We have a forward thinking leader. Mayor Jerry Trenas has been dedicated to make Iloilo city and the province of Iloilo more liveable places in the country. Everyone comes together to improve the city. Saturday is a day dedicated for cleanup involving local officials and the community. ❤
Iloilo City was one of the early urbanised cities in the Philippines. In 1970s, there were cinemas, big hospitals, domestic airport built in 1930s and regional offices of government agencies and universities My mom graduated in Collegio de San Agustin in 1956 (now University of Saint Augustine/ Universidad de San Agustin.
I am originally from the province of Pampanga I wish, and I hope that the governor and the politicians Pampanga will get their act together and eradicate their corruption and incompetence and learn from the government of Ilo Ilo on how to improve pampanga Province
Iloilo is the place of drilon and meriam,,pampanga is the place of gloria and lapid,compare them,iloilo is another world because of the leaders improves properly and dedicated to their constituents,not to their pockets,,

@@armandosune3839 better write a book. Your comments are longer than singing pambansang awit and do not say anything right in reality, too much superlatives. I fall asleep in the middle😄
@@marlindagomez5766Ilonggos are known for their melodic, sweet accent when they talk. They are also very warm and inclusive people. But all these would make more sense if you visit the place.
Very nice and modern! I will visit for sure! Been all over the Philippines 19 times and moving to Cagayan De Oro City next year to open a Beach Resort! Can't wait to enjoy life in the Philippines! LET'S GO!!!
Dangerous city is Cagayan de Oro located in Mindanao. city in Mindanao are unpredictable Zamboanga seige, Marawi distroy by isis Davao was bomb.. Very dangerous
@@user-mz3cg3yn6j Youre entirely wrong. In fact, there are lots of foreigners living in Mindanao. There are foreigners who have roamed Mindanao by motorcycle alone and were impressed by the peace-loving Lumads, Muslims, and Christians I presume you havent been to Mindanao at all. Davao City is touted as one of the safest cities in the world. Cagayan de Oro is even more progressive than Iloilo in terms of per capita purchasing power, airport traffic, shipping traffic, and economic output.
Iloilo City is my kind of place. I wish the Philippine visa requirements did not include a huge bank deposit. Most expats live on a monthly income. We don't have large sums to deposit in foreign banks.
How progressive the place,it shows that politicians here are not corrupt,drilon ,meriam,are from this place,judge them,ok,hope other places in phil,will be like ilo2.
Ungka, flooding, cholera, high e.coli reading, burikat, lethargic investment etc drugs. Same as other cities inthe pinas. Pero if ilonggo talk about their place, the perfect city. Huwag lang magsinungaling. Tikal talaga ang nauna😅

@@ilowcoast air quality monitors operated by participating local gov't units in collaboration with individuals and local organizations. Those cities that did not have air quality monitors installed were non-participant observers and not active in the process of collecting data TOINKS.
it's like saying the MEGAWORLD development is the whole of Iloilo City. There are still outskirts of the city that is not really clean. It's like saying CEBU IT PARK is whole of Cebu when in fact there are still slums around it.
@@oddly4859 wow iloilo squatter capital of the phil, ang pangit tingnan tapos sinking ungka flyover if repaired would cost another P250m of taxpayer's money on top of P680m useless. Ungka flyover the symbol of iloilo's Tikalon ( hindi lahat)😄😄😄
Hehehe cg kamo away da,mas improve ang iloilo city compare sa bacolod city,during my college days 1978 to 1983 agustinian po ako na taga gensan may kasama kami sa bording house na taga bacolod,but kron i dont know na kay wala naman ko dra are nako sa gensan.
S-pass was scrapped, once you're in the Philippines already, you don't need s-pass to teavel. However, if you are from abroad, then you need to register your e-travel permit to enter Philippines.
ILOILO CITY's downtown area is called CALLE REAL, the Heritage District where heritage buildings dating back to the Spanish era (1800s) and American era (1900s) are left intact and cannot be demolished. Intelligent persons know that these heritage buildings are precious and are to be preserved. No tall or modern buildings are allowed here, just like in the great cities of Europe like Madrid, Paris, Vienna, Prague. Any person who says these places are stagnant reveals their ignorance of heritage laws.
@@abu3803 d madeny kasi totoo hahahaha. Taga manila ako pero mas gusto ko iloilo kesa cebu. Pra skin ung cebu ung queen city of squatter kadtulad dito sa manila. Daming hambog sa cebu smell of poverty
ang iloilo po ay meron 7 districts lapaz district molo district jaro district, manduriao,arevalo villa, lapuz district at saka ang centro nya ang old city proper, ang pinapakita lang sa video ay isang maliit na area o portion lang ng manduriao district at hindi yan ang buong iloilo
now i see why you say something bad about Mindanao and lift your city on a chair. That's too backward mentality for an Ilonggo like you. Cebu's culture is different. They have lots of Koreans and Japanese learning English and they eat on small carenderias and restos and that says how vibrant the culture in Cebu. Foreigners are filling lots of condos and other real properties in Cebu that's why Cebu is always growing. Ilonggos are overshadowing the other parts of Iloilo and shows the social media that the whole of Iloilo City is the Megaworld development which is just a small part of Iloilo.
@@arijari694 well said....two different attitudes. Ilonggos are self-centered and would put other regions down while Cebuanos are just humble walang tikal.
Yes,theres a difference bet. Ilonggo and Cebuano.Ilonggos trademark na nila pagka tikalon while cebuanos low profile lang.Iloilo megaworld lang ang maipagmalaki while Cebu andami too many to mention.
Sa inyo nga di.puedeng pasyalan. Walang mga sidewalk na safe lakaran. Maraming basura sa gilid gilid. Maraming sidewalk vendor nagtitinda ng medyas, cellphone cover, DVD, kakanin, piyaya, mais, bihon. Palaging may traffic jam. At ang mga bldg s sa downtown nyo, parang hindi napinturahan ng sampung taon. At palaging under repair mga daan nyo dyan.
@@ayesera9924 ILOILO CITY is not a small city. Its land area is only 78sq.kms but its commercial areas where the buildings are located are wider than other cities in Western Visayas or Mindanao, that is why, its total annual income is the highest among all the cities in Western Visayas and many of the cities in Mindanao. ILOILO CITY'S Annual income is higher than that of Bacolod's, and ILOILO'S total Bank deposits is higher than that of Bacolod's or Cagayan de Oro's. Even with a population that's only a little more than half of Cagayan de Oro's, still Ilonggos have a a higher deposit base compared to both Bacolod and Cagayan de Oro, and which means, people in ILOILO have a higher purchasing power.
@@jaspherdiaz7850 Hindi po maliit ang ILOILO CITY. Malaki po ang ILOILO CITY. Ang land area is 78sqkms. pero ang commercial areas na may mga bldngs ay malapad po. ILOILO CITY ang may pinakamalawak na commercial buildings sa Western Visayas. ILOILO CITY din ang may pinskamalaking annual income sa lahat ng mga Ciudad sa Western Visayas. ILOILO CITY din ang may pinakamalaking deposito sa mga bangko sa Western Visayas. Third largest sa buong Visayas at Mindanao ang total deposits sa mga bangko sa buong Visayas at Mindanao.
