I don't understand why some government run institutions/establishments prohibit filming in its premises? Isn't that like counter-productive? How else could you promote knowledge and newer visitors to the area when such things are prohibited? Well, I'm not in charge so it is what it is I guess but just saying....I'm an Iloilo native, born and raised to my teen years, I haven't even seen the inside of that prison when it was still active back in the day, but seeing the facade makes someone curious what's the big deal and for some future visitors to actually see a little snippet of its interior would want them to visit someday. Oh well.
Yeah, thanks for mentioning that because I thought the same thing. I did speak with someone who was staff and its just their policy. The inside of the prison museum does not look anything like a prison, just the outside. All the best to you and thanks for pointing that out Ed. You US Navy?
Safest place in the philippines. If you notice every block you will find men in uniforms. Glad to hear you appreciate our city. Best thing about iloilo is every road are connected and you have more options which way you want to go to avoid traffic.
During the Spanish era prominent families houses or mansions are circling the towns' plaza just like the molo mansion.Everywhere you go the different towns set up is like that in iloilo.
Salamat gid sa pagbisita sang amon ciudad sang gugma. Got hungry watching you eat at Tatoy's. Growing up we had to drive to Villa Beach to eat at Tatoy's. It was always a treat after a day at the beach.
Thank you for featuring my My City Iloilo I am born there and grow up but i left to work on another country its been a while that i didn't see my own City it brings me a beautiful memories on ky childhood while watching your blog thank you
Great video sir. I love your upbeat attitude and voice. Subed to see more, My father and I love to inspire and be inspired by other travelers. As park rangers with degrees in anthropology, we are drawn toward content with information on culture, historical sites, ecology and local food.

During the Spanish era, Ilonggos were very friendly to the Spanish government since many of the affluent people of Ilo- ilo and the Panay provinces were descendants of the affluent Spanish.
I will live in Iloilo someday, I am currently in Cebu now, it's frustrating here, people here have issues especially I am Negrense that prefer to speak Tagalog.
@@dasigkatama029 True. I went to Laoag once. When I tried to co-ride with an old lady on a tricycle, their chief means of transpo in Laoag, and there were not many, the lady asked me where I was from. I said I am a transported Ilonggo in Manila, she offered to pay for my ride. Wow! That gave me a good impression of Ilocanos, so kind and accommodating, not the kuripot Ilocano people say they are.

Iloilo is very nice and quiet and safe place.esp night u can walk free.people sweet friendly I love my hometown palanga KO kamo MGA ilongo enjoy staying our hometown...thank u for sharing Ur vedios watching from hongkong.
Looking at this video makes me say that Iloilo is at par or even more beautiful than many of the cities in Europe and the US or Asia. It's beautiful touring it in the daytime, and also, I believe, even more amazing touring it at night when all the lights are turned on in the bldgs, churches, schools, mansions, hotels, malls, and the parks and plazas, and by the riverside.
Did you know.Iloilo became the last capital of the Spanish colonial government in the Philippines after they have capitulated Manila to the Americans. On 5 October 1889, due to the economic development that was happening in Iloilo, the Queen Regent of Spain raised the status of the town into the Royal City. During the Commonwealth era, Iloilo was prosperous and was popularly known as "THE QUEEN CITY OF THE SOUTH",The title is a moniker of the previously bestowed decree... by the Queen Regent Maria Cristina of Spain in 1896: "La Muy Leal y Noble Ciudad de Iloilo". Iloilo was the second Spanish colonial center after Cebu in the Philippine Islands. It was founded in 1566 when the Spanish established a colony area between the towns of Ogtong (present-day Oton) and La Villa Rica de Arevalo. In the coming of the Americans also in the turn of the 20th century, institutions like Central Philippine University (the first Baptist and 2nd private American university in Asia and in the country); Jaro Evangelical Church (the first Baptist church in the country); Iloilo Mission Hospital (the first Protestant hospital in the country); and the Convention of Philippine Baptist Churches (the oldest Baptist organizational body in the Philippines); where established.
Iloilo City is the benchmark of the ideal "Philippine city": clean, people-friendly, best place to establish business/ to invest. Way, way better than Metro Manila.
I noticed there are not a lot of dogs running about in your videos. Does Iloilo control that issue and how about the nightly karaoke is that an issue? I just am looking for a little more quiet than Cebu and Dumaguete offer, thanks.
That's one thing about the Philippines and dogs; they're wild no matter where you go. There might be exceptions in some places, but I see them everywhere.
i have a girlfriend in iloilo and in the summer im going to stay with her :D do you have any tips for nice places? Im curious about the beautiful places over there. (Im from the netherlands by the way so i know nothing about the phillipine places)
@leams mcbride im from the netherlands as well..Today i was walking near central market and got kinda lost and went in very poor barangay pala pala or something.. i met many friendly people there and had a better time there interacting with the people than in posh smalville.. I LOVE THIS CITY AND HIS PEOPLE..
@@ThirstyTunaTaco Glad to hear that..Indeed, we Filipinos are naturally friendly/ welcoming especially to people who are visiting our place..Welcome to Our City Of L❤️VE..ENJOY AND BE SAFE

Sorry taga iloilo rin ako I love my city .pero ang kulang is police visibility.
The only men in uniforms I’ve ever seen is traffic management giving out tickets lol

I did notice that!
Not just Iloilo, but the entire Panay island. I was born and raised in Iloilo province. I see it all from the 70s to become a more urbanized city.
During the Spanish era prominent families houses or mansions are circling the towns' plaza just like the molo mansion.Everywhere you go the different towns set up is like that in iloilo.
Thank you for featuring our beloved "Iloilo City" more power to you sir and keep safe😊
Thanks, I appreciate that.
Iloilo city is a progressive city, peaceful and clean city all over the Philippines ❤️❤️❤️
It really is!
I suggest you tour the Iloilo River Esplanade in its entirety on a bicycle. Iloilo is also the bicycle capital of the Philippines...
That's a great idea 💡
I grew up in Iloilo City and I really missed it. I've been in the US for 8 years and I really want to go home someday.
Hopefully you'll get the chance to come back here.
So many changes for the better since your last presence in country. Not so much everywhere else though.
Thank you David for featuring this beautiful place, I'm begining to fall in love with this City.

Hey guys check out Iloilo Philippine Marine Museum they open last week. The building is located near city hall. I think the Postal building before.
I'll do that on my next visit.
In Iloilo, we Ilongos are warmth, humble, hospitable people, etc.as it should since it's the City of Love! How i missed the place and the foods😋😋😋
So true! The City of Love showed it to me. All the best to you Jomen.

Hi mate Fely vlogger kana din pala ngayon glad I came across with this channel.
I guess so, but she is the model! Doesn't do much for filming and editing 😆
@@TravelingTutor maybe it's not her time yet someday she will probably inherit your will😅
Iloilo is dubbed as the city of Museums. I think there are a dozen more museums just in city proper and in Jaro district sir🙏
There is a lot of them Litoy. Trying to balance everything out.
I will live in Iloilo someday, I am currently in Cebu now, it's frustrating here, people here have issues especially I am Negrense that prefer to speak Tagalog.

Thanks for sharing this information with me. I've heard similar things said by others so Iloilo City Proud!
Wow! Back when sugar was King, for Spain's Queen :)
Wow, that place gives me like a Latin-American vibe.. Really beautiful place.
It is a nice city to visit!
Iloilo City is the benchmark of the ideal "Philippine city": clean, people-friendly, best place to establish business/ to invest. Way, way better than Metro Manila.
I love this city and also my hometown of Bacolod.
I noticed there are not a lot of dogs running about in your videos. Does Iloilo control that issue and how about the nightly karaoke is that an issue? I just am looking for a little more quiet than Cebu and Dumaguete offer, thanks.

Molo Mansion needs a better landscape gardener.
And to be opened up to the public. I'm not gonna bash the gardener because I can't do that type of work.
