Manami 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.

I’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! :)

Likewise 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!! :)

Guimaras 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! :)
