See Iloilo’s best landmarks up close this January — history, culture, and photo-perfect moments.

Mom Violy, Tita Edna and Carmina have never been to Iloilo . Tita Edna suggested using her Philippine Airlines mileage to deduct 9,000 miles for a round trip to Iloilo and pay taxes of about 3,000 pesos ($50.85). Mom Violy and Carmina decided to do the same. Two weeks later, we learned Bacolod was recently hit by a typhoon, leaving fewer places to visit, so we changed our plans to stay in Iloilo, paying an additional 2,057 pesos ($34.86) for January 6–9, with Tita Edna leaving one day earlier on January 8, 2026.  Tita Edna told us that she has a friend Beth who can pick us up from the airport. Uniparentally plans had changed since her friend Beth and son could no longer tour us around, we decided to find ways to get around hire someone else. Jerson had picked us from One Madison Place where we had stayed during our vacation with the hours Mom Violy had requested. The first day we went to drive one hour and thirty minutes to reach  Miagao Church . We drove to our next destin...

No Contact is the Best Solution

It can be for personal reason, work related and just a time to have space between among friends but no matter what some day that friend who is no longer in contact with you will call or message you when they feel it is the right time for them to reach out to you. There is no reason to wait for their call or message for them because if they really want to reach out to you they will f...

Status Symbol of Your Life

We come across a discussion with someone and they ask what your status is doesn’t mean the status if you are single, married, divorce or widow. They are asking the status if you are poor, middle or rich. Does it really matter what status you are among your friends? This is my story I came across from when I had started living in the Philippines to explain why it doesn’t matter to me what status you are and who knows you may also agree or disagree with me. When I moved here in the Philippines I had to start from the bottom just like anyone else moving to another foreigner country as we all have moved across another place other than what you are use too your living environment because more dramatic than what you are use too. In the beginning you cannot complain where you’re living because this is a part of life that comes with adjustment period not only for yourself but the people who are involved. When you live with other people who not only a family member and em...
