you're right, Whyte ... top 3 if not the UGLIEST OF THEM ALL .... The Iloilo City Hall looks crap and old and out-modelled and dirty ... what happened to the proposed New ILOILO City Hall ... the ultra modern one like that of the Iloilo Provincial Capitol ... it was shelved for how many years now? Five or eight or even more? I've seen the design way back 1998 pa .. it's 2005 now ... it doesn't take 10 years of planning to build a new one, does it?

Hands down ... its the UGLIEST tlga, not to mention unsafe. It is so structurally fragile that they have to move some of the offices to nearby Malls ... The floors and walls are crumbling already. When I was a kid, I thought it was a jail haha, city hall pla

I agree with you Chymera .. i don't know why Iloilo officials want to stay there .. it's an awfully ugly building. No wonder some of the city departments are found elsewhere ... Iloilo City Hall is very unsafe. I went there five years ago before I left .. gosh, really horrible. Where's the appropriation for the New City Hall taken? ... seems it gone missing .. hmmm

here's an update from Malaya National Newspaper Online ...

A P50 million ghost city hall

Coming from a two-day weekend vacation in Guimaras, we passed by the street in Iloilo City where the city hall is sitting. I told my friend who invited us to lunch that the city hall building looks antiquated to me.

He shot back and said there is an appropriation for P50 million made in the term of former Mayor Malabor. Up to now, construction of the new edifice has not started. Malabor who lost a congressional bid for the lone district of Iloilo City to the son of Justice Secretary Raul Gonzalez has not been heard from as far as the money and the new city hall is concerned.

The Ombudsman is not investigating either, as far as my friend knows.

We might add here that the contractor who was supposed to make the new building was brought in by the husband of a senator from Western Visayas.

I would not make the baseless charge that the money has been embezzled by somebody. But if the new city hall has not been constructed after more than two years, the residents of Iloilo City should be told where the money is.

The Tarlac Capitol probably has the most widely reproduced and distributed photo. Anyone can post a picture?
