INDI magpinalagpat sang tacus. : )
replyLast but not the least. URBAN PLANNERS please abide the ZONING ORDINANCE! Thank You!!
replyManami pa gid siguro kung ang aton nga iloilo river ipadalumon kag pa gwapuhon….para pwede ma-agyan sang passenger ferry from the city down to molo - ina bala katulad sa Venice(?). Butang sila terminal station sa may mulle loney, sa may kilid gaisanao, sa may diversion bridge kag sa may carpenter’s bridge. This way, folks have better options either to take ferry or jeep to travel around. This would surely alleviate the worsening traffic around the city streets, shorten travel time while it brings excitement and comfort to the commuters.
replyI’ll be there this coming summer, and I’ll look around the city of ILOILO, and some of the provinces there. To see is to believe, just curios. I missed ILOILO for a decade now. Time to go back for a visit. Cheers! :)
replyAy a! Billions of pesos ang approved budget para sa mga karsada nga ini, OK. Good to hear this. Marc, I wish you take the pics of the “Finished Products” as soon as any of the roads will be done. TO SEE IS TO BELIEVE! Basi bala billions of pesos tapos ang hitsura indi parehas sa Subic, Clark kag Tarlac. Thank You! :)
replyLikewise the road from ILOILO to Sicogon. DPWH guys, once the proposals are approved then start the construction. We need four lanes highway interconnecting province to province. Konsa bagay ang aton nga kuarta nagakadto guid lang sa mga wala pulos nga mga bagay, nga-a indi abi pag-igasto sa mga proyekto?! Ang mga politicos keep on spending our tax money for NOTHING. Thank You!! :)
replyFour lanes road from ILOILO City to Carles to SICOGON. Thanks : )
replyThe Four Main necessities of the city and the province are the following..1). the ROAD..2). COAL POWER PLANT..3). DRAINAGE SYSTEM.. and 4). POTABLE WATER LINE..Cheers! :)
replyGuimaras is also in need of four lane road. The place is kicking now. Friends in Guimaras told me that Guimaras is one of the Golden Pots load of treasures. IF the Politicos will ignore the place, then maybe they are one the dummiest personas in the whole darn world. Cheers! :)
replyThe four lane road from ILOILO going to Carles to Sicogon Island must be accomplished ASAP! Kadako sang mga budget nga guin aprobahan para sa sini nga proyekto. PLEASE NO WHITE ELEPHANT,OK.. Gotta love ILOILO, and the WHOLE Panay Island, and Guimaras. Ari diri sa sini nga mga lugar ang Treasure Hunting, yanno what I mean?!, the CASH COWS, I wish the message will reach the attention of all the Politicos there. Cheers! :)
