Iloilo, Provincial capital in Western Visayas, Philippines
The Province of Iloilo covers 5,000 square kilometers of land on Panay Island, containing numerous coastal towns and agricultural regions.
Spanish colonization of Iloilo began in 1566 when Miguel López de Legazpi established the first settlement, forming alliances with local Bisaya communities.
The region uses three main languages: Hiligaynon, Kinaray-a, and Capiznon, with Tagalog and English serving administrative functions throughout the province.
The province maintains strong agricultural production, focusing on rice cultivation, sugar processing, and seafood harvesting from both coastal waters and fish farms.
The Miag-ao Church in Iloilo, constructed in 1786, represents Philippine Baroque architecture and stands as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
