Power Failures...Again?

It was a short-lived reprieve from power failures. Why did I assume that it would be the norms in Iloilo City? I'm in for a harsh reality because it is back.

Power failures are back in vengeance. Due to what reason, I don't know. At first it was less than an hour but then it became longer and longer. Saturday was the pits. It lasted for a day. I just justified it by saying that it might have been a result of the weather disturbance. Whatever the reason though, it's time to prepare those generator sets,candles, rechargeable lamps, etc.

Let's just hope that one of these days we would really have a power-failure city and province. Dream on!?

Iloilo: My Home

Iloilo is such an interesting to live in. It has a very diverse culture and a much laid back atmosphere compared with other cities in the Philippines.

What makes Iloilo interesting?

Hhmm...It might be the Ilonggos themselves or their interactions with people coming from other places. There are many Ilonggos who made a name for themselves and excelled in their respective fields. There are also notorious Ilonggos whose names were splashed in newspapers because of controversies. The most interesting though are the common people who go through the rigors of daily life in Iloilo or in other places.

Iloilo is also known for its rich cuisine. Think batchoy, pancit molo, biscocho...the list goes on. Ilonggos are people who savor their food. That may be the reason why restaurants can be seen in almost every corner.

It has always been said that the people from Iloilo are gentle. Yes, they are but they are also capable of rants and anger. It is even said that one wouldn't know that an Ilonggo is already angry.

But then again, Iloilo and its people are quite unique.

Hala Bira!
