Happy New Year from Iloilo! Hope you enjoy this video taken during the 2015 New Year’s Eve countdown and fireworks show staged at the Iloilo River.

The night sky turned to a colorful spectacle of color and lights as Ilonggos welcomed the year of the wood sheep. 2014 was a particularly eventful year for Iloilo that was marked with a boom of construction activities all over the city. This year, many of these developments are already due for completion. Not to mention the commendable efforts being undertaken to restore the heritage buildings at Calle Real in Downtown Iloilo City.

Exciting times ahead, indeed!

Here are a few nightscape photos of the historic Iloilo Customs House and City Hall buildings on the last night of 2014.
