sang very nicely ... kanami lang pamati-an. Cheers.

Actually, I can hear Ilonggos in South Cotabato, Sultan Kudarat provinces singing this song from time to time. They look upon their "guinhalinan" despite being far from it. They still send their kids to Iloilo's schools, hence majority of Mindanaoans who are studying in Iloilo's colleges and universities are from Region XII (Soccsksargen). We had an inter-collegiate gathering of Mindanaoan student organizations in Iloilo's tertiary educational institutions sometime in my college days and more or less 80% of the members do come from there.

We can ask the Gensan and Soccksargen folks here who visit our thread.

Iloilo River


Royal Course

Your tides' spirit is mostly calm
Flowing through your gentle kingdom
Of people with a singsong tone
Like the smooth, winding course you own

You were once the blue, royal scene
Where riches were docked for your Queen
Jewel of the crown that was made
And given because of your trade

The city's fortune is your wife
In trying times and renewed life
Abound again, will your fishes
Both divine and man made riches.

Every last weekend of January, Kasadyahan Festival is annually held in the beautiful and historic City of Iloilo. Individuals from the other regions of the country who want to observe this celebration should travel to some of the major Philippine cities like Cebu City and Manila City to take flights to Iloilo airport, or they can also ride in roll-on roll-off vessels bound to Iloilo seaport. From the ports, people can easily find taxis and jeepneys that can transport them to Iloilo City. Estimated travel time from the Iloilo airport and seaport to the city proper is half hour.
