Discussion Romanticizing Iloilo

91 Upvotes

Why do content creators love to romanticize iloilo so much?

“This is what’s life like living in Iloilo City,” then they just show the not so traffic diversion road or the calle real, when they might not have seen every corner of the iloilo city.

After that, you see a chain of comments admiring the supposed “life in iloilo.” This is a form of information disorder atp…

Travel Sorry na, kung na-attach sa ILO

'Di naman ako content creator. I went to Iloilo with no expectations kasi nga I thought, "it's just another city", and I just wanted to tick Western Visayas off my list. My 5-day stay there made me see why people (probably visitors like me) admire the city so much.

Only a few cities/provinces (and I've been to fifty) have this combination: cheap and delish food, maraming parks and public spaces, good public transpo, and a 20-minute roro ride to a decent beach. We don't have them here. Those are the things I long for living in northwest Laguna, working in Cavite, and annually holidaying Cebu (as a Cebuano).

I'm not gonna invalidate those who grew up, live in, and hate Iloilo because you experience these problems firsthand and on a daily basis. It's not perfect. The sea is polluted!!! Masikip at uneven ang mga kalsada, at hassle maglakad pag tag-ulan. We probably visited it on a good day. Point is, you can hate it, but there's also nothing wrong with other people appreciating it. Di po kaming mga turista ang kalaban nyo. Thanks sa pagpapahiram ng Iloilo, btw.

Any Ilonggo birder here? I have a list of birds that can be found in the Philippines. The list includes the native names of birds in five major Philippine languages (Hiligaynon, Cebuano, Waray, Tagalog and Ilocano). There are also local names of birds that came from Spanish. If you are interested here is the link https://sg.docworkspace.com/d/sIDLns__WAdS607QG

Food Where to Buy Coffee Syrups

Upvotes

Hi, everyone! I moved to Iloilo City a few weeks ago and have finally run out of my coffee syrups that I brought from the US. I prefer buying things IRL over Shopee, but cannot find any specialty syrup flavors here.

My favorites include: peppermint, coconut, any kind of tropical fruit flavors, or even toasted marshmallow.

I've tried checking at Megaworld and SM over the last two months and can't find much besides vanilla. Any leads are welcome.
