Colorful sails were unfurled once again as Iloilo City hosted the 35th Paraw Regatta Festival.

Iloilo painted the town red

Last February 17, the Ilonggos painted the city Iloilo red! Iloilo City has recently held its annual Lunar New Year Celebrations along the city’s Chinatown Triangle.

Museo Iloilo

Just a few meters away from the Iloilo Provincial Capitol is the Museo Iloilo. The museum houses the paleontological and archeological treasures of Iloilo.

Iloilo, for the second time around

Last weekend I went again to Iloilo for several reasons: The Chinese New Year Celebrations, The 35th Paraw Regatta, and to tour the centuries-old churches and cemeteries in this province.

First itinerary upon arrival was the the Januiay [pronounced as Ha-ni-way] Cemetery. I must say, taht this is one of Iloilo’s best kept jewel. I was so amazed at its beauty and grandeur. No doubt, every heritage freaks and architecture fanatics would love this place!
