22:32 Iloilo City -> capital of Iloilo Province Iloilo Province -> one of the provinces on Panay island (Panay Provinces: Iloilo, Aklan, Antique, Capiz) the new developments are nice but Iloilo is known for Spanish era churches and stone houses...
Hi Mike & Bianca! Welcome to Iloilo City! I was the one who saw you two this afternoon inside our car. I hope you will enjoy our city. So many places to visit and food to eat here. 🥰
I've driven the mountain route between Antique and Iloilo several times. The roads are pretty good and it really cuts down on the travel time, plus the views are amazing. However, I've always done it in a car or van! Takes less than 2 hours if you really step on the accelerator. Can't even imagine how it would be on a bike, though. That's a whole other level!
I'm a 73 years old subscriber watching this. Ur doing a good job Sir with ur camera like taking us along with those roadside views and panoramas. Ur descriptions too of places and itineraries make u couple excellent hosts and tour guides. I really like watching your vlogs. Congrats and hope u get more subscribers.
Hello.. Welcome to Iloilo City, the capital of the Province of Iloilo. We only have 2 cities in the Province of Iloilo. Iloilo city and Passi City. Was excited to see our office bldg where you stopped by to check your GPS or something. It's the Richmonde tower beside the ILOILO CONVENTION CENTER. 😍Enjoy your stay in the city of Love. Yes, highly recommended Muelle Loney Deli. 😋 And the famous Tatoy's Seafood.
My wife and are planned a two month trip to the PI. Looking at all that rain I'm glad we postponed it to October. Here in Rosarito Beach, Baja Norte, Mexico (just across the border from San Diego) we haven't seen a drop of rain since May. If San Diegians had four days of even cloudy weather they would think the world is coming to an end.
I'd rather you go here on February next year. Not hot, breezy throughout the country. If you travel on October, you'll always be indoors. Storms parade around that time.
Love your videos, it makes me homesick. I'm from San Jose, Antique but moved to New Zealand then Australia where I've been living for 20 years. I can still recognize every street, every town you drove through. I've also been to La Parola on my last visit to the Philippines. Love you guys. Keep producing more quality videos.
My father’s hometown is San Jose . Antique. I went to school there when I was in grade 3 but because my father was in the airforce we move back to Pasay City. Never been back to visit until Jan 2019, just before the lockdown due to pandemic I hope to go back in 2023 or 24. Your video reminded me of our long drive from Iloilo to San Jose and back, a day trip. It was tiring but I think we were able to hit most of picturesque places. I live now in San Diego Ca, and wishing I could go back and take a long vacation and live like a local.
It's best when Boracay, will connect to Iloilo to guimaras to Bacolod and Cebu,it's fantastic 😍😍😍 journey,someday ,somehow if the railways system and connecting bridges will be built in the future,your adventures are all full packed.,enjoy and more fun in the city of 😘😘😘💕💕💕
You guys I'm amaze on your journey 😘😘😘 in the city of love,make your day more adventurous because lots of places to explore,every rides have a journey to tell,love 💕💕💕 your vibe guys
It's iloilo city in the province of iloilo. :) Welcome to my favorite place on earth. Go visit the unesco world heritage site the miagao church in the town of miagao.
hey guys welcome to iloilo . pls visit muelle deli and restaurant located at lapuz sur at the back of iloilo provincial capitol . it is a international cuisine restaurant. . the food is so good and the ambiance is so relaxing . . .tthe restaurant is literally beside the river. . how to get there? just ride the light of glory taxi and tell the name of the restaurant they already knew it . . godbless to both of you guys
The biggest island in western visayas! With full of history of pre spanish colonial period, the datus and the ita's, ita's are still exist somewhere in remote areas of panay and mostly in aklan Hoping that you can visit their Community in the near future in aklan when you go back to the city they are the last Itas community on this Island!
Welcome to my hometown... Pls try Joe Inato... Chicken inasal and Buko halo is best 😂 also try get barquilos like stick o but its pasalubong treats.. Also goes with Halox2 as sprinkles..
Watching from BC, Canada..my pleasure to see how you showcase my birthplace, Iloilo, through your trip around. Wont skip any of your videos since you stayed in iloilo. Love it.
Hi Mike and Bianca, the place you stopped by along Anini-y area is the place I grew up to.. used to play in those rock formations while fetching water from a fresh water source there for the flower garden and had our teachers scream at the top of their lungs when we sneak out.. Thank you for showing how beautiful our place is ❤️
I know it is difficult to always do but a good rule to follow in photography is "follow the sun". Everything looks better (and happier) when the sun is out. The sun adds pop to pictures. Notice that you'll never see a professional picture or video by the tourist bureau or resort when the sun isn't shining, and especially of beach resorts. That's why low season is always the rainy season. Notice that Rick Steve's, the grandfather of travel videos, always shoots his travel videos during the sunny and dry season.
We live in the Philippines so rain or sun we will be filming everyday, as a photographer for many years I agree in a perfect world of sun everyday this would be perfect
It is nice that you're also filming the not so pristine parts of the Philippines (and even in gloomy weather), "most Filipino netizens" don't like being plastic (not real) so if you see or experience something that you don't like feel free to criticize or give your opinion, but always be polite to the locals specially the one in the provinces, they will love you more.
@4:44, that's the church and town of Hamtic, Antique. My hometown, glad to have caught a glimpse of it. May you two continue to have fun and safe adventures in the Philippines.
Those blue fine nets they use close to the shore is for catching milk fish fry(babies). They will be grown in fish farms where butterfly cut milk fish comes from.. popularly known as deboned/boneless bangus.
Hope u guys visit Capiz(Roxas City)Seafoods capital of the Philippines...The biggest bell in Asia is located in the town of Panay,Capiz...Baybay beach a stretch of a beach wherein comes alive at night theres a lot of restaurants fresh seafoods and inasal.Suhot Cave in Dumalag,Capiz,The Virgen Mary statue in Pilar,Capiz...Sacred Heart of Jesus in Brgy Dinginan,Roxas City...Safe travels to u both!
I think we will make a seperate trip to Kalibo and Roxas so we have enough time to see it all. That way we did one western side and one eastern side trip
Iloilo (historian says) came from the word "Irong-irong", means 'nose like'. It refers to the river in the city that bends and formed the terrain in a nose like shape.
I'm curious, can you differentiate the accent of someone from Bacolod or from Guimaras? Do they have different Ilonggo accent compared to the people of Iloilo?
@@wavemaker2077 Hahaha! For the Bacolod city and Negros Occidental... Yes! The Hiligaynon there has wavey tone, alot of ups and downs and sounds 'Mayaman' or 'Sosyal'... Which, most Ilonggos (from Iloilo) don't like... Guimaras, I think most of the island uses the Iloilo hiligaynon. Since, most of the Guimarasnon are working in Iloilo city... Capiz... Capiznon, uses 85% hiligaynon words with additional local words... plus the additive 'jai!'. And, very ironic... only 25% to 30% of the Iloilo province uses Hiligaynon (it includes Iloilo city, Dumangas town, Ajuy town and few Northern towns); majority uses their kinaray-a dialects...
Thank you for the nice video. My father is from San Jose , Antique, Sinforoso Nietes Fortaleza. i went to 3 rd grade there but finish growing up in Pasay City. i am now a californian, but hoping to go back to Antique next year.
Capital of Iloilo province is Iloilo city, sir... Btw, miss Bianca... Welcome to another (2 languages!) Kinaray-a of Antique and outer towns of Iloilo and Hiligaynon of Iloilo city... Hiligaynon language is the reason why Iloilo city carries its ads line - City of love.
@@wavemaker2077 I don't have any idea why they called the language as Hiligaynon. I only knew that it is (hiligaynon) is a variant of Kinaray-a from Antique. Since, hiligaynon originate from the Chinese community of Molo, in the history. The Chinese, then, find it difficult to pronounce the 'r'. So, they change it to letter 'l'. E.g. kararaw-kalalaw (woven bamboo), baringon-balingon (anchovies), garinga-galingan (milling station), etc. If you wish to speak kinaray-a in general way, just change the 'l' to 'r' of the hiligaynon and vice versa. Ilonggo are the people living in Iloilo city and province. Just like Ilocano-Ilocandia, Bicolano-Bicolandia... Guimaras, Capiz, Negros Occidental and Bacolod city are not Ilonggo; yet, they speaks Hiligaynon dialects...
@@henceldeanon9233 Nice explanation there about the l and r. Btw, Cebu speaks Cebuano. The people of Davao are not Cebuano and yet they speak Cebuano. The same logic should apply to Ilonggo. The people of Negros are not Ilonggo (are they really not Ilonggo?) but they speak Ilonggo. Btw, I have a friend from Bacolod and he considers himself as Ilonggo. When did this Hiligaynon word come out? My father is actually from Guimaras (though I've never been to Guimaras and I don't speak Ilonggo) and he considers himself as Ilonggo. Growing up, I never heard the word Hiligaynon.
@@wavemaker2077 Davaoeños and Northern Mindanao (Butuan and CDO cities) speaks Bisaya. Though, bisaya also refers to people speaking bisaya/cebuano, including the Cebuanos. Since, bisaya is a dialect come from cebuano. And, now they are conflicting of who is the language and the dialect. Negros people are proud Negrense. And, I aware of that they call their dialect as Ilonggo. (And we, as people living in Iloilo is trying correct. But, unfortunately they wont listen. Maybe they are trying to develope their own identity just to avoid connections to Iloilo). They called themselves as Ilonggo (including the province of Guimaras). My assumption is that they are referring to their lineage (as we know, that some people in Negros Occidental and Guimaras came from Panay island through Iloilo city, just to occupy the place and to plant sugarcane - sugar route). Same as what happen the South Cotabato (many Ilonggos there speaking Hiligaynon, developing their own dialect).
@@wavemaker2077 ilonggo is a language and people, like french, example french are from france but some canadian speak french, if you speak hiligaynon you called your self an ilonggo, same as french
now that you are in western visayas, any plan for Oct? bacolod city is preparing for the masskara fest, a street dance similar to Rio carnival, it will be fun and exiting fest. new sub here
Great video guys! The scene and trip looks fun. Yup, that's P.I. for yah. When it rain, it pours. Also, like the specs your wearing Mike! May I ask, what brand are they? Stay safe and healthy! PEACE... :)
Iloilo city in the province of Iloilo, ... kind of like Newyork city in Newyork State. Nice video guys. Last winter we dropped in and visited one of Merlyn's old schoolmates that lives in the condos there at Megaworld, and her sister has one under construction there that isn't quite ready for turnover yet. You chose the best place in all of Iloilo City to stay.
Nice road trip on that motorcycle, both of you got tanned antique and Iloilo is beautiful the view is awesome next time you plan a road trip again try to find a scooter that is automatic much easier to drive and the seat is more comfortable also the tires are tubeless and a little bit wider travel safe Mike and bianca.
We tried hard you'll see in our video of day 1 we searched for 6 hours to find a bike to rent and only found one for p4000 per day and this one for P8000 for 9 days. There were no options sadly
@@BiancaBeyond I would expect the old volcano to be the highest point of land. If the volcano blew up it would probably less obvious but still the highest point in the direction away from the waters edge.
We had one for a while but you can't fly on Boracay without an expensive permit and only one time use for an approved event or hotel advertising. Plus the airport near. In angles the airport had the sky blocked, manila bay the USA embassy had it blocked. Then rain ect. It's just been difficult to get to use it
@@IndayMaf weather permitting yes, Boracay you can't launch drones without an expensive permit that you can apply for a single use for a single thing like a hotel promo. So we can't do it at home sadly
nice adventure. where's the place you guys stopped at for lunch. looked amazing. I imagine it was south of san jose. I'm planning on moving to iloilo, ty for letting me get a look at it. looking forward to you next vlogs of the city.
It's right next door! We feature it in tomorrows vlog, but didn't drink at the time because we were doing a lot of walking and we were probably a little too dehydrated to drink alcohol alone
hi guys, hope ur both safe. bte iloilo is a city by itself and was formerly named irong irong becaise of its geographic nosed shaped, which is ilong or nose in tagalog.
pronouce as anini ih, not anini why..that's my father's hometown..thanks for dropping by..that mountain is called nasog..it looks like a crest of a rooster from a distance..that town is near to an active fault line that sometimes lots of shaking occurs in a day
Iloilo City and the province is called Iloilo Province in the island of Panay. Panay Island has 4 provinces Iloilo, Antique, Capiz & Aklan. Guimaras was the 5th before but they separated. Iloilo Province and the city is Iloilo, Antique Province and the city is San Jose, Capiz Province and the city is Roxaz & Aklan Province the city is Kalibo.
Its so unfortunate that you missed to feature one of the four baroque churches in the Philippines found in the Municipality of Miagao right before the Municipality of Guimbal (the one with uniform color yellow fences).
Guys, it’s rainy season in the PI right now, the wrong time to travel. It starts in June and ends towards December, around November, then the rest is dry season and you start all over again. That’s also the typhoon season there as well so please be careful. Next time, try to time your travels during the dry season instead. Just FYI.
We live on the Philippines and looking for our long term place to live next April and so much of the Philippines to see. And the good thing is we have our whole life to keep coming back and trying new things all the time

Iloilo is a province and it's capital is Iloilo City.
Its only 15mins in the boat going in guimaras
That's our hope for one day
Iloilo is a city and have international airport
15:10 Those rocks were formed by molten lava flowing and cooling when it hit the ocean water.
That is what we had wondered but then wondered where is the old volcano? Underwater?
@@BiancaBeyond I would expect the old volcano to be the highest point of land. If the volcano blew up it would probably less obvious but still the highest point in the direction away from the waters edge.
@@BiancaBeyond there's a hot spring in there called Siraan hot spring in Aniniy-y
@@BiancaBeyond Mt. Baloy in Antique is the most probable dead volcano. Legend has it that a firebird lives on top.
We have been to Orr. They make very good pizzas there. My mom is from San Jose.
Most of the roads are paved in the mountains, I know because our many property’s are in the mountains of Igbaras!!
I think the warning was the mud slides onto the the roads were the issues?
nice holiday.. perfect sceneries...enjoy
Iloilo city is the capital while the iloilo province surrounds it..
Have a safe trip on a rainy days
You guys have a drone now wow. You're a legit travel channel now.
We had one for a while but you can't fly on Boracay without an expensive permit and only one time use for an approved event or hotel advertising. Plus the airport near. In angles the airport had the sky blocked, manila bay the USA embassy had it blocked. Then rain ect. It's just been difficult to get to use it
@@BiancaBeyond i love you guys.
you have to invite your friend Isabelle. she can tour you there.
Did i just see a drone shots?! haha, nice 🏔👌
Yea finally a chance to launch the drone
@@BiancaBeyond good job! more drone shots coming up on your channel 👌✨
@@IndayMaf weather permitting yes, Boracay you can't launch drones without an expensive permit that you can apply for a single use for a single thing like a hotel promo. So we can't do it at home sadly
Guimbal Is my Hometown 💪
Hello TPL be careful for your rides.
It’s Iloilo City in the province of Iloilo… love the spontaneity… It MY City by the way…🤣🤣🤣
To answer your question:
Both the Province and the City is named Iloilo.

Try going to the Brandy Museum within casa emperador while you're in the city
It's right next door! We feature it in tomorrows vlog, but didn't drink at the time because we were doing a lot of walking and we were probably a little too dehydrated to drink alcohol alone
Great video!
Welcome to Iloilo City ❤️❤️❤️💖💖
Come to Bacolod City for the Maskara Festival 🎭🥳🥳
Nice 😅
hi guys, hope ur both safe. bte iloilo is a city by itself and was formerly named irong irong becaise of its geographic nosed shaped, which is ilong or nose in tagalog.
pronouce as anini ih, not anini why..that's my father's hometown..thanks for dropping by..that mountain is called nasog..it looks like a crest of a rooster from a distance..that town is near to an active fault line that sometimes lots of shaking occurs in a day
Iloilo City and the province is called Iloilo Province in the island of Panay. Panay Island has 4 provinces Iloilo, Antique, Capiz & Aklan. Guimaras was the 5th before but they separated. Iloilo Province and the city is Iloilo, Antique Province and the city is San Jose, Capiz Province and the city is Roxaz & Aklan Province the city is Kalibo.
Great info thank you, how does Western Visayas fit into this is that because it's Panay plus Guimaras, Boracay included?
fyi, San Jose and kalibo are not cities.
guimaras was a sub province of iloilo but now seperated
Its so unfortunate that you missed to feature one of the four baroque churches in the Philippines found in the Municipality of Miagao right before the Municipality of Guimbal (the one with uniform color yellow fences).
The good thing about living in The Philippines here is always another time to come back to see more
Guys, it’s rainy season in the PI right now, the wrong time to travel. It starts in June and ends towards December, around November, then the rest is dry season and you start all over again. That’s also the typhoon season there as well so please be careful. Next time, try to time your travels during the dry season instead. Just FYI.
We live on the Philippines and looking for our long term place to live next April and so much of the Philippines to see. And the good thing is we have our whole life to keep coming back and trying new things all the time
15:05 I am guessing that the rock formation was formed by lava flow.
That rock formation would probably the result faults movement near the cost of San Joaquin and Anini-y.
Just this day Aug 13, 2022 a M5.1 earthquake happened with the epicenter in Anini-y. If you were still in Iloilo, probably you've felt it.
