Saan na kaya ang ship building na sinasabi nila at sa mapansin ko matagal nilang iniwan at pinbayaan din ang lugar nila mas grabi ang investment nila sa ibang lugar kisa sa iloilo. Sana ngayun at ngayun na ang panahon na balikan nila at bumawi rin sa kanilang lupang inumpisahan o tinubuan.At proud kasi ako pag ang mga mayayaman na mga residente ng lugar nila ay inuuna nila bago ang ibang mga lupalok ng pilipinas.Reply Goodluck saysJuly 10, 2009 at 2:29 amSmart and young Ilonggos are the future leaders that can twist the culture into western style, and we are rich in natural resources, so to speak :)Reply JO saysJuly 10, 2009 at 2:14 amNIA is the BEST airport in the Philippines, I guarantee that! The maintenance is the main action to preserve the airport. In regards to the international flight, NIA is the ONES that we can recommned. I am VERY proud of the airport. Maipagmamalaki natin ‘to! I wish and pray that JECA with the collaboration of the Palafox and Associates will help the architecs of the City Hall’s MasterPlan. Mabuhay ka ILOILO!Reply JO saysJuly 10, 2009 at 2:05 amI am very happy looking at the photos of Carpenter’s Bridge and Iloilo Boulevard that in a matter of time will be finished, thanks! What I am willing to see is the masterplan of Iloilo City Hall be published in this site. I like SPICE building of Saint Paul, looks like is kinda huge building. The most project that is nearly done is the Flood Control project, glad! Surely that the Diversion Road area is the booming CBD in ILOILO. ILOILO is beautiful once these infrastructures will continually rise in this area. Glad to know that Dong Sarabia,Jr is the DOT undersecretary. I wish the very best for him holding this position! Cheers!Reply marco saysJuly 4, 2009 at 11:34 amhow about job openings for ateneo de iloilo in tabucan?Reply Bob saysFebruary 28, 2009 at 11:44 amThe most important also is to start the International fligths ,because that is the vital key to invite or attract the various investors to invest sa Iloilo, tingnan nyo ang mga cities na may una na International Airport sila ang una din na umunlad, dapat ang mga Ilonggo o taga panay huwag ng pumunta ng manila o cebu ,malaki ang population ng panay more than 5 million kisa sa cebu na 3.5 million lang pag nagdemand yan at maraming mga pasahero sigurado mapipilitan ang mga airlines company namagbukasan sila diyan sa Iloilo? At alam ko Iloilo is one of the province of the philippines na may highest number of Overseas Filipino Workers(Worldwide), I believed kaya ng Iloilo eh sustain yan and the city and provincial government should work hard for that yan lang ang tanging susi para magumpisa na ang International fligths and more progress it can offer sa buong western visayas. I know very potential ang place nyo and it could really be the Next destination of our country. Kaya nyo yan ILOILO…………Reply Arnel saysFebruary 28, 2009 at 11:23 amI hope that Iloilo will continue this kind of developments basta magisa lang ang mga city officials at hindi magawayaway at huwag unahin ang personal interest katulad nong una na mga leader ng city? I know Iloilo is very potential for bussiness development kasi buong panay at western visayas diyan ang kalakalan and Iloilo is also nearly to become one of the National Center of Educations due to their numerous prominent and high standard 40 Colleges and 8 Universities, I encourage all Ilonggos to promote the potential of your place and invite more investors to come in your beloved city and I believed ILOILO can make it at hidi kayo mahuhuli, “SALE” the Name of ILOILO nationally and Internationally.Reply gabriel saysJanuary 30, 2009 at 6:29 pmwow! smallville is gettng great! cant wait to be in iloilo this march, what about new call centers? mahina pa rn? hehe, and the megaworld development? thanks!Reply
