I’m from Iloilo but I’m currently staying in Manila. Always been a fan of your videos because it gives me a constant glimpse of my home especially when I miss it. Always enjoyed watching your videos and I’ll for sure be watching even when I ultimately come back to the City of Love ❤
ayaw mo na umuwe sa iloilo ?
The BPOs in Megaworld Business Park have mostly American and Canadian companies outsourcing their business there. Some are Comcast and Bell Canada receiving calls all the way from US and Canada. I worked there before.
amazing improvements in the downtown iloilo compared to the time when i used to visit the place many times in the late 80s.
Mas ma aamaze ka sa magiging improvements ng Bacolod kesa sa putot na Iloipot
@@johnpaolobas1036 thats good sana maging competitive din ang bacolod sa pagpapaganda ng lugar
Putot pero Kong wla mga taga Iloilo WALNG Bacolod ..Baka nakalimutan mo ang history U 😂😂😂@@johnpaolobas1036
Thank u for showing Iloilo City. I spent my 1st 24 yrs of my life there and now retired here in the US. Those differently colored buildings look soo pretty, looks like you are in Europe. It is definitely time for me to explore my birthplace. April 2024❤❤❤
You can do fishing in Iloilo river its free for everyone and you can bring home the fishes you catch .
Isn't that amazing!
Iloilo can catch up to cebu city in the near future i heard about the the sunset boulevard that is coming soon
Yes that's being built soon
Yeesssss…..amazingly livable Iloilo indeed🙌🏼
The Sunset Boulevard is being constructed now, 4.5kms , towards Oton, Metro Ilollo. It also will have wide redbrick-paved sidewalks with rows of trees and landscaping and, and will also have biking lanes. Also simultaneously under construction is the Dongon Creekside Esplanades and biking Lanes, 4.5kms,, connected to Esplanade 3, and will link Jaro District to the rest of the Esplanades. Bravo!
@@armandosune3839 see u next month dinagyang talonin nyu ang cebu please mayor jerry Treñas
Holy shit! Iloilo is so F**kin clean! Here in Bacolod its FILTHY!!! Bacolod is soooo behind compared to ur city
So much building going on, reminds me of Toronto. But, a thirty minute video with no Bianca, waaaaa.
Yep I agree….Nice watching you mike but we like to see bianca as well😂
What ann outstanding view of Iloilo City, Michael ! Definitly would love to visit there.
Much better ang Bacolod
Wow Iloilo has gone so much better and beautiful. I haven’t been home for 22 years! Thank you for showing us the city. ❤
bacolod much more beautiful than Iloipot
johnpaolobas. Please stop making negative comments and tagging such ridiculous name spelling for Iloilo. It doesn't do anything positive for Bacolod. In fact, you are making Bacolod look pathetic.
@@armandosune3839 Its not pathetic!! Bacolod is so beautifuuuuuuuuul
@@johnpaolobas1036 hahaha....Sige Ah...You are welcome to visit Iloilo City. Just enjoy your visit so that it will be fun. God bless!
@@johnpaolobas1036 kawawa ka naman brad nakakahiya ka hahaha hindi namin kilala bacolod san bayon hahaha kawawang nilalang hahaha
wow! This is the most detailed tour of the city...I like it! good to know you've also shown that KANSI or local bulalo - such a nice Carnivore restaurant only no rice for me. 🥩🍖
This time no city in Mindanao and Visayas can match this organized, clean and progressive city of Iloilo Kudos to its LGU officials and its people. From Eastern Visayas Region.
your mentality sounds more like wired to compete, rather than cooperate.
Thanks for the clarity regarding the bike restrictions there near One Spatial. So, as I thought and as you confirmed here in this helpful and fun video, no bikes are allowed on the stretch of Esplanade north of the river between Carpenter's Bridge and Diversion Bridge. Now I just gotta figure out how good or bad or even non-existent the sidewalks are up R. Mapa st and then right onto Dinato Pison Ave. which is the street route to get closer to Smallville and SM City areas. That will make all the difference in using a bike sometimes or always doing a rideshare that first month of February. I'm sure you're well aware of how outdated Google streetview and satellite view is for much of that city. For example, they began construction on those One Spatial condo buildings in 2017 and Google Satellite view still shows back when they were breaking ground there.
You are much appreciated for the info and the sights and sounds you continue to offer us!
Basically that stretch ther is only a little bit of sidewalk on the road in front on the condo heading up to Smallville. youll likely need to ride on the side of the street but only a small stretch
@@BiancaBeyond - Good to know. I'll just peddle much quicker to not slow the flow when there is any
traffic in the lane. It's only a short distance anyway.
By the way, I am a long-time friend of Howard's who you met about 5-6 weeks ago at Muelle Restaurant as he was scouting the city with plans to live there next Feb. He and his Filipina g/f will be there in a condo at One Spatial and doing some house-hunting after his lease ends in Cebu in January, as you know.
Plus, my older sister (she's in Austin, Tx and I am in Pensacola, Fl) who was so impressed by what she was seeing in numerous videos I sent her regarding these two Philippine cities, has decided to join me for the first two weeks and so we will also rent a condo there after spending our first five days in Cebu.
I'm sure we all will meet up with you both somewhere for dining - tabs on us, of course. :)
Blessings!!
I can’t believe that my hometown looks as beautiful as this now! The gastronomic hub , cleanest n greenest😊😮
I was there last March 15, 2023 at the Waterfront restaurant with my family for a birthday celebration 🎉 Oh boy, I was shocked at prices of the food. I paid 10k pesos for not a very fancy meal for the whole family. Mostly green salads and an Australian barramundi costs me 1k pesos. I was in a big shock when I saw the bill. It was just newly opened then and the toilet has no toilet paper
Can you imagine that for a very fancy restaurant? We were just paying for the river view but it was during the night too.
So very disappointed and will never eat there again. We could have gone to Breakthrough restaurant instead. They served quite a good seafoods spread for just a mere 5k pesos for a family of 10😍
Indeed! Too expensive yet the food was just so~so.
They have good meals but I can have some of them in less expensive restaurants around the city lol 😅 You really are just paying for good view
Well, rain helps to clean the air for dirty in the Philippines when the trees are more air 💨 to give people more breath.
Great..🤗
Those students. 😂😂😂
Whow whow whow..great view..🤗
I cannot recognized iloilo now, wow, is that place on other country?🤗
Great experience mike, great ride...🤗
Kansi..😋
Whaaaaaaaaa... It make me smile on that experiece of you here in iloilo. 😊☺😀😃
Indeed so Clean, Vibrant, stunning and beautiful Iloilo City ♥️♥️💯
My Heart Beats in Iloilo City ♥️♥️♥️
Thank you, Mike for this beautiful vlog
watching frm Calgary Alberta 🇨🇦...thank you for the tour around the city..i miss iloilo city...7 years ago it was very different...hope to go home for a vacation...God bless...❤❤❤
I'll have to try this when I get out there. I really like all the bike paths available and walking paths too.
Wow! That esplanade is stunning Mike..luv it...
hi Micheal you could show off the Go Hotels Iloilo @ robinson mall that a nice budget hotel
Mate..best Iloilo vid yet! What an awsome way to get around the place with..the city looks so flat? Get yourself a bike and a small trailer behind and do your grocery shopping that way 👍👍👍
I saw someone on Facebook pulls hi boat trailer with an electric scooter haha anything is possible
You got me hooked on Iloilo... I really want to go
Thank you very muchhhh for visiting our CITY OF LOVE ILOILO❤
Visiting diba dyan na cla nakatira sa iloilo mag asawa
It really is a beautiful part of the world
Iloilo City is definitely one of the best in the Philippines. I've been there many times over the years since my wife's family home is about half an hour away in a small town you've visited before.
For me the one main downside is the amount of rain in that area vs here in Central Luzon, but it's definitely a beautiful city.
They do get more Rian but less severe typhoons too
@@BiancaBeyond thats true.. the island , it does rain a lot but I love it coz it does not get too hot compared to Manila. Less susceptible to devastating typhoons too. laid back city life and beautiful countryside, I really love to go back there and retire
Bacolod more better
What's New in Iloilo: IMAX with laser @ SM City Iloilo is the first in the Visayas and Mindanao, the next level in movie going experience is now in the City of Love. Also soon to watch out for is the Landers Superstore in Megaworld's Iloilo Business Park. Iloilo is definitely a city to behold especially in the coming days. Rise up biblical Queen of the South!
We have a video recorded on the iMax (Canadian company afterall) but not edited and out yet. So many things coming to the city
There I was Vlogging at 8:42 haha. I thought that was you.
I was wondering if I would hear from whoever that was
I knew that person will see this video and point himself out.
@ThatPhilippinesLife hello!
Michael, Nate. Nate, Michael.
yeah that was @expatlifestyle2020
The beauty of Iloilo city in one video.
I think the real test should be how the downtown core is doing. I mean its a given fact that business districts are modern and clean. But how about the downtown core?
The downtown Iloilo building are heritage area so the city can’t take it down. They’re currently doing underground cabling in that area thou.Even the commercial billboard there was removed by the city because it is an eyesore to the calle real heritage zone.
Hey so I'm coming into iloilo from Jan 8-31 from Pittsburgh to apartment hunt. Maybe you'd be down to get drinks? Or maybe show me something cool in the area? haha
Make time for the Sinulog Festival in Cebu City on Jan 21, 2024
The ILOILO DINAGYANG FESTIVAL 2024 will be on the 3rd week of January. Voted by the Department of Tourism of the Philippines as the Best Tourism Event in the Philippines.
Hi Michael, I followed on google maps. Very informative. Spent extra time on Siquijor in Sept-October so didn’t make it to Iloilo. Next year I will start in Iloilo. Whistler opens this Thursday. Limited coverage to start season. Around 3 degrees in village.
Can I rent a motorbike in Iloilo for a month for 5000p?
Thanks,
John
You can rent to own a good one for P4k a month so I'm positive you could rent one for that price easy. Long as it's stays under 3° I think they can make snow in smaller ski resorts? But Whistler needs mother nature
Good they finally made a restaurant at back of esplanade
My uncle and aunty owns jades cargo iloilo over near circle inn iloilo
Where is my girlfriend, Bianca?
im from ,Marinduque,but would love to visit.I loilo when i go home,txs for sharing
This was a really nice way to tour around the city. Also, I never knew that place was open 24 hrs. That's good to know.
Great video. I was wondering what the electric powered options were available in the PI and now I know the name of a shop in iloilo! Here in San Diego, I have electric bikes and even a car (Tesla). Once you go electric, you'll never go back to an ICE engine!
Regarding the video, I've been watching you for awhile now, and I really like the format of this video as you have really spent some time showcasing the IloIlo City area. This was one of your more enjoyable videos!!
I survive here in Iloilo now for about 1.5 year soon and the Esplanades are is indeed fine-organized and clean.
Also the walking area besides the river. but I am located at Bernwood outside the center.
Take from out the city the COASTAL ROAD and your image will be completely different.... regarding CLEAN CITT or GOOD PLACE TO RETIRE.
Unless you like to be in the middle of trucks-containers-no beaches...stray dogs-annoying traffic etc. The Philippines are fine country + great people ! The structural/bureaucratic system SUCKS
@marcspace5144. You live in Bernwood Tower at Aurora Subdivision? It's just a short walk towards the Esplanades, particularly at Esplanade 4 via the San Agustin -Jalandoni Streets bridge at General Luna. And when you would have crossed the short colorful bridge at the clean scenic river, you will arrive right at Esplanade 3 where the Iloilo City GARDEN OF LOVE is located, and is a nice strolling and lounging area (it has outdoor sofa benches amongst the flowers and shrubbery). It is indeed a nice strolling area both at daytime and at nighttime when LED lights flood the garden plots.with illumination .
Coastal Road area is an industrial district connecting 3 big ports... It's where you will find large warehouses and container yards.. It's also the location of several coal fired power plants. Ano gusto mo ba makita? Siempre big trucks.
Only been there once and we loved it. Hoping to go back soon. 👍
EXCUSE ME MOST MODERN???? what the hell was that
In terms of urban planning, road system and organization.Iloilo city really is the most modern city
nice to see there are sidewalks for pedestrians. I find those new buildings are not particularly interesting. "pretty" but contrived to look European. I don't like slick modern architecture either. I prefer the older neighbourhoods.
hey guys, i noticed you're not wearing safety bike helmets! Not required there in Iloilo City?? Here in Baguio City, it's mandatory to wear one.
Hey, the guy who owns that rentals looks like Bianca 😁is that her brother?
Lol no she has no siblings
They could definitely pass as fraternal twins. Would be fun to get those two together in one of your future videos.
when are you going to try a pizza from iloilo
So Canadian, terrific.
My hometown, my pride!!
McDonald's Jaro and Atria branches are open 24/7. The Festive Walk branch is also used to operate 24/7 but it's currently undergoing renovation. FYI 😊
Maybe they just don't have grab after a certain time then, we would only be ordering that late.
Having a condo in the heart of iloilo city is not really a necessity. you can easily travel around the city, even if you are just commuting. I will be good if you just get a nice house and lot (within the metro, its easy to get those even today).
That's true
I would like to see him ride at 60 mph in Manila/Maynila!😅🤣😂
That Philippines life❤❣️❣️
nice 👍
Bacolod's Lacson street. Is more modern than Iloilo's only modern place, Festive walk by megaworld. They have Ayala mall, a nice casino, Landers and many US franchises. That still have not opened in Iloilo
Nice❤
That was a trip! :)
ang ganda ng iloilo ang linis
sa bacolod ang dumi lalo na sa gilid ng kalsada dmi bahay na luma
Very nice tour! But like you say don't drink and ride. You might spill it!
Accidents cause People! Lol
Yes!!!
can I get your first name pls I got your wife's name . Ely is my wife she is from Ginggoo City . Born and raise . We got married 2017 . And we live in Florida . If u 2 ever come here pls look us up . Joe and Ely
Michael and Bianca :)
Very cool
That's my town❤️😊
Your channel's CONTENT is really outstanding, Michael. The variety of topics you tackle is so helpful to everyone - residents, tourists, guests, businesses as well as public officials. Iloilo is fortunate to have you there!! ❤❤❤
Thank you really appreciate the supportive words 😊
Yes I agree, Salamat mike and bianca❤
The "cranes" you saw are called chinese egrets and are mirgratory birds.
Thank you!
We have one that likes to sit on cattle’s backs too. It is a member of heron family, like our egrets over here are too (member of heron fam). Ty M once again for gr8 tour. We always do this type of tour if possible in a new city. Does the rental place offer bike locks? Now I’m craving osso buco.
@@wintersojourn9356 unfortunately they only rent on Boracay they are just sales and service of Bikes and Scooters in Iloilo so yes the can sell locks but they do not rent here
Awesome tour 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽🫶🫶🫶
when are you going to eat at tatoys?
Wow. I didn’t expect scooters to run that fast. I used to underestimate electric vehicles
Same here!
That's very dangerous on the street here in europe is the cause more accident in the street . Rome
Crash helmets must be worn, too, for safety.
Thanks for sharing 😁 I'd love to visit Ilo-ilo one day..
👍✅🙀✅👍
Why do I find Michael to be the most handsome man on RUclips? Maybe it’s his beard. And he’s so intelligent
That bulalo is very, very high in cholesterol
That might clog ur artery sooner than later
Better eat something healthier!!!
Yea I mentioned it in the video, eat as a treat only
@@BiancaBeyond You eat everything that comes along as a treat, u r gonna hv a cardiac infarction
@@BiancaBeyond Good luck!!!
What is the name of that most expensive restaurant in Iloilo?
Waterfront (most expensive I've heard of so far)
Short term rental in Iloilo expensive?
Airbnb P1700-P2500 a night. Month to month condo at Atria is P30K plus a deposit usually of one month for potential damages.
It depends which part of iloilo you wanna rent. Better rent outside Iloilo city its cheaper and more laid back.
@@rosemendez931 very true even the more northern part of Jaro still in the city there is more available. Although I'm not sure about 1 week rentals
@@rosemendez931true and it's not that far
I saw you last time in the city. I wanted to take a picture of you but a little bit shy😂
Next time definitely say hi
Yeah, I agree, iloilo is one of the best cities in ph. Its esplanades are older than that of the pasig
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wow so beautiful.modernised like Italian roads,tiles??Bravo .kababayan
Wow that's awesome reminds me of Hawaii or Miami thanks for this post
nice placeI
Now you fight to fatten the walllet of MICs
I never know Iloiolo is nice clean green omgosh!!!
Glad that you lovely couple stayed in Iloilo city
Soon in two weeks will be DINAGYANG FESTIVAL❤❤❤
Thank you for the enjoyable tour!
Where's bianca?
On this day she was working on her cosplay or last fashion show video (still is working on it should be out soon)
Wonder if my electric LOPIFIT would be allowed on the esplanade?
It's a mix of a bike and a scooter seems fine from what I see online
Treadmill walking bicycle
Would be nice there
How’s the medical system over there does Ilo Ilo have a good hospital and doctors? What happens if you guys get sick where do you go? Does it have a modern hospital facility?
What's up with the lady just standing in the middle of the street at 15:41 into the video?🤨🤔. Is she trying to get pancaked?
Haha maybe because the street doesn't have a lot of vehicles passing by.
Yea there is basically no cars driving here
Thats gaisano, bridge i belive yeah seldom cars drive tru it
@@kabiebebe2332Good thing! Otherwise, it would be pancake time!!!😅🤣😂
@@checkthelogicno worries Mikes condo got insurance to feed a lady sho.mai To last a lifetime 😂😂😂
Any shops carry BMX cruiser bikes there?
Try the "Ground Effects shop" at the "Shops at the Atria" at the Ayala Park District on Diversion Road. Not sure though if they have it.
Perfect location for honing wheelies, freestyle BMX.Stay young and balanced!
Also a bike shop in Smallville too
new subs here
Wow I am from Iloilo and had not been home since I have migrated here in the US. And I know Francis when I was there.
Can the ebikes/escooters be rented? Planning to do the esplanade route as well using it :)
Looks like a well planned city. Is there and area like High Street South in BGC?
Yes it's called Festive Walk also owned by Megaworld
@@BiancaBeyond Thank you
nice ya isko!!!
❤❤❤
From Montreal Canada 🇨🇦 to Philippines 🇵🇭
Bacolod city much better
How? They dont even have proper road system there and bikelanes lol 😅. Streets also have trash everywhere. Negros province is beautiful but Bacolod is average only. Iloilo City is way better and nicer.
@@fionavillarica-kl5tx Putot Iloipot is at the level of Marawi, lowrise buildings why? Your city couldn't afford skyscrapers? Bacolod is much better because Megaworld will invest the tallest building in Bacolod that is 1 trillion times taller than the tallest building in putot Iloipot
wala yan sa bacokang ano ipagyabang niyo ?
Thanks for sharing our hometown ILOILO the clean city.. sweet city of love and heart of the phili. Iloilo.thanks so much I'm proud ilongo
21:23 in front of the bar used to be a go kart place but idk what happened
So beautiful, clean and relaxing
