Can I ask what kind of business you are involved in? And how can I also get involved?

Ayala is already in Iloilo, just a stone's throw away from the Esplanade. It's called Atria

Its a 3rd world dumpster. Average IQ is 80.. This guy looks very well fed. Pumpkin head..

Cebu Lahug or Iloilo as a long-term residence / hub for someone who is retired and frequently keeps exploring the Philippines on a big bike?

People makes the economy go round😊

You're right, it's a different place in comparison to other Philippine cities and that is even mentioned by a Spanish chronicler, Antonio Pigafetta during their first voyage, 500 years ago. He noticed it didnt have chieftains but just Datus and it is more egalitarian rather than hierarchical in comparison to Cebu and other islands. GDP, total bank deposts and college graduates PER CAPITA is the highest in the country. Big reason for that is the geography, it's mostly flat lands therefore there are inter mingling between far flung populace over thousand of years. Mountainous islands like Cebu you have "Balkanization" with every other side of the hill a little fiefdom of its own, hence, very little interaction with other parts of the island thereby creating enclaves and think they are the center of the universe. 85% of Bacolod or western part of Negros island can trace it's lineage back to Iloilo 50 to 150 years ago because of migration during sugar boom. Yes, exported sugar as far as Canada before it was a unified country. Davao is partly populated and created by Ilonggos too (migration during 50's), their 3rd language. Other major cities in Mindanao the first and 2nd language is Ilonggo too (Hiligaynon) such as Marbel and Gen San amongst others. Zamboanga city was mostly created by Ilonggos along with a contingent of Spaniard soldiers (Hint: Chavacano language) to reduce raiding pirates going further north. My wife is an Ilongga nurse so I should these stuff by heart. ruclips.net/video/1PTk5xPZ1Ww/видео.html

Is the internet reliable/fast there?

The Queen City of The South Iloilo City 🫅

Whatever you did to your eyebrows. Stop that.

I’ve been to Cebu . Traffic is very horrendous. Poverty is rampant. Slums outside of business parks.No traffic rules for the most part. It takes like 2hours to travel to a place when you can reach for 7 miles only.

Foreigner na yan nag blog kya di Tikal yan sa udong mahilig mag bash pag pinupuri ang iloilo.

IMHO, best way to help would be to establish low cost vocational trade schools. 3 to 6 months classes could change peoples life.

courtyard by marriot ? Thats a surpsrise to me ? I live in Taguig and I dont even see any Marriots around here.. I wonder if they have a good hospital there ? because smaller city maybe not as good as Cebu or Manilla

I love Iloilo, small city but enough for what people need.

I'm watching your video, and you just said Iloilo is a "stress-free" place to drive! Really? Hahaha, I tell people I'm an adrenalin junky who lives on the extreme. They ask me what I do, and I tell them I'm a professional driver in Iloilo. Mate, I freely acknowledge this is better than Manila but it's not quite stress-free. Have fun in Iloilo, it's the city of love and the best place in the Philippines. Cheers

You cannot compare the mega region of Manila, Cebu and even Davao to small city like Iloilo. As you can see less people which means just a small town. Its biggest investors are Megaworld, SM and Robinson's and San Miguel Corporation all are conglomerate based in Metro Manila. Even Bacolod is bigger than Iloilo. I would rather choose Baguio City if you wanted to chill, clean, cold and lively.

Maskara Festival is for Bacolod City. That 3D painting defects the Dinagyang Festival q 4th of January. Just google it so that you will know it's significant.

What you see in the video is just a small part of one district; the city has seven districts in total. If you're looking for a crowded area with a lot of people and traffic, that would be in the old downtown of Iloilo, as it is the city center. The area shown in the video is not the city center.

nice video

Looks deserted, where is everybody. I like a city full of people, events, activities and noise, crowd and traffic. Its clean an beautiful though, a great place to recharge froma city like Cebu and Manila. Definitely need more foreigners to help bring in more business $$$ to the economy.

Ilo ilo with small population you cant compare to Manila,Cebu,Davao with millions of population and economy size

I like these hotel tours and room

Welcome to the city of love sir!🙏❤️🇵🇭💪

Its because people from Davao are a bit more introverted. Its not that they're not friendly, they themselves are shy to talk/ to strike a conversation. Ive been living here for almost 3 years now and that's what I observed.

Not just Iloilo theres a lot of province is safe

Looks like a nice place. Great roads that’s something Cebu never learned. But, I’m in a love affair with Cebu. Cebu has always been reciprocal to me. Enough of that. That was a beautiful hotel. I always say to myself I’m going to treat myself when I travel but rarely do. I’m thinking how many more dividend paying stocks I can buy. Another great video. Like I said the hardest working man in show business.

Peaceful, Green and Beautiful destination. So Liveable City

Wow it looks so clean compared to other places in the philippines? 😊

It's the Dinagyang Festival. It happens every 4th weekend of January. Do come back to experience it in 2025!

What is that ORB at 6:25 minute mark above the tree line, it doesn't look like the moon..

S&R,new landers, Augusta development, another new mall name escapes me. Its a good place.

Iloilo city has a BGC that's why its improve a lot .

If i ever move to the Philippines, I think Iloilo will be my destination of choice!

Yes, there's a whole world outside the big cities in the Philippines. Believe it or not, smaller cities can be much better than congested areas like Cebu. That's exactly what I meant when you talked about Cebu and its best neighborhoods to live in: I wasn't convinced at all.

Iloilo City close to 490,000 population. That's allready large.

Since Oct 2024 Cebu City has apparently activated a 911 Emergency Hotline have a search for the article / info on sugbo.

Enjoy your stay more fun in the Philippines done whatcing subcribe following and like idol❤❤❤

My Ilonggo wife and I have a house in Iloilo, and I’ve been there 6 times. I haven’t been to a lot of cities in the Philippines, but of the 12 places I’ve visited, Iloilo is my favorite, and it’s changed so much since 2002 when I first went there. The Megaworld area in Mandurriao is fantastic.

Davao City is about 33x bigger than Iloilo City.. And you thought Iloilo City is NOT crowded.. but would you believed its probably has the highest population density among cities outside Metro Manila.. it has 5800 people / km². And im not including the people coming in to the city from nearby towns everyday that doubles its population during daytime.

Pointless video

This video is different than your others that are more sit and talk. As always you did a great job sharing your views and showing us some of the sights in a travel video format. It’s interesting that a city that has many western features doesn’t attract many foreigners.

John thanks for a GREAT video on a city that I am very interested in visiting also once I get settled in Cebu. How did you find the food costs ( at restos) and transportation costs ( taxis) compared to Cebu City?

They said iloilo is favourite of bpo cause low crime no traffic very organized and clean

I love Iloilo! Roberto’s is great place to eat

$100 for hotel? Is that a common price over there? Thought it would be cheaper

Yeah, Iloilo City, 499,754 people in 2024. I've ben enjoying your Cannnel from almost your beginning. Glad to hear your'e back in Cebu. Great seeing you and congrats on your 12K subs, John. Your high quality content has earned you those 12K. Take care, John.

Just maybe no foreigners because it looks boring there

It’s peaceful now, but when sex tourists and sexpats start going there it will no longer be peaceful. Pity the Philippines! We are being subjected to a silent invasion!

Beautiful! That's the place I'd like to live when I retire with the wiil of GOD. I hope soon.

One day i will make the trip there there a guys from California by the name of Mark that I met in Roxas that opened a golds gym there just recently in iloilo
