Iloilo
& Guimaras

A 22-page magazine for the city and the island next door. Forty places we actually send our guests to, hand-drawn maps, and every recommendation tappable straight into Google Maps.

What's inside

The version of Iloilo we actually know

Planned around real September weather: mornings on the coast, afternoons under a roof, evenings out once the air cools. Not a brochure — the places we go back to.

The food city

La Paz batchoy, pancit molo, and the open-air seafood houses along the western coast where the catch lands that morning.

Four churches, one coast road

Tigbauan, Guimbal, Miagao and San Joaquin — including a UNESCO facade that carves St. Christopher into a coconut tree.

Guimaras

Fifteen minutes across the water. Mangoes with a serious claim to being the world's sweetest, a Trappist monastery, and near-empty coves.

Bikes & family days

The country's cycling capital, plus aquariums, island-hopping and the 456 steps of Garin Farm for days with children in tow.

Hand-drawn maps

Two maps drawn for this issue — every place named, and every pin opens Google Maps.

The practical page

Ferries, fares, money, weather and the honest word on typhoon season.

Where we'd stay

Our two places in Iloilo

Both sit in Iloilo Business Park, Mandurriao — walking distance from Festive Walk, and the starting point for every itinerary in the magazine. They're pages 18–19 of the issue — the magazine was written from these two rooms.
