Returning once again to Iloilo City in 2024, one of my favorite cities in the Philippines. Today, we are exploring the charming Jaro neighborhood, very close to the ancient Jaro Cathedral. We walked through the streets, and the smell of local street food caught our taste buds. . And just around the corner from the Jaro cathedral a vibrant local street had some cool street art, celebrating the creativity and spirit of the area. 3 things sum up this area, the attractions, the food, and the local people. Don’t forget to like and subscribe to stay updated on my new KZfaq videos, capturing the beauty of the Philippines and beyond! Is Iloilo city the same as it was 2 years ago?

THIS WAS MY FIRST TIME GOING BACK TO THE PHILIPPINES FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 2 YEARS.
Back in 2022 it was the opposite I went from the Philippines to USA - back home. But it feels good to do it the opposite way and get back to Asia. Watch as I show you one of my favorite cities in the Philippines Iloilo.

ILOILO CITY has a small population (approx. 450thousand) compared to the bigger cities like Cebu and Manila and yet it has plenty of big and sleek shopping malls. It's because its population is mostly middle to upper middle class, and these are the people who can afford to sustain these luxurious sleek malls.

I did not know that. I was really wondering why a "smaller" less traveled city ( compared to Cebu and manila) can be more expensive or same cost as those cities. I find stuff even cheaper in Cebu and even Makati at times than some stuff in iloilo.

Exactly! My sister has 4 cars and our neighbours in our village have atleast 2-3 cars. Seamen's wives and working professionals in other countries.

I’m a blk man, 44yrs old, single, no kids, in Las Vegas receiving 100% VA ($3,737.85/ month). Got my passport last week and my 10-year clock has started. 1st stop is CEBU Aug 1st 2024. Wish me luck.

Nice, I like cebu. It's a good mix of the feel of a bigger city but now all the downsides of a big city. Plus it's easy to get from cebu to other cities like Iloilo, Bacolod and dumaguete.. once again thanks for watching. 👍👍

So So true...we build our homes as fortresses so we don't have to leave the house. 100% true.

Yes plus I realized how much I value space. In Philippines they can love in so much smaller spaces. I wish I could settle for smaller size rentals I would save a lot of money. But something in me can't accept it. Haha.

Cool. I'm from the bay area (Vallejo) but obviously now out here in Asia. Thank you for watching my video's. Hopefully you enjoyed.

If you notice, many of the drivers and security guards in Iloilo are not Ilonggos, mostly Bisaya ftom orher provinces. Its because many young Ilonggo men and women would rather take up Seamanship or Nursing - these are courses that are high paying.

I loved iloilo in 2022. It wasn't as good this time as 2022, but I did stay in different area. I might visit it again down the road. I still had a good time.

@millennialbaby5632 3 ай бұрын

Impossible. Iloilo City is 30 years behind Cebu or Manila. Improving and developing in its unique and "cute" ways. hehe and I am Ilonggo myself. Born and raised here in Iloilo City hehe

@@millennialbaby5632 I loved iloilo back in 2019. But it seems they got rid of all the food carts that were down at sm Delgado mall area. It seemed prices went up and also I stayed in a different area this time (near the festive walk) last time I stayed by the river.

A lot of people, even the Filipinos themselves forgets or don't know. Iloilo is where old money came from. Not Cebu. Manila is where they dump their taxes. If you take out the business owned by Ilonggos and Visayans. Manila will be bankrupt. Or even pay the taxes, where they earned a profit. Like the Robinsons Mall you visited. They pay taxes in Manila, not in Iloilo City. The sugar cane industry in Negros Island, pays their due in Manila. One of the reason progress is slow in the provinces. The sugar cane magnates are from Iloilo.

Wow did not know that. I couldn't understand why Iloilo had money and was kind or expensive compared to close by cities.

The Rockerfellers, Carnegies and Vanderbilts of Iloilo are all gone. The 3rd and 4th generations have different last names and different endeavors. There ancestral homes are still standing. Most of them are based in Manila or the US. @@Willtravelz

You kept referring to the Philippines as "Asia". I know that is what people have accepted, but there is very little about Filipinos that is Asian. Asian countries are very very different in the way they think. In the PI, it's mostly Catholic and Western, but it is as conservative as Asia. The other roots are many, including Indonesia, China, aboriginal, and others. A lot of Spanish blood. They aren't "Asian", in my book. They are Filipino, and it is its own thing entirely. Special, gentle, kind of childish, people.

Yes you are right. But it's mostly because I dint stay in one country. I will be going to Vietnam shortly. That's kind of why I refer to it as Asia.
