- This was a completely random day. I decided not to use waze and stick with asking locals for directions. It ended up being the best decision as I got to talk with amazing individuals and ended up doing some calisthenics and Arm wrestling at Molo Plaza. This was definitely a day I will never forget!
Thank you Arm wrestling Iloilo for your kindness and to everyone I met along the way, you guys are awesome!

If i were to ask why should Foreigners visit Iloilo city? I would probably say, it's not for all. I mean, this city is a calm city, clean, wide streets, good food, and safe. It's more on to family vacation and perfect if you just want solace. Plus, you got to experience the past by visiting the heritage sites around the city, and do mansion, church, museum hopping. Thank you for featuring Iloilo city, hope you had a good time!
I am loving this answer! Couldn’t have said it any better, Edgar! We had a blast! We loved our experience in Iloilo so much that we are definitely coming back soon!
Thank you Joe for appreciating the beauty of Iloilo. Glad you stumbled upon Gerald to guide you. You accidentally ended up in the plaza doing calisthenics and armwrestling😂. You’ll have to visit again and explore other parts you have not visited, Iloilo is full of wonderful places to visit. ❤️
A big thank you to you guys! I am glad that I met Gerald because that day turned out amazing! I had so much fun watching you guys and I appreciate you teaching me arm wrestling. We will definitely be back for more!
I’ll make sure to stop over the plaza again and catch up with you guys 🙌🏻
Interesting video. Well done. Iloilo is one of our options for retirement.
Thank you Gregory! Retiring in Iloilo is a great choice
My grandfather was born in Iloilo and came to the U.S. in early 1920s. I have never seen video of Iloilo. Thank you for showing the beautiful city.
My pleasure Lynda! Iloilo is indeed beautiful. I've been wanting to go back for some time now but it is quiet far from where we live and will require a lot of effort to head there.
I hope all local government in our country will have a clean up drive and follow Iloilo. It's nice to see if streets and places are clean and well kept.
Very true! It makes it appealing not just for the tourists but for locals as well ❤️
Iloilo is very photogenic with all those nice heritage buildings.
Yes! On a super peaceful day, it actually feels like you are back in the early 1900’s 🙌🏻 I kinda wish I took more pictures

Coming from that spot in Robinsons Iloilo downtown, you can ride the Molo Baluarte jeep and tell the driver that you will be drop off by the Molo Plaza. From there, you can walk all to the way to the Esplanades 1 & 2 which is just a few blocks away.
Awesome! Thanks for the info! We’ll try this out when we visit Iloilo again soon. I absolutely loved walking at the Esplanade. The air was so fresh and the view of the river was so relaxing.
Welcome to the City of Love and showcasing our City. New subscriber here❤😊
Thank you so much for subscribing! ❤️🙌🏻 We absolutely had a blast in Iloilo and we will be back for more soon!
Thank u for this wonderful video.
Appreciate you always on my videos Yasin 🙌🏻 thank you!
@@VanandJoe 😄
Carpenters bridge thats where esplanade 1 & 2 starts and if u continue to walk aroud boths sides of the river then u will end @ the iloilo port and muelle loney by the customs house. Its approx 10 kms and keep on going south via the ongoing project sunset boulevard toward oton iloilo😉
Wow! That’s amazing! We actually went to Oton that same night as our grab driver recommended a place with eateries. You can see that on my other Iloilo vlog.
Next time, we might try walking from Esplanade 1 all the way to Oton 🙌🏻
@@VanandJoe yes ive watched ur othe vlog😉👍 The end point of iloilo river is the town of oton. Technically, iiloilo river is not a river. Its an estuary . Its salty, its has has tide and low tide. It doesnt connect to any other river and this is where the barter trade takes place b4 the spanish came . Thats why a lot of chinese settled in molo 😊. Thank u for being so responsive with ur viewera and subscribers❤️👍🙏💪
@@litoyvillagracia799 thank you for watching, Litoy!
Oh wow! That’s amazing information right there! ❤️ when we come back, we will definitely spend a few hours chilling by the estuary.
I love communicating with my viewers so always feel free to leave comments! ❤️🙌🏻
gerald is my little bro💪🏻..i was surprised you featured him and for that i’ll will subscribe to your channel❤
Wooow! That’s Awesome Gidion! Glad you found our channel. Thank you so much for subscribing! Send my regards to him please 🙌🏻
sure! if you happen to visit Iloilo again, try visiting Bucari, Leon which is known as the little Baguio of Iloilo😎
Masarap mamatsoy dyan sa tienda mayor ,
❤❤❤
❤️🤗🙌🏻
Filipinos are all hospitable but ilonggos are so malambing khit galit na😁👍💪
Ahaha! So i’ve heard! 😅 that’s amazing honestly! I guess that’s where the term city of love came from right?
@@VanandJoe thats true sir!😜. I can see u really enjoyed iloilo with its new vibes/ambiance/food etc. Youre not only good guys but ur both maganda!
Absolutely! We loved everything in Iloilo! I have one more vlog coming that highlights Punot. What an amazing restaurant. The staff were brilliant and the food was amazing! 🥳
Thank you! It must be the filter 😂😅
Sir visit bucari mountain in leon......
Will put that in the itinerary for next time! Thanks for the recommendation, Ruffy!
Damires Hills as well in Janiuay. Just watched That Philippines Life vlog about it.
Proud Ilonggo here. You can swim in iloilo river. Its just so happen people are afraid 😂😂😂. But we know ita clean because people go fishing there and ate them..I remember the government release tilapias in the river which locals now enjoy fiahing.
Wohoo! Hello! I love hanging out with Ilonggos! So friendly and nice 🙌🏻 wow! I wish I knew but it might be kind of embarrassing knowing nobody else is swimming 😅
That is so amazing! We saw a lot of people catching crabs as well.
Esplanade will end or stop in molo but i guess there is a proposal or project by by the govt to extend it up to the municipality of Oton.i suggest you should also collab with the 2 foreign vloggers residing in iloilo their you tube channel called "That Philippine life".
Oh wow! That would be amazing if they extend it all the way to Oton.
Yes i’ve seen their vlogs but they are so far ahead and are successful vloggers now. It might be too much of a reach for me to do so 😅
I just saw you on every Man has a story and I just subscribed.. thanks for showing me iloilo and I plan to visit there after I arrive thanks to you.. I'm looking for a place in the Philippines to live without any power outages or with the least power outages.. do you have any recommendations? Thanks 👍
Hi Richard! Thank you so much for subscribing and commenting 🙌🏻 The Philippines is definitely a great choice.
That’s pretty hard knowing that generally we do get power outages here and there. But to lessen the chances of that happening, you need to live in a big city like Metro Manila or Cebu city.
Problem is, just like most big cities, it is polluted and noisy.
If you decide to live in smaller islands or the province area then sure, you may get power outages at times but it is tolerable and you get the best Philippine experience. The best beaches are found in the province and locals are more laid back.
If you want best of both worlds then Iloilo is on top of the list. There are big shopping malls there yet there is not much traffic.
A very clean city and Ilonggos are so hospitable!
If you want a more laid back experience, visit Dumaguete. That’s where we live. It is a stone throw away from an amazing island called Siquijor, a 6 hour boat ride away from Cebu city and a 2 hour boat ride away from Bohol . ( we do get seldom power outage especially on Sundays )
@@VanandJoe thanks 👍
@@richardhowe5583 no worries Richard! 🙌🏻
Poor guys got nosebleeds 😂
Oh no 😂 I did try to speak in Tagalog as well but he seemed to enjoy replying in English so I went with it
I also remember before there is penalty or fine if you throw your garbage or spit. Thats why old folks pass that descipline to new generations of ilonggo.
Amazing! That should be implement all around the Philippines ❤️ I love that so much! The river is so clean that I wanted to take a dip! 😅
hindi irong,kundi ilong po😮😮
Thank you for the correction po! 🙌🏻🤗
It actually is Irong. 😊 more of the Kinaray’a than Hiligaynon eventually.
@@ålheaiNe i appreciate the backup info 😅 i’ve read that up somewhere and started to think it was wrong
It's actually irong more on karay-a dialect 😅
Thank you Emmanuel 🥰🙌🏻
