>Iloilo</FONT></h1>
<p><FONT SIZE=5 FONT COLOR=#FE6F5E>In its glory days, Iloilo Cit
y was called the Queen City of the South. It was the last Spanish-colonial capit
al of the Philippines when Manila surrendered to the United States of America. Y
ou ll see remnants of its splendid past standing proudly amidst the bustling and c
haotic streets of Iloilo today.Iloilo is a province of the Philippines, located
in the center of the Philippine archipelago. The province comprises the southeas
tern part of Panay Island with island-province of Guimaras just across its coast
. The capital city of the province of Iloilo is the City of Iloilo, which is als
o one of the major urban centers in the Philippines
Iloilo has always been one of the country s most important provinces. Merchants fr
om China and India have long traded with the Ilonggos even before the Spaniards
came; evidences of this flourishing civilization are displayed in Museums and Pr
ivate Galleries.
Even during the Spanish and American colonial period, Iloilo still proved to be
an important trading post. Iloilo has a beautiful harbor with serene and calm wa
ters, safe for navigation because it is protected from the open sea by scenic Gu
imaras Island. This excellent port facility made Iloilo the center of trade at t
he turn of the century, with the whole world doing business in this port especia
lly during the heyday of the sugar industry. In fact, Iloilo was given the title
of Queen City of the South for being the Philippine s second city, after Manila.
Iloilo s rich heritage is showcased in multifarious festivals celebrated in the ci
ty and various towns of the province. Dubbed as the Province of Festivals , Iloilo
is proud of its nationally acclaimed Dinagyang Festival, together with smaller b
ut similarly riveting festivities in the province, blends the pagan and the Chri
stian in a street dance masquerade honoring Sto. Nino.
Iloilo is endowed with natural wonders. Highland attractions from the cascades a
nd waterfalls of the mountains of Iloilo to rice terraces and heights in its hin
derlands. Worth visiting are various islands and islets of Iloilo that abound wi
th white sand beaches and ornamented with tropical palms. Experience breezy fun
while on an island hopping getaway. Explorations in Iloilo s northern coast such a

s the myterious caves of Gigantes island and the sea charms of Sicogon and nearb
y islets, as well as the splendid silhouette of Pan de Azucar in Concepcion town
herald quaint stories and enchanting folklores.
Iloilo takes pride in being the Food basket and Rice Granary of the Region owing
to its fertile lands and seas that yield plentiful harvest. Rice is the major c
rop in the province of Iloilo. Fish and marine products are considered the main
source of livelihood in the southern and northern Iloilo. Tourists will find man
y restaurants offering a gastronomic treat of fresh sea foods and famous Ilonggo
dishes such as La Paz Batchoy, Chicken Inasal, and Pancit Molo.
Iloilo is a fast-growing modern city but has kept its old charm and unspoiled en
vironment. Today, Iloilo is a popular convention and meeting destination, with i
ts many first class accommodations and New Airport of International standards. T
ourists will find sprawling malls scattered across the city wherein they can rep
lenish supplies as well as their energies for the hectic sand-and-water environm
ent that are soon to follow. Hotels and restaurants abound; a world-class golf c
ourse is located just outside the city proper in Sta. Barbara.</FONT></p>
