Revisiting Iloilo City - Is Iloilo a good city to live in the Philippines?

Why do Expats choose to live in Iloilo? What does it offer apart from a lovely Riverside Walk?
Taking the Ceres bus from Roxas City to Iloilo City is a simple process. From there I took a taxi to my chosen Red Doors Hotel in Iloilo City Proper Downtown which was unfortunately full. So I took another taxi to the Midtown Hotel nearby. Staying in Philippine hotels is hit and miss. In this video I show the 2 hotels that I stayed in were poles apart for a similar price.

I'd already spent a week in Iloilo the previous year so I've explored the majority of what the city offers. The Riverside Walk stretches for 1km on both sides of the Iloilo River in Iloilo City. There are many eateries, cafes, restaurants, a skateboard park, Go-Kart track. Over a couple of days I walked along the wonderful Riverside Walk in Iloilo City. Quiet during the day when the sun is shining, but with plenty of walkers and joggers in the early evening enjoying the riverside ambience.

Since opening on August 18, 2012, the esplanade has become one of the most popular tourist attractions in Iloilo attracting millions of visitors each year from all over the country and the world. In 2018, the linear park was cited as a "Haligi ng Dangal" awardee for the Landscape Architecture category by the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) through the National Committee on Architecture and the Allied Arts.

The Philippines should be on everyone’s bucket list with its beautiful white sand beaches, fabulous idyllic islands, turquoise sea and stunning scenery. The Philippines is a traveller’s paradise and regularly included in top ten favorite places to visit in Asia and affordable, favorite world holiday destination.

Many foreigners/expats choose the Philippines as the best country to retire in Asia and live in paradise. The Philippines is one of the cheapest countries to live in the world with its low cost of living and all year sunshine. Retiring in the Philippines is affordable on a budget of less than $1000 per month.

Filipinos are welcome and warm people. Filipinos are often regarded as the most friendliest nation in Asia and nicest people in the world. English is widely spoken throughout the country. The Philippines is included in the top ten English speaking countries in the world. The majority of Filipinos are highly proficient in English, so it is very easy to strike up a conversation and make new friends.
