in her comfortable shoes: Gone for the weekend: ILO-ILO CITY

In its glory days, Iloilo City was called to be the Queen City of the South. It was the last Spanish-colonial capital of the Philippines when Manila surrendered to the United States of America. You’ll see remnants of its splendid past standing proudly amidst the bustling and chaotic streets of Iloilo today.

“I am Iloilo” is a statement that embodies what Iloilo is all about – its rich history and culture, heritage houses and mansions, majestic river, colorful festival, warm people, sumptuous cuisine, grand churches and breathtaking country side.
