First Time In ILOILO CITY! Philippines British History?

IT'S MY FIRST TIME IN ILOILO CITY!
And I discovered that this city in the Western Visayas has some British history!
Nicholas Loney was a British vice consul who came here in the 1850s and introduced modern machinery and helped sugarcane farmers get crop loans, turning the former textiles port into a hub for sugar!
But first we take a trip through Guimaras, an island very different to its neighbours...

Welcome to Iloilo - home of spanish era structures, centuries-old churches and mansions, river esplanades, bike lanes, museums, and well-preserved public parks, cleanest city and picturesque

[@belladacup4698]

Thanks for exploring my own town ILOILO.. THE COLONEST CITY OF THE PHILIPPINES❤❤❤ IM PROUD TO BE ILONGGO... MALAMBING KAMING MGA ILONGGA

[@SkyleLitz]

There's something unique about the Philippines. It was then colonized and some tried to colonize by the western world and the Asians might such as Spain,the British, Americans, Dutch,Japan,and China. It was a strategic country in asia that consist of 7641 islands, a peninsula that foreign countries were dying to conquer. Most of which is Panay Island especially in"Iloilo" because it is a strategically ideal location for the economy and it's the heart of the country.

13:00 "HA-RO" po Kumander (Jaro)

[@KumanderDaot]

I am pronouncing everything wrong today! Thanks for the correction!

[@pedroburrito8038]

Hope you had fun in Ilongo Visaya! People there are friendly and welcoming, as I remember it when I was a kid and visiting Iloilo. Batchoy would be a must eat if you're in the area and don't forget the mangos from Guimaras. I always laugh when I hear native Ilongos speak to each other, as their accents are really unique and no where else like it in the Philippines.

[@edzeljereza8234]

Can't believe this is your first time in Iloilo KD! Welcome to my birthplace and where I will end up soon after I retire from the workforce here in the states for the second time! The City Of Love! Guimaras was my second home as my mother is from there and we still have property. Back in the day, Guimaras was still part of Iloilo province. BTW, Jaro is pronounced as Haa-ro.

[@whitevanman9500]

That was a great interesting piece of work Ansulm that is definitely one place added to my bucket list cheers for the heads up..👍

Loney died on 23 April 1869 while exploring Mount Kanlaon on the island of Negros. He was buried by the seashore under some coconut trees in what is now Rizal Street in Iloilo City.

[@bamboogirl365]

We have a Loney street here in Silay City, Negros Occidental

[@clydeseaside345]

The contrasts of the ferries are fantastic, but all perfect for the journey. Iloilo looks magnificent---the only reason I have never been is the strict enforcement of the anti smoking laws-----lol, even ran into an Ilo resident in Bacolod who took the ferry there once a week to smoke in freedom

[@mannygreywolfsdb9936]

Every time I visit Ilo-Ilo, it's auto buy Batchoy. And I time my visit to Guimaras when its Mango season. Because of the eat-all you can Mangos during the local festival.

[@darlingdenez116]

[@geneanotado]

That place you stayed in was abandoned when I was a kid in the early 70's. It was then rebuilt and opened as a The Key massage parlour. But then we moved to the US in 1980.

[@KrissBartlett]

[@emelkoho6816]

welcome kumander Daot sa Iloilo!

[@1mw4tch1ng]

I was born in Iloilo and lived in Jordan Gimaras Island until five. Our house was over the water and at high tide, fish would be swimming under our house. I need to visit the place where I was born but not the Aswangs. There was then but not sure it is still around. The best tasting and sweetest mangoes are from Gimaras.

[@chootviloilo]

Would love to meet you Kumander Daot. Welcome to Iloilo City

[@dpld1797]

The last time i went to Iloilo was 1980. I feel so old. Hahaha by the way Sir Daot it's very interesting how they wrapped those mangoes with newspapers. I saw them how they do it using a bamboo ladder and ropes.

[@laniehachero9792]

Ohhh as iknow they used ropes 🪢 to wrapped the mango 🥭🥭🥭 if its quite higher level
