Iloilo city is a good start for any foreigner that is going to visit the Philippines because first of all the city is a UNESCO Gastronomy city, full of heritage places and it's a very walkable and safe city.
True. Very true of ILOILO. All that you said of ILOILO is true. You get to see a sane Philippine city that will cushion whatever bad things you will later see of the other Philippine cities.
True!! but I wish the ILO airport would really bring back its direct intl flights from singapore vice versa or hong kong thats an additional boost. We lost it during the pandemic. Hopefully by sept or oct this year.
I totally agree with the content of this video. I visited Ilo-ilo July 2024,my husband and I were so impressed by the city!!! The restaurants and food options, amazing! The esplanade and other public places like the plazas that are well-maintained, beautiful and enjoyed by many. And many trees and plants. It has culture and class!
@stevenrichards7902 it's much cleaner. The roads are better kept up and in most of the city the roads are 4 lanes. A lot less traffic. No matter what time of the day I can get anywhere in less than 10 minutes. A lot of decent sidewalks. I'm in a wheelchair so that matters to me lol. The Esplanade is nice. It's a very long 15km? Park/sidewalk along the river. Ahh and speaking of which the river is super clean. The whole city is clean as a matter of fact! This is a great place and the people are fantastic. Not a party town. So if that's what you are after, don't come here lol
Iloilo is a very beautiful city. I'm from western Visayas near Bacolod City, but my best friend use to live in Oton,Iloilo. He ran a medical mission there. I went to visit him in Iloilo in 2017. We went all over, from SM mall to smallville. Had a great time there. RIP Sir Larry. ❤️🇵🇭🇺🇲
@@GoWithShane Thank you. Yes we stayed at that hotel with the walking bridge across from the SM mall. We enjoyed our visit to Iloilo including the ride on the Fast Cat boat from Bacolod City. What impressed me the most about Iloilo, was how organized and clean the city was. Lot's of nice restaurants there too. 👍❤️🇵🇭
@@bartonpercival3216 💯 the city is more organized than any city in Metro Manila. And that hotel you're saying is the Injap Hotel, and I love its location...
@@GoWithShane Yes that's the place, I couldn't remember the name of the hotel as I was writing my comment. The Injap hotel was very nice and comfortable. We only travel to metro Manila maybe once every 2 years. Too much traffic and very crowded. But once in awhile we travel to Balanga city by Genesis bus lines to visit my girlfriends nieces and nephews. 👍🇵🇭🇺🇲
@@bartonpercival3216 Yes Metro Manila is too crowded and somehow chaotic... Balanga? You mean the one in Bataan? I love Bataan also, I always go visit the Dambana ng Kagitingan, Morong and Bagac over there. Soon I'm actually gonna go check out Camaya Coast Resort.
I just found this video and so glad I did. I've been considering an extended stay in Iloilo City. I sub'd and thumbs up. Thanks for the content. Keep it going! BTW, I like that you spoke in English. I much prefer getting my information from Filipinos but seems most vloggers don't speak English or their content isn't what I'm interested in. Thanks again!
Hello there, I'm glad that you liked my video. Thank you for the sub and I hope that some of my videos will be helpful to you too. Have a great vacation and take care
Great vlog thanks for coming and sharing the good historical landmarks of our city. Those are the richie rich places you went. There's of course some ghettos too but appreciate the local government to bring Iloilo back to its glory. Next time try to go to Fort San Pedro and Villa beach. It's free view and many restaurants too by the seaside. I'm no rich but I'll be honest there's many hacienderos and local businessmen in the city that made tons of fortunes from the Spanish and American coloneal eras. Many of the ancestral houses before were huge and open. Ours is not that big but it's a double story with open windows and freeflow of fresh air. My late parents sold it after moving back to the countryside to farm. Sad to say they never renovated and preserved it. It's all gone destroyed including the houses of my late aunts and uncles. They built the houses like American style. That roads at the side along injap and SM were once field with houses and huge communities. They removed it and open it for the roads and highways in front of it. If I'm the owner I would be pest. Some were huge ancestral houses that you can never see nowadays. I heard they only pay them cheap. That airport runway there part of it too was my grandparents farm. Until now we're still fighting for them to give us the right compensation. It's a pain but what can I say. Thanks for sharing your vlog and promoting our home sweet home.
I appreciate that you liked it and I also appreciate your story. It is sad that people got underpaid and some of the heritage houses got destroyed, I just wish that they tried to just move the heritage houses to a new location. Sometimes we really pay a hefty price for development, which is a sad reality
I was actually so surprised, it was so beautiful almost like Sakura. I bet a couple more years when the trees are older it will be much much more prettier 😉
I also enjoyed seeing you walking on the streets in festive. Also you can find solitude walking at 2-3am in esplanade if it is breezy that would be perfect.
Also if you love the sea or sitting with a bonfire along the seashore you can definitely go to the southern part of Iloilo where you can find resort and beaches.
My GF lives there, i plan on moving there in the future. TY for showing some nice places, good to get a feeling for the city :) U got my sub m8, keep up the good vids ^^
Thank you for the kind words, I'm glad that you enjoyed it. You're lucky to have a Ilona girlfriend, they say they can cook very well and are a sweet lover 😁
Layo teh. Pakainit dyan. Kakapunta ko lang nitong June teh kaya alam ko. Maliit din sya na city. Mabuti na lang nagkaroon ng project ang Megaworld kundi nko provincial ang atmosphere ng city na yan.
@@Palabok80 Ma init Yes, kasi nasa Pinas tayo? Have you been to Manila? nd ba ma init? Maliit na city yes, Cno ba nag sabi na malaki? Buti nag karoon ng project ang Megaworld? How about BGC mabuti nalang nag KAroon ng Project sa BGC ganern? Saan ba nag sisimula ang isang ciudad? Dapat ba malaki agad? By the way d lang Megworld my meron sa Iloilo.3rd safest cities rin pala yung Iloilo sa pinas. Pak ganern.
Natural mainit nasa pinas ka uy. Tska province nmn tlga ang iloilo proud tga province kami dto basta masarap food namin dto unesco city of gastronomy@@Palabok80
you skipped esplanade every morning theres a lot of ilonggo there having a zumba or jogging , btw im from jaro at tsaka po under construction lahat ng public market sa city expect to have a sidewalk vendor everywhere this time because i think they only allowed it so that the vendors can have a income while the market is under cons.
Oh, that explains the sidewalk vendors, thank you. About the esplanade, I will have a video about it soon, the esplanade was an awesome project by the Iloilo government.
Thank you and I'm glad that you liked it. I did not put any on the video its just my camera I think, and the audio I will be improving this as soon as I can😊. I appreciate your comment, take care
I actually saw some of these Old Spanish era houses and they are really beautiful. Hopefully, all of it will be reconstructed in the future. Iloilo is ♥️

Hello my friend, fortunately for me my Van driver was okay and did not break any speed limits hahaha. thank you for the information about the vendors, I appreciate it Video captions are auto by UA-cam, so maybe somtimes the AI dont understand me haha
I've never been to Marikit but people there especially my friends who already went there its actually creepy and if you go there at somewhere 3-5pm There's a chance that you'll see Marikit standing at the door or sitting somewhere that's what they say.
Oh man no way! Hahaha... thankfully Marikit never did that to me. But I got the feeling of peace when I was there, it made me think about the life they had at that time.
My friend the proper pronunciation is Haro, because the name is from spanish times and spanish read J as an H. But thank you for trying to correct me, I appreciate it po.
