San Jose to Iloilo By Bus

My bus ride from San Jose De Buenavista in Antiqué, to Iloilo City. Yeah!

Finding My Ride
This was as I have intended (to ride a bus, not a van) for 2 reasons: 1] bus seats are more spacious than the vans (more leg space), 2] best views of the world outside.

And I knew even from long ago, there are Ceres buses (both "Aircon" and "Ordinary") going to Iloilo or elsewhere. So, I took a tricycle from downtown to the bus terminal.

Not here, these are the vans for Iloilo!

Not here too, these are going to Anini-y!

The yellow buses here!

Note: the red sign at that back building says San Jose De Buenavista Bus Terminal.

Behind the buses is a street. Driver brought me there, saying it's nearer. True! Here!

That man in shorts told me the 2nd bus, behind the 2nd tree, was the next for Iloilo.

That's the one in front of him in that photo above. This:

So I went for it. Yeah!

Look! There is that prominently displayed trashcan right upon getting on the bus!

Look to the left, there's a mini-broom! Just with that, passengers should already get the hint, that littering isn't allowed on their buses. A clean bus is a happy bus, di ba?!

Departure
Ten minutes after I boarded this bus, off I was for my 100km ride to Iloilo City. Go!

And as if a must (aw, maybe it's a must), Mr. Conductor started his on-board movie!

I think it was one of the Jason Bourne movies. But, aside from I've already watched all of them (and read all the books), I prefer looking at places where the bus passes.

Even watching (and taking a pic) as driver pays his terminal fee to exit the facility!

Actually technically, at least for Ceres people, it is not really the driver who pays that 'exit fee'. It's the bus conductor who goes out of the bus to pay and keep the receipt.

It makes sense to me, since he's the one holding their money in the fist place, right? Look in front of the bus. There, is our conductor walking back after settling that fee!

I'm happier observing (and learning from) 'little things' like that during my bus travel, than be spraining my neck and straining my eyes, looking up to watch movie reruns!

The Bus Cuts Across Town!
And so, at 12:19NN, we were out on San Jose's main thoroughfare heading south...

I just smiled and told myself in such a short time, I passed by this road about 6 times!

This 7 Eleven at left is where I sat earlier - at the Caltex across the Municipal Hall!

And of course, to the right is that building with 16 different signboards for Susana!

At the end of this road are the Freedom Park, Bantayog Wika, Salakot and Capitol.

By the way, the bus conductor saw me clicking that shot, so he took the opportunity to tell me, that tricycles are allowed on that lane during Sundays. Great information!

I was not even thinking about that thing - at all! But I thanked him for 'educating' me! My intent was just to capture a shot of those banderitas for their Binirayan Festival.

Well and good anyway. New learning! It says "bawal ang tricycle at motorbike dito" so now I know, that this part of town - a national highway - must be busy on weekdays.

Still passing by parts of town where I even had leisurely walks in the morning!

Let me interpret this collage of three photos: 1] the one in the middle is Duterte (aw, our driver pala) making the sign of the cross, as our bus was passing by the church!

2] The right flank photo is just after the church, a pedestrain overpass connecting 'a school and a school'. Huh? Eh, it wasn't clear to me, if those are 2 schools or just 1!

I saw DASJMS signage on both sides. The campus at right (beside the church) says DASJMS 1930 while the arched gate at left says San Jose Elementary School 1930.

3] That left panel of my photo collage above is a shot of my bus ticket. It says I paid P137 for this trip from KM97 to KM00. You already know how to 'decode' that, right?

The 'Terminal Concept'
I just realized, all these places I have (so far) been describng, were the same places I've been in-and-around during my leisurely walk earlier in the morning. 'Pansin nyo?

Why didn't I just wait for this bus at, say, below the overpass or somewhere in those areas? Why go far north to the terminal, when the bus would pass this way anyway?

Eh kung hindi ako parahan ng madirpakir na tsuper, aber?

Aahahaha, they can have many reasons, like 'they did not see me', 'bawal sa kanto na yan', 'there's no bus stop', 'sa terminal dapat', etc! Bakit nga ba uso na iyang terminal?

Ah, it has to do with what I call the 'Terminal Concept' in land transportation, which I know has many other terms such as 'hub' or 'interchange' - all to avoid traffic chaos!

Many towns and cities in our country have that in place (example all of Cebu). Many still don't have them; others have issues! Alangan naman memoryahin ko lahat yan!

So when I travel by land, I always ask where (if any) is the transport terminal. That's the rason why I went to the San Jose bus terminal even if buses pass by downtown.

Moving on..,

More of The Center Of Town
After 9 minutes on the road, we were already passing by Gaisano Grand Mall.

That was 20kph. Mr. Driver said that was already fast for traversing this town's CBD.

In my mind, I said "okay fine, sabi mo eh"! Of course I didn't tell him that I wished we were even slower, so I could gaze at the wonderful sights, like those white tricycles!

Their Tricycles Are White!
Oist! It was only this time that I came to realize their tricycles here are colored white on the outside. I even reviewed my pics from since I arrived. Yes they are ALL white!

It was also this time I realized Mr. Conductor was blocking or getting into my views.

Can you see him? His right arm is on the right edge of this pic, while his right cheek is on the left edge. That meant I had to raise my phone above his shoulder to shoot!

I was trying to ready a shot at those white tricycles lined up in front of Robinsons.

Ah, he won't sit down! But, where there's a will, there will always be a friggin way!

I am not a front row window passenger for nothing hehehe! Ayan! All white tricycles, and they even have almost the same body make/style. I wonder if that is legislated!

If anyone knows, if the color white and the body make of those trikes is a municipal ordinance or batas pambansa heheh, please tell me in the comment section below!

They make this town look tidy and orderly. Yan ang dapat tularan. Yan ang sana all!

Juxtaposed Parking
By the way, as I was busy capturing those white tricycles on my phone, I could hear driver and conductor discussing if the alternating juxtaposed vehicle parking in front of the mall was a requirement or if it just incidentally happened. Opcors piniktyuran!

I looked at the picture - since this bus was already zooming fast. Yes, oo nga! I saw what they were wondering about. Vehicles parked alternately facing the other way.

Da! I don't know about that since I haven't been driving/parking for decades now! If, that really is a rule, I think I can see the rationale - at least some probability hehehe!

Okay sige, counted na yan as "lesson learned" or a "pending lesson to be learned"!

Malandog Bridge
Soon we approached a big bridge that's the boundary of San Jose DB and Hamtic.

Alas dimalas for me! Mr. Conductor would not go away from my 'line-of-sight' haha!

I couldn't ask him to sit down, since I didn't know if he was about to wave or call out for passengers in the next few meters or seconds. That's a job I can't interfere with!

I moved to his other side hoping for a clearer vantage. Ahay same-same, but better!

I was at least able to read the name, Malandog Bridge. I think it's being spruced up.

No problem on the side window. Good vantage. But my front view was.., hopeless!

As a frequent traveler, I only know too well, that to watch via the side windows 100% of the time, on a fast-moving bus, could get you dizzy! I needed 'my' clear front view.

I couldn't that easily ask the conductor to scram! He did me a big favor earlier. I was seated front seat right side window and I asked him to not let anyone sit beside me.

Request smilingly granted. Dasón, subong, siya naman palayason ko? Daw kaláut a! I asked him to sit down on the vacant seat beside me, he just smiled but didn't do it.

In my getting irritated brain, I was already saying "iniisip pa yata ng tarantadong 'to na pinagnanasaan ko sya"! Well, he even has his own seat (by the stairs) but doesn't sit.

Hmm, another lesson: you cannot be too demanding if you owe someone a favor!

San Jose, Hamtic + Sibalom Boundaries
So we were in Hamtic, the town after San Jose De Buenavista, on the way to Iloilo - just passing by. I know though, this was the original first settlement and capital of Antique. In fact Hamtic became Antique, but renamed back to Hamtic in the 1800s.

Nothing much to see at this boundary, except for a slow traffic, due to constructions everywhere, and that green signage saying Sibalom is 6kms to the left. Really now?

I asked the driver, since I thought Sibalom was northeast of San Jose, BUT we were already way into the southeast. He told me, everything east of San Jose is Sibalom.

He further informed me, that it is as if Sibalom is wrapping San Jose with the sea. I learned something new again! It's not a coastal town but could be interesting. Lista!

10 Bornean Datus Landing Site
Conductor told me there's a monument being made meters to the right.

I deduced if the monument is some meters to the right, then that must already be at the mouth of the river, which, could be where the Bornean Datus first landed. Woah!

Okay, bucketlisted! A reason for me to come back to this town.

First Malay Settlement
Driver butted-in pointing to a historical marker beside the elementary school.

Ayiyiii! We were already passing by it, Manong Driver even discreetly slowed the bus down, but I was too late to click. That's the gate at left. It says Datu Sumakwel Park.

I read a signboard or something that said "HOME TO THE FIRST MALAY SETTLERS UNDER DATU SUMAKWEL". And I silently told myself: nothing much to see pala ha?!

Okay again! Double bucketlisted, underlined in red font pa! Balikan ang lugar na 'to!

The topic between Mr. Digong the driver (he really has angles that looks like Digong hehe) and Mr. Conductor, was on widening of the highway, that has already started.

Kanya-kanyang Road Signs?
I just listened while looking out where we passed. Eavesdropping ba! I noted these:

There were many others, but those are the only two I caught on my phone. I wanted to butt-in and tell them they should suggest that those signages be made by DPWH, as it is done in many other parts of this country, in 'official' (green) highway signage.

But I reconsidered realizing "sino ba sila" to DPWH officials? None would listen to a driver or conductor. So I gave myself an assignment. I'll suggest it myself to DPWH!

Bakit me makikinig ba sa akin? Yan ang tanong! Patay tayo dyan haha! Well, my plan is to tell DPWH folks I know in other places, tapos sila ang mag-suggest sa DPWH R6.

Really, everywhere I go in this country, the higway signages for public (and at times, even private) institutions, are uniformly made by DPWH, in apt road signage format.

There are many samples in this blog, such as this, this, or this and many more. I got this feeling tuloy, na parang pinapabayaan ang Antique or hindi iniintindi! Those are public institutions, they must have no less than what other towns in the nation have.

Anyway,

What is a Road Cut?
Soon the bus started climbing. That meant we were crossing west to east coast.

I wondered though, and still wonder now, what is a road cut? Putol ang kalsada? Da!

Is it the same as "road slip" or "drop-off shoulder" or "drop-off pavement"? Are there many other terms for this? Naputol? Nalaglag? What? Eh kung kami ang sumunod?!

Maka-praning oi! Kulba!

But in a second, this is what I saw as probably what those signs were refering to.

Whatever happened, it looked like the road has been cut, but now passable. Haaay!

Conductor told me there was a landslide, and a big long truck fell on its side, here:

I did not say anything - kasi ano naman dapat kong sabihin, di ba? Alangan namang sabihin ko wow, exciting! I was actually silently saying Lord not now ha? Ayoko pa eh!

Lumalabas ang mga saloobin pag nakakakita ng sakuna hahaha! Ayaw pa nga eh!!

After that "road cut", all looked great, still on high elevation with cool views.

Antique / Iloilo Provincial Boundary
Driver told me, this grotto marks the boundary of Antique and Iloilo provinces.

After turning that sharp corner, we came across the Antique Welcome Arch.

Well, from this side it says "come again" since we were exiting Antique. The flip side of that says Welcome to Antique. Kruhay, by the way means Mabuhay or Long Live!

Not too clear in that pic, there is a sign (lower-right) that also says "road cut ahead"! There was none (anymore) ahead. But I could see that, where that sign stands, is an 'impending road cut'. You see that asphalt crack? It means the right side is slipping!

Some meters on, I saw this sign saying Antique DPWH serves only up to this point.

That was probably 200 meters from the welcome arch. Would it therefore be logical to assume that that corner, is the true or real boundary between the two provinces?

If so, eh di wow hahaha! I just find it cute, that a neigborhood of houses are actually on different provinces. Houses before that corner (not in photo - before and beside camera), are in Hamtic, Antique; while those in the photo, are in San Joaquin, Iloilo?

Entering Iloilo from Antique!
So after 50 minutes, my bus entered the town of San Joaquin in Iloilo Province. Ye! But this was still far from destination - maybe 75 to 80 kms - or about 2 hours more.

And the first interesting sight I saw was this billboard (by/from the DPWH Iloilo?)...

It is old and worn but I was still able to take that shot and read everythig completely, since our bus stopped to give way to pedestrians. And it turned my brain a spinning!

It says:
REMEMBER
TRAVELLING ALONG MOUNTAINOUS
TERRAIN NEEDS EXTRA PRECAUTION
WATCHOUT FOR FALLING ROCKS
IT MIGHT CONTAIN GOLD
Ano daw? Is it some kind of a joke? It probably is. Maybe an attempt to help drivers fend off boredom while driving in the middle of the moutnains. Sige oo, effective na!

Hay these DPWH people... kasagaran makapungot, usahay makalingaw!

From here onwards, the road seems to be on a downward run. Yeheey!

The lush mountains are still a great view...

This side of the island also has many road maintenance/improvement activities.

This is a "road slip", "drop-off pavement", "road cut" whatever. A deep ravine!

I heard driver and conductor talking about a vehicle that fell on that part weeks ago.

Ah, like anywhere in our country, there are also dangerous things like these here...

At right, that is proof, that whatever we say, our country is still crude in many ways.

At center, sarap pilipitin ang leeg ng tonto na yan! He was swerving and swaying left & right, and we just came from a curve where he dared overtake our bus. Driver said the guy is drunk. I looked at the time 'twas only 1:14PM. When did he start drinking?

Kanamit sumbagon ah!

About 7 minutes thereafter, we approached a bridge being reconstructed.

Manong Conductor was in the way of my sights again. Awrrr!

At least I saw a name: Quianan Bridge 1, and I looked back on my window for this.

Where there's a will hehe! Eh 'di ko makita sa harap, so pagliko, I turned and clicked!

Katang Area
What's the fuss about? Ah, if that is Qui-anan Bridge, that would be over Tiolas River, an abundant source of the popular, mouthwatering Katang, made into Crispy Crabs!

How did I know? Once upon a time, we had a housemate, Manang Siony, who came from this place, and she would usually bring us pailfuls of Katang after vacationing.

The Town of Lawigan
There's more.., 'Nang Siony told us that when she was young, her Barangay (Tiolas), Barrio Pitogo and Barrio Quianan were barangays of the big town of Lawigan, Iloilo.

She further told us that, for reasons she did not anymore know, all barangays of the town of Lawigan were made part of the adjacent town of San Joaquin. Ganun pala.

Bandi Haven
Anyway, maybe 300 meters from the bridge, we made a BRB stop. Yes, a BathRoom Break and everyone alighted, including me, not only to pee but to see the stores too.

Three things that I noted here: 1] where Ceres Buses actually make that stop is their booking office in this area; 2] the urinal of the toilet I used is "make-shift", it's almost like any urinal, except that the base (bowl) is cut from a 5-gallon water jug; 3] Bandi!

There are many stores here, and every store you look at, there is Bandi of all sizes!

I think the widest I saw in these stores was as wide as a big dinner plate.

Of course they also sell many other things, but, Bandi dominates here! Bandi is life!

There are variations of Bandi, if you do not know them, just ask the Manang Tindera!

There are those cooked in muscovado or brown sugar or even combined with white sugar; there are those where the peanuts are peeled or unpeeled; crushed or whole; plus of course, there are bite-sized pieces, up to those that are wider than your face!

Ay, the conductor told me that the widest Bandi ever made in this town was half the length of a basketball court. Here in Qui-anan, San Joaquin - Visayas' Bandi Capital.

Rice Terraces
I noted too, since we left San Jose De Buenavista, there were so many rice-terraces I saw along the way. It looks like that's still a method or fad or necessity in this region.

Maybe it has something to do with the hilly terrain in this area but they want to plant rice nonetheless. The terraces here aren't as big and tall as those of the Cordilleras.

And they do not even look ancient to me. Yet, they also look amazingly wonderful, in 'their own worth', especially when the rice stalks are still young or are newly planted.

Panay Southeast
Then I saw the sea. Dagat! That meant we were already in the east side of Panay!

This is San Joaquin in the first place. So I was waiting for that view - because, being on the east side means getting nearer to my destination! Maybe some 70kms more.

I told my self, nothing 'urgent' to watchout for, since the last tour of Iloilo that I did in 2015 was up to this town. I've already seen much of what I may have wanted to see!

I still kept on the watch anyway, like for this directional sign To Iloilo and To Anini-y!

Aruu! Hindi lang Anini-y, andyan uli si kilikili hehehe! Well, I could still see it. Sige go!

A Crude Intersection
By the way, that supposed to be 3-way junction is not really what it should be. If you are headed right (to Anini-y) on this descending hi-way, there's no road forking right.

As if going to Iloilo, you first have to follow the hi-way that turns left, as it descends to join the San Joaquin~Anini-y Road. Then, you must take a u-turn - where allowed!

To explain the photo above: we were descending on the hi-way (PC Barracks Road) as it veers left from Antique. That road I captured is not "our" road. That's the way to Anini-y at about 5 feet below ours. If you were going there, your bus can't jump to it!

Hahaha! Kabuang! Here here, I grabbed a bingmap showing that weird corner!

I saw that the highway is being widened, though no indication that the corner will be made into a 3-way intersection or something with a roundabout. It's a one-of-a-kind!

Travel is education hahaha hehehe!

Let me tell you though, at about this time I was feeling weirdly sleepy. At 1:31PM? It was a bit past lunchtime, but I was sure this wasn't hypoglycemia! Iba'ng feeling eh!

Hmm, Bandi is all sugar and peanuts, right? We were probably only 3kms away from that BRB stop and I have already finished 2 of my 5 palm-size pieces of Bandi OMG!

Cease and desist agad hehe! I think that's what they call hyperglycemia. What made it worse, I guess, was I downed it with Coke, since it's the only drink I know. Paktaylo!

Moving on, I was still awake hehe, I started seeing the Tuna Stores, aw Stalls pala!

But I already covered this topic last time, right? That one is even good, it has a shed.

Why Jeeps Are Overloaded
I asked the driver why despite an abundance of jeeps or buses, there are still these:

Another lesson learned... he told me that most of those men who ride on top, or just cling to the back of a jeep are friends and/or relatives of the jeep drivers or owners.

At such an unholy hour of 1:32PM, my driver says there's a very obvious destination of most if not all those men (& women) - their Sunday School - a cockfighting arena!

Oist! Look at the side mirror! For the first time in 1.5 hours, Mr. Conductor sat on his designated seat hahaha! But I silently said: "too late the hero ka 'pre, natuyo na ako"!

And by he way too, there was a slow trapik due to some road repairs. Sana all!

Annoying But Fun Incident
Driver was irked by this tricycle that still went for it, even if it was already our turn.

That was the reason why I took the picture - to take note of the incident. But irritated Mr. Driver slammed loud and long on his horn, and that guy in blue jumped startled!

I assume he screamed, because even the tricycle driver and his passengers looked in that direction. All laughed, including our driver who was supposed to be pissed by that trike driver! His anger turned into laughter, because of that pissing man in blue!

I actually saw that his pee trajectory also jumped up! Sana naka-video ako hehehe! Our conductor laughingly expressed nga-a sa tunga sya gapangihi? I do 100% agree!

Lesson learned for Mr. Guy In Blue!

We passed by many roads being repaired during this trip. Nice job, government.

Siwaragan: A Historical Site?
Even the Siwaragan Bridge is also being replaced by an entirely new one. Sana All!

Looks good! Because Mr. Conductor was finally taking a rest on his seat!

Here's a shot of a portion of the old bridge. I like the barrier rails - artful balusters.

Now that you see the artsy old barrier rails and the mouth of the Siwaragan River, it should be worth mentioning, that this place is historical, albeit a little controversial!

Did you know about that?

It's about the 10 Little Indians.., ay sorry, the 10 Bornean Datus who arrived on Panay Island. Some say, the 10 first 'landed' on that river that you see in the above picture.

Others say, they first docked at the mouth of a river in Miag-ao. Yet still others claim that the 10 Datus first arrived at Malandog River that this bus ride earlier passed-by!

Kagamo ah! Anyway...

Two guys were also 'shooting' the bridge. Bloggers? Maybe not. Naka-uniform eh!

Another Route To Boracay
Then I saw another Air-conditioned Ceres Bus on it's way to Caticlan via San Jose.

Wow! That's new to me! I thought buses from Iloilo City (southeast of Panay Island), only go northwards to Caticlan (northwest of Panay). That bus goes a farther route!

Knowing Panay Island and the locations of Iloilo City, San Jose DB and Caticlan, the bus would therefore run south first, then west, then north thru the coastal highways.

That would probably be longer in terms of kilometer distance, than a bus from Iloilo going north to Caticlan via Passi City. Yet I guess no big difference in terms of time.

Hmm, I should try it one day - see the western side of Panay on the way to Boracay!

A Result of OverAmbition!
Onwards, I saw signage saying San Joaquin Mother & Child Hospital. In the making?

Eh this was that hospital on the news yesterday whose ownership & control is being transferred from the municipal to their provincial government - due to lack of funds.

Pwede pala yon! Like a mayor just says 'psst hoy governor, inyo nalang itong hospital na ito, di na namin kaya ang operations & maintenance eh'. What if di rin kaya ni gob?

Ayan kasi.., pra-promise-promise, di naman pala afford! Mag-RHU nalang kasi!

Well-dressed Riders
While still admiring the road widening in progress, this tricycle caught my attention.

Even at that far, I could already sense there was 'something uncommon' in its load!

The boys are in crisp white shirts con todo de corbata, me highlight pa ang buhok!

The rigors that the faithful must endure, just to attend church in their Sunday's best!

Wide Roads of San Joaquin
And when we entered town proper, all I could say was yan ang kalsada! Sana all 'no?

But I didn't wonder much. I heard a congressman / legislator comes from this town.

Eh bakit sa Catbalogan, buong (Western) Samar actually, taga-doon din naman ang congresswoman nila (obvious ba), pero ang mga kalsada, para kang nasa iskwater?

Oh yes, isama mo na those parts that are considered national highway. Haruy!

Here's more, look here...

Of course there are still the old lamp posts and even trees that remain in the middle after the road was widened. But those are 'next step' issues, that are easier to solve.

Anyway again, and eto na... I fell asleep just after San Joaquin town center!

Time Warp!
Blame it on the Bandi (too much sugar?), or the time of day (at 1:45PM), or because I woke up very early morning, or because I haven't had lunch yet - or all of the above!

Maybe it was the cool air-conditioned bus too, or I was bored as I have already been these towns south of Iloilo City, or anything else conducive, basta nakatulog na ako!

Iloilo City Arrival
When I awoke we were already turning from Avanceña to Locsin St. Aw, kodak agad!

Bagong-gising or not, there is no mistaking, that's the Molo House or Molo Mansion that I have been passing-by many times before such as when I walked here in 2016.

Taffic was a crawl at 3:05PM, so I caught a snap with the house at 'almost center':

Ayay! I clicked one millisecond too late! Although very slowly, the bus was cosntantly moving forward. I can't say naman oops teka lang Mr. Driver, can you back out a little?

Ah in fairness to my royal hotness, amateur as I may be, I realize there are not many pictures of that 'olden abode', from the vantage (especially the height) I took it from. I was in a moving air-conditioned (therefore closed windows) Ceres Bus. That's rare!

But did you know SM yan? Yes, SM as in SM Shoemart!

Not many people know, that this Lacson-Yusay-Consing Ancestral House is owned by SM Land - reason why you see those familiar brands at the gate! It's now a 'mall'!

Well, sort of hahaha! It's (I think) their first foray into cultural/heritage-related places that they do/can/will convert into... ah... what they know best, a mall. Ano laban ka?

Tasteful and apt naman daw, without altering the memories and nostalgia, by which an edifice stands for. That is why there is 'Kultura' inside - their local products store.

If you're not happy with that heritage-commercial strategy, just think of it as just like the CAP Plan Bldgs all over the country. An insurance company converting heritage houses into offices. Matagal na yan. Eh si Molo House before Yolanda pa nabili yan!

What's next? Oh well, malay natin, baka in the near future, even Municipal Halls and or Capitol Bldgs eh maging "commercially sponsored" na rin hehe! Let's wait & see!

Ganoon yun!

Anyway, though at a crawl, our bus soon turned left to MH Del Pilar St.,

This is even already a one-way street, but this afternoon, it was too congested.

I somehow knew, that the cause of this Sunday afternoon congestion would be this:

That's the cemetery entrance, that I avoided glancing at, last time I was in this area! Kasalukuyang me nagla-last-trip! And, I dared not complain in thought and in words.

I'm not superstitious, but I know there's a belief in many parts of the country (or is it the world?), that we're not supposed to complain about heavy traffic, when a hearse is passing, otherwise that dear departed's soul may drag you to where they're going.

I don't believe, but what if totoo yan? Duu! Ayaw ko!

What I do aside from praying for that soul is: I do not complain about the traffic they cause, as a way of condoling with the grief and suffering of those being left behind.

Happy thoughts lang!

Like that native roofed foyer at left. I stayed there. The best stay I had in Iloilo so far.

After that school building above (ICCC), we made a u-turn into San Pedro St.

3:10PM, and I arrived at Iloilo City after exactly 2 hours and 57 minutes. Yehey!

By plan, I wanted to walk (about 2kms) to my hotel, passing via the Esplanade. But I had things with me, and for some reason I still felt sleepy hehe! So I grabbed a grab!

It came to fetch me after 4 minutes of waiting, and in 2 minutes, I reached my hotel.

Let's talk about SEDA Atria next!
