palihog post diri…dungog naton ini nga mga Ilonggo so indi pag i bale wala! salamat nga madamo!

Hello Mr. Luigi,

covering the Jaro Derby is one of my goals next year, as you know, may limitations man ako. Thanks for the suggestion I hope I’ll be able to take pictures of it in February.

Madamo guid nga salamat! I will be in Iloilo this Jan. 2008 to attend this national Pintakasi….see you there…Our entry name would be DeerSprings of Southern California…madamo sa aton nga mga kauturan nga mga Fil-ams kag pati na sa mga yara sa Europe, Middle East, kag pinoy man nga yara sa iban pa nga bahin sang kalibutan nga maga pauli para lang mag attend sa sini nga national nga sambuwa….kami sa I.C.C.C kag Tribu Hiligaynon maga pakigbuylog sa pag celebrar sang Fiesta sang aton Nuestra Senora de La Candelaria sang Jaro…more power sa imo kag sa sini nga site…thank you for bringing Iloilo to our hearts…madamo guid nga salamat!

If somebody knows these people please contact me, e-mail me at freakupgal@yahoo.com, phone# 421-58-26, please help me i would really appreciate it….

Attention ang mga officiales sang ciudad kag banwa sang ILOILO. Kon puede i-reconstruct ang karsada halin sa Rizal Street pakadto sa Guimbal. Two lanes road is good enough for now, basta malapad kag may sidewaks in both sides. KADAKU sang guin approbahan nga budget para sa road widining and reconstruction, okie?! As what I said while ago nga “IPAIWAY ANAY ANG BULSA, UNAHON ANG PROYEKTO SANG BANWA. Ang mga tourista nagapanong pakado sa Isla Panay, Okie! Again, Thanks, and have a good day to all! I hope that “someone(s)” is/are not offended by these.

ILOILO City and Province, and the whole Panay needs “facelift”. Reconstruction of the old buildings and the churches are badly needed. The criss-cross electrical wirings need to be fixed. You know guys, ILOILO is beautiful “IF” we only participate and cooperate. There is a saying that we always hear from our parents and teachers that say “MAKE SENSE”. Kon ang aton nga banwa ma-maintenar MADAMU nga investors ang mapundar sang ila nga negosyo diri sa Panay, kag MADAMU nga mga tourista ang makadto diri. Kag DAKU nga mabulig sa bilog nga Isla PANAY. Kag MADAMU ang maka-obra. Cheers! :)

wow!!!! idol!!!! nway!!! i’ve seen ur interview dz morning at dikat barkada of sikat ka iloilo!!!!

nami daad kung kid-anon ang nga aragyan sa lilo.. biskan ang mga LGU lang ang matake-over.. kung nami lang daad ang mga karsada, tama katawhay ang paglagaw sa lilo. kabay lang ma improve man ang aton nga ciudad para nga raku man malagaw kag magbakasyon rigdya..

its been long years ive stayed in abroad since,its has a lot improvement in iloilo,kanami gid mgbalik da…

I was born at San Antonio Oton, Iloilo. Impressed guid ako sa pag usad sang ciudad naton. I left 1972 and back to visit my relatives at Janiuay, it was awesome. I showed the photos to my friends at mainland U.S. of A., manami guid kuno sang lugar ta, specially the town of Oton and looking forward para mag bakasyon dira liwat upod ang mga barkada kag pamilya ko. Ti…kita anay lang ta ya ah.

My husband and I went to Iloilo last January 2008. We were impressed by the hospitality of the locals. Dinagyang is a must to see for tourist and locals alike. One thing I would suggest though, your roads need fixing especially going to Passi. Educational program like put your garbage where it belongs should be implemented. Ditches should be cleaned by who ever is managing the local barrio. Dirty ditches means stagnant water, which means mosquitos, which means dinghe fever, etc. It also means flooding.

We hope to go back to Iloilo sometime in the future.

Mabuhay

Okay, Mabuhay ILOILO and Panay Island. ILO is soo beautiful airport in the whole Philippines. But one thing, the roads going to ILO need fixing baddddd! I mean from Iloilo-Pavia and Pavia-Sta. Barbara! And…..the RESTS of the streets! : /

magic story very thanks teenagedrinking =-(

A what I’ve said “Unahon ta anay ang mga proyekto nga approbahan na kag may budget na, kag obrahon sang HUSTO ang mga proyekto, wala anay kupit”, kag ari gali hu, ILOILO needs rehab since “Frank” wrath is still around the city and provinces. Thanks! : )

KADAKU sang mga donasyon sa bilog nga Panay Island from “Typhoon Frank”. Dapat ang mga donasyon nga ina matupa sa mga bitikma kag sa mga nagkalaguba nga mga infrastrakturas. INDI guid ina paghilabtan personal sang mga “Gutom nga mga LANGAW sa ibabaw” bala haw! Yanno what I mean?!! Cheers! : )

ILOILO is beautiful! The thing is ang donasyon sa Typhoon Frank victims nga bale 1 million sa DI-In nagkadto?? I read the TNT online news that the donation amounting to 1 million peses has been missing!!!! I want to know the answer.

I enjoyed the interesting photo’s. I am wondering wether there are many mosquito’s in the area in the warm summer months and if residents could use a safe herbal repellant to keep from getting bit. We have other formulations too such as for discouraging flu and common cold symptoms and thus making trips there more enjoyable in the cooler months. What about other viral pathologies like Malaria, Yellow Fever, HIV/AIDS? Are any prevalent there? How about monsoons and cyclones are they usual.

Many yet do not realize all such occurrences can be soon lessened to disappearing. Wouldn’t that be something, there!

Hi,
Anyway have the contact nos. of Rayman resort ?
tnx!

The contact details of resorts in Guimaras can be found here: http://www.exploreiloilo.com/travel-guide/guimaras-philippines/guimaras-resorts

It’s now 3,5 years since we left Iloilo. I’ve been there four times before my wife can come to live with me here in Canada.
I miss Iloilo a lot. We will go back for next january and we’re looking forward to be there, with the family in Guimaras.

I hope one day, we’ll go there for good to live happy for ever.

I am looking forward to visiting Iloilo as my wife is Illongo and
we are buying a lot there. I found out many interesting things
about Iloilo and would like to thank this website for the
information. THANK YOU

Mark, you and your wife are very welcome ! Yeah, ILOILO is a very nice place to live. But I will wait my retirement time then purchase me a house and a lot, but of course I will take a trip every six months to US. I love this website. Thanks Marc and Bernie, and the rests of SSC-Iloilo. Cheers!

BTW, Iloilo City doesn’t need another flyover. Iloilo City has an access road now unlike before. Flyover is just a waste of money and a distruction of greeneries along the highway that looks the city more attractive and beautiful. I think Mayor Jerry has to STOP this b******t! Save that money for another necessity project of the city, period!

…what we really need is to widen the road and put markings on it.

asd das
