Ilonggos use buses and public utility vehicles, commonly known as jeepneys, to travel in long distances, and tricycles for short distances. Iloilo City is the city of love in the Philippines because Ilonggos are said to be loving and caring. Ilonggos also use the language Hiligaynon in communicating with their fellow Ilonggos only in the city because languages in the provinces are a little different.

In Iloilo City, know the people have the mindset “work to live”. Even though they are pretty serious when it comes to work, they are still the most loving, caring, and humble people you’ll ever meet. The city also contains the longest bike lanes ever created in the Philippines thus, having the nickname ‘Biking Capital of the Philippines’.

Invest in rubber boots and air coolers. Iloilo City gets very humid in summer, and quite troublesome in the rainy weather. It helps to know the different jeepney routes, since parking spaces are a treasure now when you own a car. It also helps to tour the city so that they may be more familiar with their new environment. Try out the local food delicacies, or make new friends.

In Iloilo City, drivers lack discipline, so traffic can get really bad. The people, though, can be very nice and helpful. The city has several big malls and a “world-class” airport. Small local businesses thrive here and local product fairs appen on a weekly basis to promote micro entrepreneurs.

Before moving to Iloilo City, you should learn how to speak our local dialect which is “Ilonggo”. You should get ready to ride a local jeepney as your public transportation. You should also need to prepare a map as roads and streets are a bit complicated. please know that “Ilongos” love eating and food celebration so be ready with your diet.
