r/Iloilo

UPCAT passer here, BS Applied Math. Gusto ko gid magschool sa UP but my parents does not want to because of the NPA allegations😭. Now I actually do not know what to do becquse ila gusto is mag med field ako pero mas prefer ko gid ya ang math over science. And the fact nga waay di naga-offer sang math related courses diri samon town. Is UP really worth pursuing despite the red taggings?

Wala ko idea nga may 2 separate areas gali so ang una ko ginsudlan is ang market mismo.. Mga 12nn gd ni so jusko grabe ka iniittt. Nagsaka ko asta sa 3rd floor, daw palamuypoy pa ya lawas ko pag abot sa babaw kay sa ka init. Ending nanaog na lang ko liwat kag mag gwa. Tapos didto ko na discover nga may isa pa gd gali ka entrance tapos pag sulod grabe ka tugnaw ang aircon.

Daw nasubuan lang ko bala nga ang mga gagmay nga business didto ya ga antos sa grabe ka init tapos ang may kwarta ya didto sa aircon.

I mean gets ko man nga di pwede pa aircon ang wet market pero daw indi man ya makatarungan ang ila sitwasyon didto. Or OA lang gd ba ako???

To all the non-Ilonggo who move/visit here:

PLEASE mind your decibels! 😭😭

I can’t count how many times my family and I encounter non-Ilonggos who speak loudly in public places. I’m not saying that Ilonggos are not loud, but from my experiences, most of the people who create the most noise are not from Iloilo. Pro tip to remember: Ilonggos highly treasure their peace and quiet. So when you go to nice family restaurants, please remember that most people are there to have a nice little dinner with their love ones and not to listen to your loud gossip.

You can be as loud as you want in public spaces like Esplanade or parks, but pleaseeeee for the love of all that is good when it comes to shared spaces, keep in mind where you are and be considerate of others.

(Sorry gid 😭 Na-trigger lang ko kay damo nako na experience sa mga bus kag restaurants)

EDIT ‼️:

People of the Philippines, I did not mean to offend or trigger anybody 🙅 If I did, then I humbly apologize. This was just a gentle PSA for the people visiting our city. If this is how you react to a local online, what more pagid kung kadto-an kamo sang mal-am kag hambalan nga hipusa ang imo sunggad kay tam-an ka gahod? Bato-bato sa langit lang eh, no?

I did not say nga all Ilonggos are soft-spoken, in fact I said that Ilonggos can be loud as well (see: paragraph 1, sentence 2) I did not say that *all* non-Ilonggos are noisy, I said *most* of the noise comes from non-Ilonggos. While we understand that you are not from here and are simply unaware of our local social cues, we only ask for you guys to try and adjust to them to the best of your abilities. My experiences as well others’ in this thread is the reason why I made this post in the first place.

My main point is that, if you’re visiting or simply new here, it’s best to apply the proverb “When in Rome, do as the Romans do”. We’re not asking for you to be completely mute. We’re not asking for you to sacrifice your enjoyment for our comfortability. What we’re asking is that you respect our spaces as well.

Again, if I unknowingly offended you, I’m sorry. If you disagree, it’s alright I’ll take it. If you feel as if I’m wrong, help me and those who agree with me understand why so that ma widen man amon perspectives.

I truly didn’t mean for this to feel as if it was discriminatory against non-Ilonggos.

Peace be with you lang, guys✌️. Mothers’ Day subong. Go hug yo’ mommas 🤰

I'm from Austria and I'm planning a trip to the Philippines so I want to make friends there so if anyone is interested in talking to me let me know Have a good day ahead

Hi, I tried coaching sessions for this month and usually every weekends lang. And I've noticed na sa drills ok ako pero nung nag try ako mag rally walang kwenta na ako haha. Problem ko is every tennis sessions, may mga bagong pumapasok literal na beginners talaga from basics so bumabalik nanaman ako. Also ayoko din mag pa train na ako lang kasi one of my purpose bat ako nag join sa mga groups is para may kalaro na ko pag medj carry ko na mag laro talaga. Any recommendations or suggestions?

Ano ang pinakamalaking flex mo bilang taga-Iloilo?

Ano opinion nyo sa security guard nga nag paniro sa festive.? According sa pag interview sa iya. Wala sya intention maniro. Glng gin sita sya. Na hurt feelings nya. So gin tiro nya. Pero wala gd sya intention maniro.

Me and my friends(group of 7) went to Iloilo for a vacation and we were so disappointing with the service of these places:

Happy Endings Creamery (Molo Mansion) - i think the staff was expecting that all of us were gonna order since we were a big group but got disappointed cause only 2 ordered so when they served the ice cream, so nag maldita yung nag serve and binagsak pa sa table yung tray. We didn’t even stay there and tinake out nga nila yung orders nila as we were in a hurry!

Masskara Chicken Inasal (Festive Walk Mall) - my friends were excited to try the inasal but unfortunately yung waiter parang tinataboy kami. We even asked if pwede kaming mag waiting nalang but yung vibe talaga ng waiter is parang tinataboy kami.

Monkey Grounds Coffee (Festive Walk) - my bf asked the waiter twice if we could move the tables together and twice din siya dinedma lang ng waiter! We didn’t even ask na sila yung mag move eh! Nag tanong lang kami if pwede naming ma move.

Mas maganda pa yung service sa mga simple places like Netongs and Madge Cafe kasi kahit madami silang costumers, accommodating talaga sila. =(

Hi everyone! I'm travelling solo to Iloilo this coming May 30 - June 4. I'm considering staying in Bernwood Tower. From the airport, I'm planning to take the shared van, saan po ako bababa, and anong jeep/bus route ang sasakyan ko going to Bernwood? Or is it better if mag grab nalang ako? How much kaya?

I'm also planning to go to Guimaras(port), Festive Walk, Jaro Church, Molo Mansion, Lapaz Public Market, Roberto's, Maridels, Iloilo Coffee House, Smallville, and Esplanade, just to name a few. From Bernwood, ano-anong mga jeep/bus routes po ang pwede kong sakyan going to those places? I'd appreciate any info given po, para maka tipid naman kahit sa pamasahe nalang hehe. Thank you in advance!! ❤️
