Ilo-ilo

Ilo-ilo "The City of Love"


Travel: 1 hour MNL-ILO
Air-line: PAL
stayed at the Dormtel DBHometel which is a good deal for student's in a room of for (4) four cost about 500/person and then it comes with Breakfast.

Our primary goal was due to APMC event. This was 45th Association of the Philippine Medical Convention held at South Western Visayas State University. I was along with (4) Staff and (16) Medical Students of the University of Perpetual Help Rizal-Jonelta Foundation School of Medicine (UPHR-JFSM). But ofcourse I wouldn't miss to see the attractions around the City of Ilo-ilo.

Iloilo Airport

Day City tour:

1. Guimaras Island view/tour

If you have time to check Guimaras and enjoy the beach, it would be lovely! it will only take 15min trip across the island for only 14.00 pesos/person. In Guimaras, there would be available resorts where you could walk-in but I suggest a pre-book atleast a day and they could accommodate you instantly. For more details you can check out my Guimaras adventure around the blog.

NIGHT OUT @ Smallville

Smallville, this is Iloilo's famous Bar and Clubs. If you love to party go and checkout the pubs and the Iloilo crowd knows how to rock it! It is a long street of clubs and nearby hotels and food places.  And dont' forget to stroll along the new Riverside view which happens to be close by Smallville.
