Explore ILOILO

My friends and I decided to have a break from graduate school. 

This time, en route to Western Visayas. 

After going through our bucket list, majority of us chose to explore Iloilo. From there, we booked a flight going to Iloilo airport and the adventure begun.

Away from the busy streets and hectic environment of Manila, Iloilo offers a serene spot for relaxation and leisure activities. This province is once a center of commerce and trade during the Spanish colonization. Being a colony of a foreign nation influence the province's geographical structures. 

As tourists, we can't miss the historical and religious landmarks of Iloilo.

Reminisce peyups days at UP Iloilo.

Third Goal: Divulge to breathtaking views and other historical sites

Fourth Goal: Feed ourselves with Ilonggo food. 

Savor Ilonggo cuisine.

Fresh sea foods at its finest. Don't miss food trip at Ilonngo style. Try Tatoy's Restaurant and Breakthrough. 

SUPER sulit and happy tummy. 

Believe me. You'll never go hungry when you're in Iloilo.

Of course, we have to try the authentic La Paz Batchoy.

This Iloilo escapade is really a vacation to remember. I would really recommend this place to those who wish to explore any province from Visayas. The place, the people, and the food itself is enough to make you feel like home. 

We indeed discover Iloilo’s secrets — from the warm islands up north to the cold highlands down south. Discover the joy of a province full of historical sites, tropical beaches, and natural wonders. #itsmorefuninthePhilippines
